Something In The Way

The instant smile was noted and Chimera granted her one in turn. Reila informed him that she'd just needed a change of scenery and the brute nodded. He understood that. It was the reason that he and Erystotle were cleaning up the old yacht. A change of scenery. A place of refuge.

As the fae's blue eyes closed, Chimera looked her over. She looked incredibly relaxed and he was glad that this was the case. She'd been so nervous and uncomfortable when he'd found her on the beach. Reila was an entirely different wolf these days. She had a ways to go in some aspects, but she was really coming into her own. He was proud of her.
