walk through flames

He hadn't expected her to so easily fall into his embrace, a pleasant surprise the decorated wolf would let his eyes close to just enjoy her presence. To have someone who he knew wanted him, in at least one way made him feel that much more connected to this new world. His sole purpose in life right now was Shai, his second priority had to be himself and healing his broken heart. Only when Shaye was old enough to care for herself and his emotions had been healed would he let himself start to think of Motif as anything more than just the unintended mother of his child. He wouldn't miss the slight tremble in her form, sure now that she was not distraught from the cold as he had earlier asked. She would whisper her allowance of time, the prerequisite seemingly such an easy thing to ask. He would sigh, feeling himself fall into her. The stress he held on his shoulder felt like he might be holding up the world, but as she whispered those words he couldn't help but feel okay. Like everything might work out. "Shaye first," the words would eventually fall from his lips, but he would refrain from withdrawing. Eventually they would need to get back to the two sleeping wolves, and if they were smart at least try and sleep for a while. As far as he knew they still had a bit of a journey. |
