what's tomorrow without you?

The warmth of his kiss upon her forehead releases a happy hum in her chest. To be loved again is all she had wanted. To be needed, to be cherished, valued, appreciated. Vidarr gave her all of those things and more. There was nothing she could complain about. Honestly, she couldn't hide the smile he brought to her lips whenever he was nearby. How could she not smile in his company? Though he a shadow, it filled her heart with warmth. Even as he blew in her ear and flirted with her, she giggled like a helpless damsel. "You flatter me," she mentions before reaching over to tug on the thick fur of his cheek gently with her front teeth.

It is then that he mentions it is a squeeze to go farther up. Drawing her gaze away from him finally, she lets him move forward to lead the way. The way he moves tells her that he has already been here. Though snow has fallen, she can see the slight depressions ahead of him. What was this man up to? Her brow raises as she stays silent for awhile. Focusing on not falling off the sheer cliff edge, she instead enjoys the trek up the mountainside. To be cold once more, to feel the dry air sucked into her lungs, she wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

He asked where they should expand. Tenshi stays quiet for a moment while she lulls over the question. "The mountain provides hunting on the lower slopes so I am not worried there. Perhaps we expand somewhere we can make into a home? That is not in the open," she continues to think on it before remembering the time she was exploring with Keila. "Ah, maybe we should look into the mineshafts on the northern side of the mountain? It would be difficult to be raided there, easy to keep secret, but could be dangerous if not fortified," Tenshi continues to contemplate as they amble up the steep walkway.

"Have you been to the other neighboring lands? I have not had much time to look elsewhere for potential," she looks off the side of the mountain and out into the vast expanse of Boreas. Though it is cloudy up here, she can still see blotches of green and blue peeking out through the clouds. Maybe they should take somewhere open and free? Or the deep depths of the crypt she had passed once. The mountain was smack dab in the middle of Boreas so their possibilities were quite endless...
