Appreciated

*Maija* · 04-12-2014, 03:19 AM

She had been deprived of the cobalt giant for so long. The mere absence of her husband was enough to drive her into another breakdown, but her sanity wasn't pushed. Instead, her five beautiful babies had reassured her that life would be all right and they would be there for comfort. Maija was not used to showing emotions without calculating placement for them. When they kept her sane, however, she couldn't help but fawn over each pup with kisses and nuzzles in the safety of their den.
Isolation was something Maija knew very well, considering that she had travelled alone when Dragomir disappeared. Even though she had grown accustomed to it before joining Tortuga, she didn't want her children to feel the same way about being alone. Emotions had begun to tear at her inner core once again, for she wanted to stay on the island and wait for Taurig. With each day, however, her hope softly dwindled away, one bright ember at a time. She thought of her children and how their futures would be shaped by her choices for them. The new mother was still undecided.
Maija Artenie was walking near the front of their den, enjoying the colors of the trees that surrounded the entrance. She was always proud of the location Taurig had chosen with her, but the mere thought of him being vacant made her appreciate the sight of fall even less. As her thoughts swirled around the fading cobalt form, she heard the howl that made her ears swivel too fast. She winced from the pain, but tolerated the following throb from both audits. Slowly, she turned and walked from their home to the beach.
Pandora's call to her with her Romanian tongue made her realize that it was actually all real. As her beautiful daughter raced across the sand to meet her fellow siblings, she watched with a wary expression evident in her leaf green eyes. Four of her babies had reached the familiar blue mass that was now sprawled across the beach, meeting them with licks and laughs of his own. Her gaze moved from the happy sight to Fakira's lone form. Once again, her paws retained a slow movement as she approached her handsome son. "Fakira," she said in soft tones. "I am just as confused as you, my dear." Romanian accent lightly danced across her tongue. "We will find out together where he had been and why." She gave him a hint of a smile and with a lick to his forehead, she nodded in the direction of Taurig's reunion as an invite for him to accompany her.
She took a few grown up steps before she felt Fakira's frame next to hers. As the cool autumn wind swept around the two, she looked up from admiring her son and back to the claimed beach. Her eyes met Sibelle's and then Falk's, but words didn't have to be said between the in-laws. When Fakira found his place beside her hind legs, Maija watched the warm spectacle of her babies and their father. Leaf green eyes remained slightly hardened - as usual - with a hint of surprise noted in her gaze. It was then that she cleared her throat and perked both ears forward. "Taurig," she said, tones quiet with the thick Romanian accent evident again. There was really nothing else she could say in front of her children and in-laws except, "What has kept you from us for so long?"
