Life Among The Dead

In these moments, Cerberus could have felt like he had known Mariah for a lifetime. He may not have known her very well at all, but it didn't stop him from how he felt about her when he held her this close. Like he could keep here safe here like this. Like he would never leave.

A relieved breath he didn't know was there escaped his maw as she had asked him to stay. Maybe just the idea of how he would leave holding up in his chest. "Of course." He promised her, a gentle squeeze by the paw on her back before he went back to brushing over her again. "I'll take you back to your den." He offered, not looking to keep her cold out here despite the warmth he shared with her now. A part of him finding it difficult to shift from where they laid under the stars.

Soon he'd be pulling himself up from her, leaning his chest over her to steal another meaningful kiss before rising from the ground completely. Once they were back on Alias Island, he wouldn't leave her there. He would stay until at least the morning. He very clearly wasn't so quick to abandon her.
