His moans were like music to her ears, something that made him sound more alive. She wouldn't think about him possibly dying, she couldn't if she wanted to function. He was fighting to keep his breath as she worked hard to please his body, to give him something else to focus on through the pain. He rolled onto his back to give her better access, and she rose a brow at him. Ah, so was she taking the lead on this one? She smiled, sniffling as she tried to clear the traces of her tears as she rolled over him, careful to avoid touching his paw. She gently rubbed their bellies together, purple eyes looking up at him. It was then that he spoke, and tears threatened to fall once more. "Shh, shh my love. We can talk about that later." She insisted, the promise of him being here tomorrow clear in her voice. She was not going to let him go, not tonight. Stretching her muzzle up to his gin she nuzzled him softly, biting her lip to keep the tears at bay. "My sweet Scorpion..." She whispered, repeating his name over and over in her head to make Cru's name vanish. That was unfair to the man that lay beneath her, and it was possibly the last time that she would get to see him again. No, tonight was about him. About them.

Lowering herself so that she lingered above him, Othello covered his chest with sot little bites. Her breath hitched, his words still floating around in her mind. Sure he could have treated her better, but she wouldn't have given it up. Her ears pinned, but she shook her had before thoughts of the silver man would enter her mind. He had a family, and she had a broken one. She wanted to work on picking up the pieces, even more so after this. So she focused on the heat of Scorpion below her -- possibly too warm. She would make both of them forget this. Wiggling herself so that she was in control of everything, she gazed up at him before slowly lowering herself down, a moan whispering off her lips. It was awkward, but she would make it work.
