It's Never Enough

She would easily accept his revelation, returning his smile, but he wouldn't miss the sadness within it. He'd return her kisses, the young boy finding himself savoring the affection as she slipped back under his chin. He'd wrap his paw around her, wanting to pull her even tighter to his form. He wasn't sure about leaving their northern stronghold just yet, but were she to ask him to run away right then he would not have protested. She would only say that she was not ready to go back inside, and he would not push her that way. Lian would only stand with her, listening to the sound of the waves hit the beach.

He would rest his head on her own as they stay there in silence for a long time, surely the rest of their family would be out and about soon. Not that he would pay them too much mind, Zola had his attention, always. He had never really been separated for her for long and he did not intend on changing that. He held every intention of spending his life with her. Just like mother and father. Though she was the one that had asked for affirmation of his love Lian would be the one to beg her not to leave. "Don't leave me, okay?" pale lips would whisper as the first wisps of color started reaching across the sky.
