New experiences

Jian was thrilled to be moving back to their old home in the forest, but the trip there was less than pleasant. She had grown huge over the last several weeks and it made going any sort of distance a chore. Her blue gaze stayed fixed on Lel as they went and she could tell he was getting frustrated with her pace, but there wasn't much she could do about it. She quickly gave up asking him to slow down, instead just plodding along at her own pace and letting him do what he wanted.

It wasn't all bad though. He checked on her fairly often and brought a snack with him for her fairly often as well. Each time he did it she would smile softly kiss his cheek gratefully. It was things like these rare acts of kindness that reminded Jian that somewhere deep down he cared. He reappeared again with a raven in his jaws and again she smiled and kissed his cheek. This time she took the raven and set it aside however, settling down on her haunches with a sigh as she glanced around at the huge trees that towered over them. "It still looks the same," she commented absently, memories swirling around in her head.

Fixing her gaze on her brother once more, a soft smile touched her muzzle and she leaned forward, wanting to nuzzle the side of his neck. Soon they would be parents and their children would run around these trees just like they had as children. It was all coming full circle.
