What is dead may never truly die

Bane wondered if Tahlia thought that eating here in the after life was as strange as when he had initially ate a fish from the river. To him it had been a nervous venture. Catching a fish in his current situation had been an activity filled with caution, as well as a host of unknowns. But he had done it, and it filled out the days spent here. Bane let out a sigh and cleared his throat as Tahlia finished, a somber laugh given at Tahlia's question.

Bane drew back and nosed her cheek with a small kiss. Even as he drew himself way and stopped a short ways away to look back and see if she was following. An overwhelming sense of calm overcame him as he led Tahlia through the grass along the stream towards the hill a few moments walk away. The tree leaves rustled in the breeze as he came upon the dug up earth of the oversized den he had made for himself. Now Tahlia was here and with him. "Wait for our offspring Tahlia." Bane spoke, a somber vocalization but also a truth. One day everyone they had left behind could all be together here with them. "We can wait here. And we'll have all the time in the world for it." Bane leaned forward and gave a kiss on his mate's lips, the flick of a tongue against her teeth. Forelegs wrapped around his mate's neck, his chest brushing up against Tahlia's as he sought to lay her on the bed of leaves. He had saved a few kisses for her in the time they were apart, the old male planning on entertaining her for an eternity.
