you'll be in my heart

| Kamala felt her tail wag genuinely, for the first time in some time, as Maverick pressed his cheek against hers. The gray female inhaled softly, taking in the scent of her brother. She loved him. And if he decided that he didn't want her to be his Princess anymore, well, she would understand. After all, he needed someone who could be relied upon to lead Seracia one day, and Kamala wasn't that wolf right then. And sure, he would just be another wolf that she had failed, but it would be understandable. His words were a welcome distraction. "We must," Kamala agreed with an inclination of her head, "I am never too busy for my brother," No matter what duties she would have within the Kingdom that she loved, she would make time for Maverick whenever he wanted her at his side. No matter how upset she was, no matter what. For her, this would not be negotiable. Ears twitching slightly, Kamala glanced guiltily at her brother. For a half-second, she considered lying. But she knew that Maverick would see right through her if she tried. They had never lied to each other, as far as she knew. And she wasn't about to start now. It took her a long moment to form the words, however, and when they fell from her tongue, they lacked her typical grace. "It's . . . Well, was our mother. Oh, Maverick, I feel like I could have done more for her! Maybe if I'd loved her more or talked to her more, maybe things would have worked out better, you know?" The words burst from her maw like a flood, "I know I can't change it now, but I feel like I could have helped her more." She hesitated, and then let the second thing that had truly been bothering her escape her. This was more strange, less understandable than her previous confession. "And . . . on top of that, Gideon left for Valhalla, you know." Of course he knew; he was the King of Seracia. She was being foolish, thinking that he wouldn't know. This wouldn't be news to him. But perhaps he would understand what it meant to her. If not, well, no harm in elaborating a little further. She was starting to feel better already. A little. Maybe? |
