the beast in the shape of a man

Tenshi sees it, feels it, knows its happening, but doesn't push it. She had not been close to Audra or Celeste, but understands their relationship with Vidarr. The pain of losing someone close to you is a pain she does know. It is something someone has to feel and accept on their own and that is what she allows Vidarr to do. Head down, paws forward, constantly moving until he fell exhausted each night. The pups and pack alone were enough to tire both of them out and she was thankful for that. This night though, something feels different. Vidarr doesn't appear so harrowed.

She can tell as she watches him move to the firepit outside their den. Turning to count that all the pups were there, she tucks them in tightly with the companions before moving to follow her husband. Landing with a softness beside him, she doesn't hesitate to snuggle right up to him and playfully snatch the mead away before he gets the first sip. Finishing her swig, she licks her lips before reaching over to move her tongue across his muzzle, a smile on her face.

As she hands the bottle back over to him, she rests her chin upon his plush fur. "Would you like to talk or be distracted?" Tenshi murmurs as she gently presses her nose into his fur and against his skin.
