Baby don't break my heart

They didn't sit alone for long. The gentle paw steps of her mate would soon fill her ears, pulling her gaze from the ground to him. Her lips would lift in a smile as she rose to close the distance between them. She would attempt to press her nose into his neck, her tongue lashing gently against his fresh. His question would fill her ears, but Taurig would answer first. "Yes, Cru this is my brother, and Taurig, this is my mate." She would turn back towards Taurig, his unseeing gaze resting on them both. A smile would lift her lips, genuine happiness brightening her features. She would take a few steps back to her brother, hoping her mate would follow. "I asked him to join us here, in Solstice." She would look over at Cru, a question lingering on her face. She was no longer entirely sure what he thought of her, but she desperately wanted to change that. She was tired, too much weighed down on her, yet she had to keep a happy face for her children and Cru. She had never told him about Taurig, so he would have no idea why his return was so surprising. Her singular gaze would shift back and forth between them. Eventually she would have to tell her brother about her handicap, perhaps they could spar together, work on building their skills together.
