this night sky has me wishing for the light

It would not take very much convincing to bring Kamerisu to the conclusion that following Coza would be one of the more wise decisions she had made that night. He was a strong and handsome creature with a soft voice; many of the things she searched for when seeking out a companion. His promises of a beautiful home and welcoming family caused butterflies to rise in the pit of her belly, initiating the question of whether she was truly ready for this leap in her life again. She had once been in a home similar to what he described Taviora to be, a small pack of good-hearted souls that she had seemed to fit into rather well, she could only hope for as much with Coza’s home.

It was almost difficult to keep a comfortable pace and keep up with the steadily moving giant as they went along quietly, yet he was careful to check back with her every so often out of courtesy instilled within his own being. But she tried her best to keep at his heels through the darkness, her mind drifting to dark places as they entered new territory and the sounds of unfamiliar creatures echoed about them. Her ears pinned back at one point as she hurried towards his hindquarters, her vivid teal eyes searching about behind them both for any coming threat. She was far too fresh within Moladion to feel completely at ease when traveling into uncharted lands - even in the presence of strong and capable Coza.

Time had not passed by for too long before the scents of others were strong in the air, the male that lead her had his own odor marking strongly along the border that they now approached. She slowed herself as he now turned and stopped to speak with her, crossing over the territory line without hesitation before his thickly accented voice was sent to her. “Hm..” A hushed utterance of acknowledgement as she smiled anxiously and peered around them, taking in the details of what it was he called ‘home’, feeling more at ease as the moments passed them by. Yes, this was not as terrible as she first imagined it to be, Taviora was almost like her homeland. Almost.

He had paused for a moment as he allowed her to ingest all that was going on before the inevitable question was asked; what exactly was she feeling about Taviora? She took a long moment to ponder, not wanting to jump without reasoning into something so life-changing, until she was able to voice her opinion with at least a bit of confidence. “It feels.. Familiar. I would not mind learning more.” She dipped her head in respect before looking back up to him as his tail wagged in a welcoming manner. They had not been bombarded with curious pack mates as of yet, so perhaps Kamerisu could last this first night in the forest pack.

eight years - no paramour - no home!
