Eviction Notice

She wouldn't back away or shudder as he reached forward to grab around her. It was a familiar feeling as he took her in an embrace, and yet so different than she had ever known. It was easy for her to hide her feelings. She wasn't a loud boisterous type after all. She did so now even while the worry and anxiety of leaving her den where she was born was still just there on the surface. Arc could see it. She didn't have to say anything.

It wasn't until he started speaking that she carefully indulged in the comfort of his mane, maybe the best way to hide her emotions. She was learning that it wouldn't be so easy with him anymore. She heard every word he said, she could feel it in his voice. He knew the loss similar to her. A daughter and her mother, a son and his father. She may have never seen them as fully equal. She'd probably always feel like Arc was higher than her. Not higher by greater, but she'd hurt more for him than herself even in the same situations. She wasn't ready to move. But maybe, it did seem like the right time. To be with him. She was still too oblivious to know where she was headed and with him, but she only knew one thing, "I just want you to stay here with me Arc." Her gaze turned up to look at his, just a couple gentle tears that had fallen from her cheeks. Her paws carefully hugged around his chest and after a couple moments of looking up at him her muzzle slowly pushed forward towards his. A deeper, more meaningful kiss than their first. She was no expert in the least but when she was with him like this everything felt right. Maybe he felt the same. When they left today there would be no coming back. She couldn't bare the thought of the use of her and her mother's den once she was gone. And so she wouldn't think of that. She'd just have to look forward to a future so soon with Arcturus. There was finally a bright side to her life.
