I could really use a wish right now...

Ivory and ebony marked head turned down for a moment, then his breath caught when he felt a soft warming touch to his neck. The woman had moved forward, resting her head briefly against his neck. And in return, he leaned forward and pressed his face into the soft fur of her neck and chest. He inhaled her scent, the sweet smell of lavender and ginger intermingled within his nostrils. It was soothing, to have close contact like this. His mother often did this when he felt sad, except her pelt carried the scent of the ocean mixed with coconut. Ah the memories...His ears would move to listen to the sweet words of the maiden, her notes like sweet and gentle music to his mind. She knew how he felt, and it wasn't everyday he met a wolf that had the same feelings as he.


He looked up as she moved away, giving him a smile that in turn, made him create a smile of his own. She turned and spoke, his ears listening to the new song that would cry in the darkness. Her sister...such a young age to pass... He noticed her tone was devoid of any emotion towards it, but why? No matter how long ago his tragic losses happened, and when the memories entered his mind, he couldn't help but still get emotional. It was just who he was, sensitive...sometimes he hated it. But he didn't like trying to be one of those guys who thought crying was a sign of weakness. No, to him it was a sign of strength. Of the trials and tribulations one had endured during their life, and he had endured quite a lot.


He followed her, stopping just a few feet back as she stopped over a puddle. He stared at the small body of water, seeing the surface ripple for a moment then sit still. Closing his eyes in understanding, he moved forward and touched her shoulder with his nose. "It's okay to cry y'know? But...if you need someone to talk to, or if you ever need help...I'm here. I know how hard it is sometimes, but with that comes strength. Aurora, I'll help you through the sorrows and sadness if you'll allow me. One should never stand alone for long, the world gets lonely that way. I should know, I've been alone since my parents passed...and I was just cast to the side, an invisible. Nobody should live that way." He touched his tail to her side in a comforting manner, the motion comforting to him as well, and hoping it would comfort her at least a little. Would she believe him? He inwardly made the promise, and promises he never broke.
