Eldritch interrupted her. She almost tripped over herself as she played and padded around him. Instead, she moved up to him, took a chance, and pressed herself against him. You - Edrick- was a King. A king of the fairies, ruler of spirits. You defended them against monsters are creatures of darkness. she stepped aside, her face flickering for just a moment. She knew, could feel in her heart of hearts he was him. He was Edrick, somewhere she was determined to find him again. He was the King of my heart, and I his Queen. Taika held the treasure of the memory in herself for a moment, enjoying the warmth it brought her.

Taika’s crackled eyes watched him and shined as they did. Yes, he was gruff, but it was clear he was trying. He was reaching for something just beyond his grasp, desiring to see something he could not. There was a power in the desire to see something that may or may not be there and believe it could bring joy to a spirit. It was the magic she tried to fill her life with only it was found in the most surprising of places. Eldritch was the shadow that yearned to be a light when he did not know what it mean or how to be it. She could see it in his awkward attempt as a smile, and more at his try at being chivalrous. He was commendable, knoble. I don’t think I have had fox before, but I would be interested to try. Movement constantly playful she easily fell into step beside him to follow him wherever he was to take her.

His question caused her to take a deep breath. As much as she loved to hold the memories, they were at times still painful. Speaking of them in the light of a fantasy was so much easier. I remember walking through the freelands with him. We would go on adventures together, protecting spirits from shadows, chasing light that bounced off the rippled of the streams. He was noble and sweet. But also jealous, while still being caring, forgiving, and understanding. He had an Imprint, and it crushed us both. Her head hang slightly, ashamed in herself for the actions of her past. Neverland had been my best friend, but I had been so upset when fate tied them together. It was also that night I met Los… Ears drooped a little, as did the bounce in her step and the lift of her tail. It had been a hard time in their lives, but a memory she felt needed to be said. Their lives had not been all butterflies and fantasies. Together they had struggled and they had lived. They had tried to be what each other needed and show their love between them with an understanding of who each other was. Still, we curled up with each other even after that and kept each other warm in the winter. We knew what we were and what our Imprints were. Then Neverland vanished. And Edrick went to look for his family… She sighed. He had left when she had been pregnent, both of them hoping he would return when the pups were born. Now they were growing and wild, while she was still waiting, still loving. Gaze shifted to Eldritch. Still hoping and believing.
