Homecoming

The man would accept her offer, taking it without hesitation. That was good, she had missed such behavior from the man while he had been gone. "Great, it would be a great honor to work beside you once again." Even though he was no longer the king, the woman would still believe him to be in her head while still having great respect for his son that now ruled. Who wouldn't feel such a way, she had been there when he brought the Kingdom together, and it would most definitely not fade.

With the smile still there and grey orbs focused on the man, Loccian would watch as he stood up, expecting him to motion for her to lead him back into his home. He wouldn't do that, and for a moment she grew confused when he had stepped towards her. Gerhardt would get really close, and because the woman was confused she wouldn't move from where she stood.

Then it came. He would suddenly lean forward and brush his cheek against hers, low voice murmuring, "I have missed you so."

Shocked was what she was at that very moment. Was he serious, the way he touched her seemed like he meant it more than just as missing a loyal member. Was he trying to tell her something? Eyes would close as she leaned into his touch, wanting to think such a thing was true. But why? She was nothing special, better yet... was he only doing this because he was lonely after the events with Adette? Loccian didn't want to feel like another substitute...

"I have missed you too." Her voice would lower, deciding she would take the chance. After all this time, she had mostly looked up to the man thinking he was a good leader, friend and father. It wasn't till the last time they had spent time together that she had felt something, a feeling she hadn't expected that was buried deep within.

Should she pull away or stay where she stood, her cheek against the mans? She would hesitantly pull back to look at Gerhardt, a warmness swirling within her eyes, her ears going back against her head. "I... have kept our den as it as when you left... made a little adjustments to make it more comfortable, if you wish to still use it." She'd say shyly, tail stopping its wagging and hanging between her legs, curling inward a bit, embarrassed at telling the man she had been keeping the den nice for when he returned.
