It didn't take her long to come to, and Sen was more than grateful when she did. She seemed rather groggy, but that was to be expected, though his anxious violet gaze showed his immense concern. When she turned to him with that lovely smile of hers, and gracing him with a lick upon his cheek, he couldn't help the growl of content he made within his throat and leaned in further against her to nuzzle her muzzle with his own. And then she found the hares he had brought her, tearing into one with a newfound passion. He was more than happy as he watched her in silence, grateful that she had woken up and that she was in the mood for what he had brought her. At her little moan of pleasure, he couldn't help the way his body reacted to her voice- shuddering slightly and pushing more against her. He could listen to her for the rest of eternity.
When she finally turned her attention back on him, he was smiling warmly and gently at her. She had done wonderfully, and though she looked exhausted- he knew very well how happy she had to be. After all- they were so similar, and what he was feeling then, at that exact moment. Sen felt as if he could conquere the world, so long as Hush was by his side. At her sweet smile, her sweet words, and her sweet caress, he leaned fully into her, allowing his eyes their closure as he murmured his reply. "Only the thought of losing you." They were simple words, and though he had not particularly thought them through, they were truthful nonetheless. Anything and everything the pale marked boy ever said was the truth, especially when concerning Hush. He never wanted to lie to her, and he never would.
He was reaching down to close his jaws over the rest of the hare she offered him, his gaze watching her as she seemed to proudly nod toward her children, when a sudden noise and shadow came upon them. Without a second thought, Sen was pushing himself from the ground before she could manage to do it herself, and putting himself between the pups and her and whatever lay outside their den. Growling in a rather uncharacteristic manner low within his throat, the creme guard hairs of his pelt raised slightly- and when Hush made to move past him and out into the world above, he almost stepped in her way. Almost. What stopped him was a voice calling out softly to them, namely Hush, and using her name at that. He was still weary, but when she visibly relaxed and smiled back at the pale boy, he felt himself relaxing, if only slightly.
She went to him, and Sen could not help but feel a twang of something within his chest. Jealousy? Concern? It was obvious Hush knew this stranger wolf, but he did not. And that made him uncertain. But when she turned her dazzling smiling back on him, introducing him first, and then the stranger- this Coszcotl, he felt his own smile melt across his handsome muzzle. He trusted her completely and utterly, and she seemed more than relaxed with this Coza figure, and so Sen did as well. Taking a few steps forward, but hanging back as he was rather unwilling to leave the newborn pups unattended, he dipped his muzzle down low in a brief greeting, his violet gaze roaming up to meet with the other males own. "Any friend of Hush's is a friend of mine. It is a pleasure, Coszcotl."
