Is All As It Seems?

Rest came easy these days. After the long, tiring trip home, she and her husband had been burdened with exhaustion. She could usually get the much needed rest she deserved, but Bass had seemed...a bit irritated ever since he visited with Motif. She must have discussed and updated him about the recent doings of their pack, which apparently had made Bass bubbly? It was definitely concerning to her as his wife. But also as his best friend. And she wanted to help him in any way she could...no matter how much she would have to struggle.

It was peaceful and quiet, and she was snuggled up against Finch, when suddenly she felt the source of her warmth shift and move away from her. At first, she thought it was Sparrow...but when she turned, she saw the pale form of her husband disappearing from behind a patch of tall grass. Wren frowned. She was tired, exhausted. But she loved her husband much more than she desired sleep. The small woman nuzzled Finch, before slipping to her paws and leaving the warmth of the den. Despite the freezing rush of air that enveloped her form, she sprinted after Bass, but made sure she was far enough that he would not notice her. That is, if he wasn't paying attention.

Before long he stopped at the rapids and sat at the edge, staring downward. His ears were flat against his head...and he was slouching. Body language could speak better than words ever could...the slim woman crawled out from hiding, trotting up beside Bass and seating herself right next to him. She planted a gentle kiss onto his ear before turning her gaze down to the crashing water below, sighing. "Something is bothering you," She whispered, eyeing him. The pale girl slowly moved close to him and leaned into him, careful not to completely knock him over.

"but you know I'm here for you. Even though we have children now, and you have a pack to run, I still love you more than I could ever love anyone else." She finished, rolling her shoulders forward and pressing her nose into the pale fur that made up his neck.
