And just a dash of poison

Trekking across the Bifröst and up into the southern fjords of Boreas brought the pair of wolves into the balmy spring weather of the northern continent, and much to Kane's relief, a much more normal world. After the cataclysm he was sure would claim this world in darkness, seeing the sun rise on that first day had been a blessing. As the Hallows recovered, Kane offered all the assistance he could to help cleanse and clean the castle from the pestilence that had befallen the pack, and once that work had been done, he immediately set back to his ultimate task. Though his plans had been stalled due to the apocalypse, he never let the desire for vengeance fade from his heart. He had sworn a blood oath to the moon and he would see his vow through if it took him all his life.

Though he had lost the trail of his prey, the silver lining was that it afforded him the opportunity to gather the requisite materials he still needed before the final showdown. Tamsyn had been a constant source of support for him in that regard, traveling with him to the places he needed to go to gather the herbs he needed. Together they got to spend more time together, reveling in being alive after surviving the apocalypse—which just so happened to coincide nicely with Tam's heat season. His little blackbird, who had quite the sexual appetite on a good day, was insatiable now. Not that the dire brute was complaining, of course. He was more than happy to keep his beloved girlfriend satisfied whenever the urge struck! And boy did the urge strike often now. Even now, as they traversed the rocky cliff sides of the fjords, Tamsyn was notably brushing her side against his, exchanging little knowing smirks that told promises of fun ahead of them.

Kane flashed a roguish grin to her, craning his neck down to nuzzle behind his blackbird's ear just to tease her a little more while they walked. He picked up the pace, trotting a little ahead of Tamsyn across the rocky terrain while hazel eyes scanned about for the bright purple flowers he was looking for. "Keep your eyes peeled, little blackbird. The flower we're looking for is bright purple and white," he explained to her, giving her a wink as he added, "If you manage to find it before me, I might even give you a little treat before we head home." Of course, he was planning on enjoying the scenic views tangled up with his lover anyway, but why not make a fun little game out of it? It always made the rewards all the more sweeter in the end.
