Athena padded through the territory with Amalia at her side, a small, pleased smile glued to her muzzle as they moved toward Amalia's old den. It wasn't a very long journey, but even still Athena wouldn't move more than an inch away from the smaller girl's form. Occasionally she would let her shoulder brush against Amalia's, glancing over at her every once in a while with a slightly wider smile. New love was always the most exciting, but it made Athena nervous all the same. She knew Vereux's dedication, knew he wouldn't take this well. But what was she supposed to do? She couldn't turn Amalia away, couldn't go on living with her wondering if she really did love her in return, couldn't hide her feelings if she did... She was just going to have to cross the bridge that was her husband when they came to it.

Soon enough it would come into view, a little covered up with snow and a few small fallen branches. It was obvious that no one had been in it for quite some time, possibly since she had been here to look for Amalia shortly after her disappearance. Athena picked up the branch that was laying across the door and gave it a gentle toss out of the way and used her forepaw to brush the worst of the snowpile out of the way. "There, just like new," She said with a small chuckle before turning around to face Amalia once again.

Oh how those blue eyes got her every time. Athena stepped closer, a gentle smile on her face and a tender look in her eyes. "This reminds me of the day we met... You've come so far since then." Memories of finding Amalia half buried in the snow, cold and starving. Athena had curled around her protectively then and now that she looked back on it she wondered if that had been the day that had sealed her fate to have feelings for this small girl. She hesitated, her eyes fixed on Amalia's before she slowly leaned forward and brushed her muzzle gently against her love's russet one. "It'll be dark soon... May I spend the night with you here?" she whispered, a daring thrill running through her at her forward advances.
