It was hard acknowledging that the end was coming, knowing all that they would be leaving behind them and knowing of course that this was also the end of his mate's life as well. There was no denying it though, he could feel it in his aching bones, his tired body and mind and fading spirit had made it all to apparent for him and for Novel too sadly. Her own weak tones would answer him back as she stirred, questioning if he was ready. He had come to accept that life was ending though was it ever really possible for anyone to be ready for it?
"No" He responded simply. "I'm ready to be rid of this illness though I'll never be ready to stop living with you." He responded, nuzzling her in return. He knew not for certain what waited for them after death, if there was any chance for their spirits to remain together in some sort of afterlife though he certainly longed to believe in it.
