Become The Same

Breaking the ice was new, but somehow she felt like she just fell into place right here beside him. The way he touched her, the way he kissed her forehead, maybe it had been prolonged how they were feeling. And now everything just felt so right and natural to her. She could feel it in him too.

Still, she couldn't really explain those deeper, darker emotions she felt when she told him she couldn't take him from his family. It was more like she didn't want to ruin the mood, or relationship between them. She wouldn't know just how this was supposed to go, or could go. But right now in his arms she wouldn't think beyond just where they were right now. It was new and enticing, but Vanille was just in this bad mindset of everything going wrong. She couldn't quite feel that way right now, but right under the surface it was there.

She felt the loss of him when he moved to get up, and it made her want to pull up to him and keep him down. But she didn't. Instead feeling that wall of his absence and taking a moment to get up herself while he set his bird out as a messenger. She could muster out her own soft smile as he looked back her, and without much else she went to move on back to her home.

After the travel they had made it back to a dug out den on the tree line edge of the Rio Grande. Vanille had considered if only for a moment staying outside of the den or at least for a little while but with the cold and late night she took a pause just where she had the center of her small camp before turning an eye to Arcturus and heading inwards of her den. She hoped her gaze was inviting enough but when she was laying down inside she did feel a strong urge to wrap her paws around him a little more affectionately than when they were just at the lake. She did miss him being so close if only in the short time between then and now. She still felt a little awkward in doing so, or maybe more like she was desperate or clingy. But she also felt like Arcturus could understand her.
