funny how life changes

Gwynevere saw the way his expression fell when she asked about the things he had brought with him and her brows pulled together in a bit of concern, looking to his paws for his response. When he told her that his pack was gone her eyes widened in shock and sympathy. "Gone?" she gasped softly with disbelief, wondering to herself how a pack could dissipate just like that. She had never visited his pack and wouldn't know the state it had been in, but it just felt so strange for something like that to have happened. Still, when he added that this was the only place he'd rather be an excited flutter hit her and she looked up to his face as a little grin tugged at her lips. She hated that these were the circumstances that brought him here, but already she was almost too excited to contain herself at the idea that he would get to be here with her every day and the long stints between being able to see him would finally be over.

"I want you to be here too," she told him, unable to keep her grin from pulling across her face again while her tail wagged. There was a bit of nervousness that crept in on her as she realized that there would be no more hiding her bad days from him, the days where she only wanted to hide away in the infirmary and bury herself in her work to keep from thinking about anything else, there would be no hiding her anxiety or her fears, but the hopeless romantic in her wanted to believe she could continue to trust her heart to him and that even with him living his daily life with her they would still continue to love their time together all the same. There was really only one barrier to get through before he could live here and that was her brother.

She tipped her head back and let out a howl for Artorias. As much as she liked to believe that her brother wouldn't be angry over her bringing Ysmir into the pack to go see him instead of calling him to the border, she still didn't want to do anything that might put Ysmir on the wrong foot. With Artorias called, Gwyn got up and moved closer to Ysmir, sitting beside him instead and leaning into his side, looking up at him with a warm smile. "I'm really sorry to hear about your pack... but I'm awfully glad I'll be able to see you every day."
