A light headed shudder ran through the now twice-banished as he stored away the sensations of Tahlia's nuzzle. That sign of affection would no longer be a daily touch he could enjoy or request with the distance they would have between themselves but Tahlia and Bane were strong wolves, the bond they shared unbreakable even in death. And as he mucked through the runny mud he rubbed against the side of his mate as she did to him, warmth being shared and a growl of appeasement hung in his throat while they approached the Seracia border edge.

"I miss you too my Tahlia, I'll look forward to the day when you come to me again." Bane responded to his mate's words as he turned around and sat down in the rain soaked earth, the side of his muzzle tingling from her love nibble as she quickly left him. Bane closes his remaining eye and mimed a nuzzle of his own at her departing form, a sigh being given upon loosing sight of her. Rain dripped off the sides of his head and he tossed his head with a low aroo. A den was already selected in his mind, the place along the river where Alena reared their young. A quiet place when winter came and the waters froze, a place where a wolf can be alone with his thoughts.
