Fading Waterfalls

He wasn't really sure how to deal with tears, but he could feel them dampening his coat. She wound her legs about him, and there was something lively about being held. He would just about forget the world around them and the tasks that needed doing if she hadn't removed her paws and dried her eyes. He cleared his throat, giving her a moment to recover. Only, she was already thinking ahead, back to their original plan. He gave her a grin, and dipped his head in agreement.

He was about to get to work on the meat when Terra was back in front of him again. He blinked at her, wondering if she was having told much trouble walking away from the newness of their duo. Only for her to repeat his words back to him like a mantra, pressing into his chest. "Oh, hello again" he said, smiling down at the smaller wolf. This time, when she pulled away she didn't stop again. Moving off to find something sharp, and leaving him to sort out the meat. Right, the meat. Shaking his head to free it of the lingering image of her tears, he turned back to the carcass. They had made a bit of a mess of it, but that was okay. They'd do better on the next one. They'd work like a team.
