They were most silent on their way to the alabaster wood, he hadn't divulged where they were headed. As the familiar land came into view though he couldn't help but watch Novella from the corner of his eye. Of course this had been the very first place they had met, where their lives had begun. There was a quiet peace here that he could not deny, and even as his bicolored eyes lingered on his wife he could see the subtle relaxations of her muscles as she took in the familiar scene.
He would nuzzle her lovingly, knowing this would be no quick fix. She would need time to recover, but he would see the ray of hope as her eyes brightened just a little. His nuzzle would turn into kisses up her neck before he found her gaze once more. "I met this girl here once," He'd smile as he watched her adoringly, "She changed my life forever." His voice was nothing more than a whisper, but they needed nothing more than hushed voices in this sacred place.

He would get more than just her stillness back as he showed his affections to her, she would lean into his touch and give him a quick glance. Frith's smile would grow, any progress was good progress, especially when she seemed so hopeless. His playfulness would go mostly ignored, but he didn't mind really. He was grateful enough for the press of her form in to his side and the nuzzle she offered with it. He would treasure her affection. He hadn't expected her sudden apology, nor the confession afterwards. She sounded so lost and again he would feel the rush of hurt for her, the confusion and frustration. Still he would remind himself there was hope, she was amazing and would overcome. "Don't be sorry, it's not your fault." He'd whisper to her, nuzzling her tenderly as he tried to console her. "I don't know either, but I know it can't be your fault."

Frith was the last wolf keeping score of what he had done for Novella vs what she had given back. She was his wife, his soul mate and other half, it didn't matter how much he did for her because he was completely happy to. If she had not been such an independent wolf he might have done everything for her, and if given the chance would have even been the one to give birth. Nothing was to great for his love. She was his whole world, no matter what.
She wouldn't argue with his words but he knew well enough that she hadn't been convinced. He might have wanted to give her everything but arguing with him was like arguing with a rock. He wasn't going to budge on his opinion, especially when it came to the innocence of his mate.
Quiet fell over the pair, but Frith was alright with that. He'd hold her close and nuzzle her softly, content to sit and hold her for the rest of eternity if that was what it would take. SIghing softly he'd find a familiar lullaby on his lips, one he'd gotten into the habit of humming to their pups. He didn't know if it would comfort her, but it made him feel at ease. The shrine was quiet;y peaceful, but seemed to brighten as his notes filled the air.

The peace that held tightly to this place that hung in their memories would grasp at Frith. He hoped desperately that it might hold onto Novella too and soothe the heartache that lingered within her. He didn't know why or how she had suddenly been thrust down this path but he was ready to have her back to him at full capacity. She had a family that needed her, he needed her. Not that he was going to do anything close to hurting her while she was down. He needed her to get better on her own. He knew any kind of forcing would only lead to regression, and after their time here he couldn't see her do that.
She seemed to relax as he began to humm quietly, her form would lean into him as she closed her eyes. He didn't know what she was thinking but he could see the focus on her features. He'd been humming this song since early pup hood, and he had no doubt he would continue the habit well into his later years. Whenever he needed a quiet moment (here in this peaceful garden, when the pups just would not go down for a nap, when he was intimate with Novella) It was always there to calm him. Hopefully it would help his other half as well. Though again, he didn't expect her depression to be any kind of quick fix. Her recovery would still take time, but knowing how much progress could be made kept him going.
