Some are born great
Some achieve greatness

Even the darkness of the cavern held no relief for them from the heat emanating from their own bodies. Not that he was complaining of course, he could not have imagined anything better than he had just experienced. But he was not the only one to have partaken in the intimate series of events that had just occurred, and partially because he was the typical brute and wanted to know if he had performed well, but more so because he cared about his mate and want to ensure that he had taken good care of her and not injured her, he had asked about the experience. The response was exactly what he had hoped for. A slow smile grew on her lips as she turned to look at him, before she planted a kiss on his cheek tenderly.
' as long as it's you I'm with, it will always be perfect.'
Vladimir smiled back at her, his bright azures twinkling as he returned the kiss also, his tongue smoothing down the hairs that were out of place on top of her head. His front leg slid over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, and even though it only tightened the gap between them 1 inch, it made all the difference. Together, the two laid like that four minutes, perhaps hours. Vladimir lost track of time, and could not remember the last time that he was so content. But of course, nothing could stay like that forever. At one point, his shades had closed, and the prince open them now only to see her aura swirling. Her mind was ticking away, thinking about an unknown question she had yet to ask. What that question was… He had no idea. But he was wondering more white she had not asked yet. And then, she did.
' how… How do you feel about pups?'
Vladimir gulped - that have been one of the concerns that had been on his mind prior to them… Doing the deed. They were young, and out of season. The chances, the likelihood, of them getting pregnant or extremely low. Wolves in general or seasonal breeders, and though they were partway through fall, they were still nowhere near winter. And the chance that he was fertile yet? And the chance that she was fertile yet? The probability was exponentially low… But still… And then his head shot up. Why was she asking that question? Did she know she was pregnant already? Is that… How it worked? Immediately after having sex, could a female sense whether she had a baby growing inside her? And… How long did babies take to grow? What if she had the pups while she was still a teenager? What would happen to her? Would did she die? He wanted pups with her eventually, but not if she was going to die from them! " I… Am… Um..." Vladimir tried to spew out some sort of intelligible sentence, but she beat him to the punch first.
' not that I'm implying anything! I'm just… Curious.'
His glowing eyes grew brighter as he focused on her and her aura. She still looked… Uncomfortable about something. But whether it was the conversation they were already stuck in that was awkward, or something else, he couldn't tell. But at the very least, he did not see any other souls swirling around in her belly. He exhale deeply, a sigh of relief. " honestly? I feel that we are practically still pups ourselves. There is so much in the world we do not know, so much we have yet to experience… I want to make a family with you… Someday. Not necessarily today. But whenever we are blessed with babies, of course I will except them and love them-half of them will be you, and anything that was even one 100th of you I would love. I just don't think we are in the best place or position to be having them right now. I mean, I am young, and you are young. Don't go and freaked out and think that I'm saying I want to be with other people, I don't. You are the only one for me, and there will never be anyone else. My concern is… What if they are too big for you right now. What if you were to get hurt or injured. You are my soulmate… And if you were to die giving birth to our pups… You would rip my soul in half and destroy it utterly. And I worry that I would resent the pups forever coming to be if their life meant your death. But… When we are older, and fully grown… There is nothing that I would love more than to have babies upon babies upon babies with you." each time that he said the word 'babies', he paused and left a kiss on her cheek. The naïve part of him didn't realize that it would take a few days for his gametes to fertilize her eggs. He had a false sense of security right now, thinking that since he saw no New souls with and her, that she was not pregnant. But for now, at least they had the comfort of each other, and the piece that came with knowing that they had been made for each other.
Vladimir looped his neck over hers, and squeezed briefly before releasing her and slowly untangling himself from her. He rose, and began to stroll around the mouth of the cave. They had already explored One of the tunnels, and it had collapsed behind them. Time will allow them to explore all aspects of their new home. For this really was their new home. He turned back toward her, excited and playful, as if they had not just done the most adult an intimate thing they could have done. He left toward her in a play bow, his thick tail wagging furiously above his room. " so then! This is our new home! We should decorate it, shouldn't we? Since it is rather large… And we didn't dig it out ourselves? We need to make it unique, we need to personalize it and make it our own. With the fertile soil outside I bet we could make a garden if you wanted… Or maybe we can go and find some more of those glow worms and see if we can get them to live in this part of the cave? What do you think?"
OOC - I was thinking that maybe they decorate or whatever, and then we have a skip ahead to few weeks and game time to catch up with the seasons and he realizes that she has more souls with in her than just her own? And realizes she's pregnant? And freaks out a wee bit?
