The woman had no intention of sinking deeper into darkness. She was becoming well and her mate was there by her side to provide anything she needed. Still, the saddening thoughts would sneak into her mind as she learned of the fate of her family. There was hope, and she could shake off the lingering thoughts. Harmony was here, and possibly to stay. "I'm sure she'll certainly stick around long enough for that, even if she does have plans to leave again." She would nod to Dutiron's comment, she would see her before she decided what it was she wanted to do.
Finally the male would settle himself beside her, she would feel his welcome warmth in the winter chill. Even within their secure den she could feel the cold of the season's wrath, and still recovering she would be more so effected by the low temperature. "I had the pack around me, I wasn't alone." She would find her lips pulling back in a smile, yes he had their family to rely upon. She would return his nuzzle lovingly once again, the feeling of his fur against her skin creating more warmth than intended. The thoughts that would brew within her would cause a slight blush to form on her cheeks as she tried to shake off the lusty thoughts. "I'm just glad to see you getting better now. Is there anything you need?"
She would shake her head, "I just... need you." her whisper would be filtered through his dusty fur as she buried her features into his pelt. A smile tugging at the corners of her pale lips.
