He does not enter the den right away, and she admires this about him- but out of anything and anyone, she would have him beside her. Inugami, and even the children of her past are overshadowed by what Fate has given the Demon and star touched wolf this day. And perhaps for all their days to come. For when he finally does enter her den, his blue eyes are for her and her- their- daughters only and there is a proud care and concern shining there. Vera does not know if Yojimbo loves her, just as she cannot say she loves him, but their bond is there all the same and they are each two halves of the same whole. Perhaps that is love, and she has just never known it before until now. Curious thoughts are curious, but the soft mewling at her belly as her turning attention to them. After she had asked him to name them, the titles he proceeds to procure for her have a smile caressing her wickedly beautiful features. They fit each one to a tee- first born Belhara, and second born Najira. They would be well approved in the Demon world, Najira with her base coat of chocolate instead of black, and her sisters silver lined belly would not be taken too kindly. But as it was, Vera knew that neither sister would ever be stepping foot in the homelands of Hell . If anything, they would reside within Iromar or another place within Moladion until their dying days, for truly this land is one most bountiful and plentiful with so very much to offer. And her children should truly be no other place, even if she is not. Bright though tired eyes turn to her Yojimbo after her meal, and just as she was about to speak to him softly again, a scent followed by a voice has her freezing. At first, a low, threatening growl is bubbling up from her throat for she does not immediately know this other, as they have never met, but barely a second passed before the Demon did infact realise who it was. Aithne, new Empress to Iromar, and one to be welcomed. Even in the face of her newborn children. The chocolate wolf at her side, however.. regardless of how weak she might be and the fact of just giving birth, she would put herself between the Demon and Yojimbo and give her life for him. Without even a seconds thought. But for now, he is safe and just beside her while Aithne lingers outside, undoubtedly just at the entrance to the den. Silence follows for several moments before her voice calls out, the tired tones all too obvious but there was curioisty and interest there as well. "Aithne, might I see the face that goes with the voice?" Perhaps it was unwise of her to invite the wolf into her den with her new children, but she knew Yoji was no hot head to jump up and attack. Her own black pitch fur along her spine was still on edge, but slowly was it lowering as she calmed her nerves. As far as she was aware, not that she looked too far into it- she was the only female in Iromar with pups this Spring, let alone any Demons- half breeds as they may be- and Aithne would undoubtedly wish to see them for herself. At least, that's how Vera figured it. And she herself wanted to see the wolf that Andras had so chosen, to know the face and body that went along with the voice and name. Vera did not think she would be disappointed, either. At a sudden thought, she is reaching over to Yojimbo to murmur her soft and gentle words for his ears and his ears alone. "She is new Empress to Iromar- she's going to want to know why a Diveen wolf is in her swamp unannounced." Expectant blue eyes gaze up at her imprint, though there is no concern or worry there. She had hoped that after this, perhaps, he would stay with her and they would be together with no more long absences inbetween. It was true she had come to Moladion with a mate at her side, but over the years he had gone on his way and so had she. To find her chocolate wolf and create the lives and perhaps the life they had just begun. |
