Reunited and it Feels So Good

Initially she wasn't sure how he would react, but as she leaned into him, Artorias took Bowen into his embrace and the small woman breathed a sigh of relief into his chest. Emerald eyes drifted closed and she sank into the wolf that she loved above all others. Fate hadn't delivered them a kind hand to start out, but things were always better when they were together. Artorias was home to Bowen. Wherever he was, she was home.

The large brute toppled gracefully backwards and the copper marked fae let out a little gasp as she was pulled along with him. With Artorias resting on his back in the grass, Bowen wasted no time in sprawling out on top of him, scooching up a bit so that she could lay her chin upon his chest. The man's soft promise met her ears and a content little smile tugged at Bowen's lips. There couldn't be a more perfect man than Artorias. Of that, she was certain. He always knew what to do. Always knew what to say. Even when she'd been broken and drowning in her own emotions, just listening to him had kept her tethered to earth.

Bowen's long, silken tail drifted languidly back and forth as she simply reveled in the moment that they shared together. The woman's dainty digits pulled lightly through black and blue fur rhythmically, absently. "I'm sorry," she whispered once more. "I'll never make you worry again." As long as it was within her control, that was. She didn't intend to make him worry the first time, but she'd been such a mess that she could only worry about herself. Bowen's grip on Artorias tightened in a squeezing embrace that lasted for a few seconds before she relaxed upon him once more. "Do you need to get back to Briar?" That had been part of her former anxiety. Bowen hadn't been able to process her emotions when it came to Artorias and his mate. Bowen liked Briar, but she hadn't been able to work out how they all fit together. After her time away, things had settled into place within her mind. She would try hard to become friends with Briar not only for Art's sake, but for the sake of Briar and herself as well. Bo wanted their arrangement to be a harmonious one and she would work to make it so.
