They weren’t so different really in terms of personality at least. Their lives had been vastly different yet here they were both curious creatures that were trying to understand the world in completely different ways. Time would give them both the answers they needed but right now they had each other to talk to and get to know. Her tail waed lightly as his own did, looking into his eyes that were really quite pretty. He was a good looking boy to be sure, but her heart and soul were both spoken for. She was unsettled in her ways, Lucero was still grieving the loss of his mother and it was soon discovered his father had been lost as well. She felt horrible for him and feared for the fate of her own parents once the time would inevitably come that she too would be losing her mother. It wasn’t about her, she knew that, but his father was healthy, had the loss of Rhae been so terrible that it literally had killed him?

There was so much to weigh on her mind, so much she could think about but she just wanted to enjoy the warm winter day. Soon enough spring would be here and soon enough she would get to meet the little bundle of joys that were inside of her. Of course Zeltzin would be excited and nervous, they were her children her and Lucero’s children. They would carrying on his family’s legacy she was certain as well as her own. Good lines to carry and ones to be proud of as well. She smiled slightly, her tail giving a few waves as her mind slowly turned from herself and back to the slightly younger boy that stood before her happy to have someone’s company even if she didn’t know them well. Perhaps she took after her father in that, he seemed to do wonderful in all sorts of company and she did as well. As she speaks to him she notices the look on his face become intense as if concentrating. It confused her at first, but she knows something is more different about him something that goes beyond the surface and she desires to understand.

His first words begin to make it click. The loud drawn out words so easy to tell that maybe, while he spoke slowly that his mind was sharp. He couldn’t hear, something that came flooding back into her mind as he gave his name. She knew exactly who he was. How couldn’t she? Her mother had been at the birth had tended to Zeteri and the pups and in time found out that they had some of the most basic things robbed from them. Speech and hearing. Zeltzin thought she could do without talking, actions spoke louder than words after all, but hearing? She felt bad for him and felt bad for forgetting him. She had never met him before, though she had his sister a time or two.

”I am really sorry, Yoska! I know who you are, we never met face to face, but I heard a lot about you-“ She cut herself off as she realized what she had said looking sheepish before giving another apologetic smile before shutting herself up for the moment. ”I am sorry, you are Tuari’s brother, yes?” She spoke a little more slowly this time, obviously he could understand her speaking if he was able to reply and she was more than happy to slow down to make it a bit easier for him. What was more was what he continued to say looking her dead straight into her own fiery colored orbs leaving her to blink in bemusement before embarrassment fell over her.

He could tell she was lonely? Was it that obvious? But what was more she watched as his hazel eyes moved to her stomach and at that she grew a little self-conscious, sitting up so that her sides didn’t bulge out so much and shifting slightly. ”Well… um.. no you’re here now, it’s nice to have good company.” She says happy that maybe her tones, sounding guilty and embarrassed as she was not capable of reaching his ears. Though like her father she was hardly good at hiding it from her features. Was that obvious too? Or because of his deafness was he more keen to noticing such things. He seemed playful if not friendly about it and she wasn’t entirely sure why she was embarrassed about it, maybe it was because they were not mates, officially at least and that her parents were together. They were happy though, not upset but perhaps it was because she was a little upset herself that maybe it was because Lucero wasn’t around to experience this happiness in his grief.

”I guess your right tough, I won’t be able to be alone for quite some time I think.” She says trying to giggle though really she wondered about it all. Would he come back in time? Should she try harder to find him? She continued frowning slightly but then looked back up to the brown almost adult boy before giving another smile and a reassuring wave of her tail. Zeltzin couldn’t be that sad, she had so much to look forward too, but her worries still weighed so heavily upon her.
