Something Unsuspected

It was definitely relieving when she told him everything was okay, and he could sympathize with her as she told him she had trouble sleeping. He knew the feeling but not so much these days. It would only be a few moments later that he could fully understand her.

He welcomed her openly as she shifted in closer to him, not an unfamiliar feeling he felt in the course of his life. His head rested back on the furs as he quickly got comfortable again, looking down at her with a half lidded, not tired, but from sleep gaze. He wasn't deprived in the slightest. There was a huge part of him that he wouldn't admit, not that it was harming to his ego or anything, that missed this type of closeness ever since he left Siren's den. He had Valtiel for some time, and that's when he really recognized this longing for someone else in his bed. It was nothing more than that, just having someone beside him made him feel better. There wasn't a time he could remember when he didn't have someone save for the few months after he turned a year old. It was a memory as far back as when Viper was alive.

His paw rose to carefully caress down the side of her cheek, "If that's what you want." His voice was a whisper fit for the quiet of the den, not that anyone could hear them. But it wasn't until she told him that there was this sense of loneliness from leaving Fenmyre that clicked into place with him. "I know. I miss them a lot too." Still through that comfortable gaze he drew up a smile as he looked down at her, "I'm glad that you came with me though. I think Albion's having a hard time without Scylla. I try to be there for him when I can."
