Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

Cypress knew well enough how hard it was for her still to trust love, to, in a sense, trust him. But he would not rush her, as he promised. He promised to love and respect her. She was a part of him now, and he a part of her. The young silver and gray man would give a small nod as she spoke. Yes, she was alive. They were all alive and together, here in this ship. The pack was small, few, but together. He would lower his ears a little as she spoke and gave a nod as she continued, keeping in mind his own thoughts of the two that she mentioned.

"Yes, we certainly will. But I have faith that Sonticus will grow. We're new, but not helpless. Kreft and Mira are strong willed... they'll be good aids. I just need to adjust to them. I'm not used to wolves with so much... sass as you put it." He would chuckle softly. "..and it is better to weed at those who are not going to stay now, rather than figure it out later, my love." Cypress would close his eyes, giving a soft sigh.

"We'll just need to focus on building trust in one another." Those words were secretly more for him than her, however. "...and moving towards a future. We'll be a name known. We'll be a strong family. I won't watch this pack crumble around us." He'd open his eyes and look at her, a gentle smile on his maw.

"Are you getting enough to eat, my beloved? I could go back at and catch you something if you're feeling peckish."
