Hours Left Behind

As she assured Cerberus that she would want to remain here with him, Albion, and Scylla, she could feel the relief from him in the way he pulled her closer and shared that he was glad for that, letting her hear how much that meant in his voice. She of course knew that Cerberus cared about her, but maybe she sometimes underestimated how much. She had assumed that he cared about all of their siblings fairly equally, but she was beginning to wonder how much that was true. It made a wider smile pull at her lips while she looked up at him affectionately as his paw lifted her gaze up to his. The gentle, but passionate kiss he pressed to her lips felt like a reward for choosing him and Elysium over returning to her parents and the bulk of their siblings. She was sure that wasn't his intention with the shared affection, but she enjoyed having his attention and the physical affections they shared so it felt like a reward to her and reassured her that she had made the right decision.

She didn't want their kiss to end, but eventually he pulled away and she didn't stop him, instead blinking her two-toned eyes open to look up at him again. He brought up the fire that still needed to be started, reminding her of where they were and the fact that they still needed to get their camp ready for the night. She wasn't sure how much of a distraction her first heat was on it's own or how much the fact that she was with Cerberus specifically played into it, but her mind was already far away from the Sound and their other responsibilities and instead was wrapped up in what she wanted to do with Cerberus. "Right, of course," she replied with a little chuckle, giving him a bit of a grin as he unwound from her and she began to get to her paws once more. Turning away from the water's edge and heading back toward the sheltered spot they had found before, she began to help him with unpacking their camp and getting the campfire arranged and started. She let him take the lead for most of it, but helped where she could so that their home for the night could get done quickly.
