Both Filius and Mizuki were awe-stricken when I did such a childish display. It did,
however, bring Filius some speck of happiness. As I whispered to him my intentions
,an unexpected action the sire committed, his muzzle met my neck. My ice blues
widened to this and I tensed up slightly, but as soon as he spoke my muscles
settled down. 'We are going to do exactly what you want to do. We’re going to run
through the forest, all three of us, and catch the biggest moose you can imagine,
with antlers so big he could fit a badger in one and so much meat on him that we
wouldn’t be able to move for how full we were. You wouldn’t have to worry about
me catching up because I’ll be the one leading, and afterwards we could go
swimming in the lake just like we always see the young wolves do. If we race, I
promise to let you win, because we both know I’m a fantastic swimmer.' He was
speaking of a time I know will never come.
Somehow, my frozen heart started to pump, happy? I haven't felt this in awhile
myself, besides when I'm biting something. Amusement, yes; malice, of course; a
deep lust for blood, that was my nature, what I survived on. Happiness, sorrow, an
odd bliss, none of it. I thought it had died long ago. Died with my younger self,
when I was naive about the world. I sat silently with my scarlet dipped audits posted
forward. Listening to every word he said. His tone was as if he was remembering a
dear memory.
'And after we dry in the setting sun with the peepers singing to us we’ll come back
to this cave and we’ll sleep in one giant heap, and it won’t matter who’s on the
bottom because none of us ever have nightmares or worry about getting hurt or sick
because we’re so entirely alive.' Filius' voice was cracking, shaking, full of emotion.
I looked at his earthy hued orbs a bit concerned, but it vanished when he spoke
again. 'Thank you.' My face softened, I could feel it, but I couldn't help it. A gentle
smile graced my features and for the first time I felt my actions went to a better use.
Yes, sire, it will be done..Gentle, I
was being gentle. I was also causing feelings that weren't negative, how's that
possible? At the most I'd thought he'd laugh at me for being an idiot, but he didn't.
He thanked me. Speechless. I'm speechless for the first time, a snake woman
known for her silver tongue and vile ways, became vocally useless. Oh goodness
Hestia, get over it, remember. You are ice. You will only kill. These words, passed to
me by my master, rung in my ears. Quietly my paws settled along the ground as I
went to sit close to Filius.
Gently my tongue caressed his forehead and a smile that was somewhat reinforced
with my normal air, crossed my mouth. You are very welcome--
sire. Don't get attached, he will leave this awful world soon. This one
rule rolled around my head and I set my gaze to Mizuki. So,
dear Mizuki, how was your rest?This soft atmosphere was making me
twitch slightly. My legs were doing it all on there own and I couldn't stop it. Please
don't notice.
