To be here, with Novel... it truly felt like home. Even if Novel was more fearful than she once had been, and even if she was often afraid to even leave the safety of their den... there was nothing that Ara wouldn't do for her. The moment of peace lingered as she breathed in her wife's welcome scent, treasuring it as though it was air itself. In time, she knew Novel would find her strength again -- and she would stand by her through each minute of it, even if it took seasons, or even years. The smile lingered on her features for a long while as she let her eyes flutter closed, treasuring the quiet moment they shared. And yet she had more on her mind than just this moment. Ara spoke of her idea, and -- somewhat to her surprise -- Novel agreed. She felt her smile grow larger now. It would be hard to leave Psalm and Hymn, even if for a short while, but she couldn't help but wonder where her parents and Steel had gone, and spending some time away would surely be good for them. She wondered, though, what their new alpha would think, and hoped she might understand what they needed to do. Her next idea was more surprising. She wanted to be her wife -- truly, publicly, not just something private between the two of them. Ara's tail began to wag behind her, feeling heat rise to her face, a giddy sort of excitement coming to her suddenly. "I would love that," she agreed with no hesitation. If there was anything she'd ever been certain of, it was the love she had in her heart for Novel, and it seemed to only grow with time. "And I'd love to take your last name, too." Her own parents had never been in a family with a custom of surnames and she couldn't imagine denying the possibility of being known as Novel's wife officially. She wished suddenly that Song was still here, wishing she could ask for permission... and yet if her sons were Destructions, she wanted no more to be known as one beside them. "I will see if we can do a small ceremony," she told her quietly, leaning to lap tenderly at Novel's cheek, wondering who might come. Even if it was just their sons, she would be content. "I love you, Novel Destruction." Despite the softness of her tones, there was a sureness and vigor to her voice that could not be denied; a strength that was rarely portrayed from the woman, but always felt for her mate and their children. |
