Don't Let Me Down

It had become common routine for Kane to spend a good portion of his nights either out in the castle gardens or on the plains, watching the stars and moon in the heavens above while he prayed. In all his years, he'd never found such a clear view of the night sky as he did in this place. It truly made him feel as if he'd found where he was meant to be. The life of a lone vagabond had been the life he'd resigned himself to and had come to terms with, but after meeting Tamsyn and finding he was capable of loving again, the Hallows had irrevocably become his home. Still, despite the time he'd spent with the pack, the only ones of his new mate's children he'd spent any reasonable length of time with were Artorias and Gwynevere. He'd hoped to change that now that he was going to be a permanent fixture in Tamsyn's life, but finding the right way to do so without feeling like he was imposing or intruding was... challenging.

As if the Universe had seen fit to answer his dilemma for him, tawny brown ears caught the sound of a call for him from across the plains. It was a familiar voice, but not one that was immediately recognizable. Curious, the dire brute rose to his paws and shook the loose grass and dew from his fur, plodding across the rolling dips of the hills and flat grasslands until he found the russet and ivory fae that had called him. He recognized Tamsyn's littlest daughter from when she'd returned home to the family, but she was another of her brood that he hadn't spent any time with. Looks like that was about to change! Wearing a welcoming smile, he approached Bowen and dipped his head to her in greeting, the jet-black raven feathers in his mane that represented his lifelong commitment to Tamsyn bouncing gently as he did. "Are the stars speaking to you tonight, little bird?" he spoke in his gentle rumbling baritone, finding a seat on the grass near her, but not beside her, giving her a respectful amount of personal space. "It's good to finally find a chance to speak with you. I am Kane."
