Change, adapt, overcome

Aliana fussed over him as he knew she would. He expected her to badger him a bit, but in the end she relented. The black and white giant placed a paw upon her cheek, bringing her blue eyes to meet his pink and blue. "Have I ever told you that you're the most gorgeous woman that I've ever seen?" She brought back his sight by some magical means and he never tired of looking at her. The brute liked to remind her of it too. It was easy to speak the truth anyway. For Chimera Klein, no woman in the world could compare to his Aliana.

Chimera had lost a bit of weight, but he was still an imposing figure. They'd cleaned the black muck from his lips and made their way to the lake. He felt good today. Or as good as he could, anyway. During the walk, he coughed a few times, but it had definitely been a lot worse. As Aliana chose their seats and made him sit, she gave him some root or other to chew, which he did without argument. It was bitter and gross, but it tasted better than the black phlegm that filled his lungs. The brute slid down to his belly, tucking his little queen in against him, and waited for the meeting to begin.
