When she insisted that he find it by smell his ears flicked back uncertainly. How could he possibly do that? He was about to protest, but he bit his tongue. No, he needed to do this if for no other reason than to make his mate happy and possibly reinstill a little faith in himself in them both. With a quiet sigh he pulled himself to his paws and lifted his nose to smell the air. It took him a little while, but finally he figured out the scent he was supposed to be looking for and headed toward it. He let Surreal help in guiding him past obstacles. It was slow moving, but eventually he was finally able to find the stream. "Thank you, sweetheart," he rasped softly as she brushed past her and slowly made his way out into the water. The stream was fairly shallow, but it was deep enough in the middle to cover most of his legs. He sighed and let his tattered eyelids slide closed on reflex at the relief he felt to have the cool water running over his dusty legs. He leaned his head down to the surface of the slowly moving water. He accidently touched his nose to the water in his attempt to lap up the cool liquid and it made him shake his head, but on the second try he lapped up several refreshing mouthfuls with no problem. The water soothed his dry, rough throat and a pleased murr rumbled in his chest. He slowly sank onto his haunches so that he was sitting on the stream bed and he just sat there for several moments letting the water run past him and flow through the fur on his haunches and the lower half of his stomach and back. He then lowered himself so that he was laying and only his head and the upper part of his neck was out in the air. Another contented sigh passed his lips and he smiled, throughly enjoying the feeling of all of the dirt and grime being washed out of his fur. He dunked his head under the water several times and rose to his paws so that he could work over his body, feeling over his sides and legs by touch to find any places were dirt or debris had gotten matted into his fur so he could lick and pick at them till his thick coat was finally clean. He sniffed the air to find Surreal's sweet scent and used it to guide him back toward the shore. When the water was just covering the lower half of his legs he stopped to shake the bulk of the water out of his coat before he came over to where Surreal was laying. He searched for her form with his nose until his nose bumped into the side of her neck. He smiled and his tail wagged happily. Now that he was clean and had gotten some water into his system he already felt a hundred times better. He knew it would take him a long time to gain back the weight and strength he had lost, but just doing this simple thing made him feel so much more alive. He settled down next to her and nuzzled his face into her scruff, breathing in her scent and just enjoying the fact that she was here in the flesh. "I missed you so, so much," he rumbled softly, his bass toned voice no longer holding that rasp now that he had some water. He followed up the curve of her neck with his nose till he found her ears. He rasped over them gently with his tongue, covering her ears, the top of her head and down over her cheek and muzzle in gentle, sweet kisses. He wanted to shower her with affection. He felt the need to prove how much he still loved her and show her that even though he could no longer see he still thought she was incredibly beautiful. Now that he could only go by smell, touch, and memories it made him realize how incredibly beautiful her personality was. It was almost like he had been distracted by her gorgeous two-toned eyes and lovely figure all this time and he hadn't been able to see how truly wonderful she was on the inside. It was something he had always known, but had never truly appreciated. He leaned his side into hers and brushed his muzzle against hers. "I love you so much, Surreal. More than I can ever possibly say." Speech Thought Others |
