Though he was reckless at best, his feelings for her had never faltered despite the constant tug-of-war they played with one each others hearts. He'd never known a love so pure or so strong as the kind he felt in his heart for Kangi -- the same love that she had always given him in return. Even his mother had never loved him even half as much as she did. A quiet whimper escaped his throat as he gazed upon her face, perpetually amazed at its beauty and simplicity. The warmth that sprouted from his chest spread through his limbs, and made him waver on all three paws. How was I so stupid? he would ask himself silently, a single tear falling down his cheek. She might not come back next time!



They were both guilty. Both afraid of something. Of love? Commitment? Talon was so certain that he loved her and that he wanted to spend his life with nobody else. It all seemed so stupid in retrospect, since he enjoyed his time with her so much, but it was scary too. There was a constant fear of losing everyone in his life that he loved and Kangi was no exception. 'Don't cry! We're together again!' she said and he nodded, though somewhat grimly. "I know, I know..." he began, voice quivering, so small in the large structure that surrounded them. "I was so scared, Kangi. Nothing ever seems to work right for us when we try to settle down somewhere..." Stability had never been a blessing for him; it was always disrupted, shattered, no different than the crumbling walls of the castle they had found themselves in now. "I get so scared sometimes. I'm not used to having anyone that loves me like you do..." It was hard to admit, and he wasn't even sure he'd ever told her that before. His parents had hardly stuck around, and Euphrosyne had disappeared far too quickly -- he was unused to people sticking by his side.


"I don't think we should try to find anywhere to live anymore," he admitted, sniffling as he tried to force himself to stop crying. They were happy tears, but he was sick of crying every time he reunited with her. "I don't like getting scared and leaving you, or waking up without you beside me. We've made it this far.. I think we can make it a bit longer without any help." It had been difficult, but they were living proof that they needed nobody else but one another. A smile tugged at his lips as she pressed into him, his heart hammering wildly in his chest. Her touch was so familiar but exhilarating too, having not seen her for months, and he would hold her close for a long moment. "I love you. I don't want to be without you again." Their time apart was never good, but both of them grew reckless when they were scared and confused -- perhaps staying on their own would prevent that reaction entirely. He took a deep breath then as he stopped speaking, inhaling her scent like it was the very air he needed to breathe.
