The brain told the heart to settle but it did not listen as it beat wildly inside of Gaia's chest as she gazed down at her imprint. It saddened the russet wolfess how little she knew about the young wolf who had bound himself to her. Even when they had lived in the same pack she hadn't really spent any time with the boy. But now that she was free again perhaps it was time to lean who he really was and what he actually meant to her. He moved towards her with his tail wagging happily behind him and she remained still as he checked her. It felt nice when he pressed his nose into her fur and she took a moment to lick his ear fondly and offer a soft whimper in greeting. Had she done something wrong? Why had he moved away? Was it her legs? She had always been so self-conscious about her disability that it was always on the forefront of her mind.

When he spoke, her heart skipped a beat. Is this how Dad felt every time Mom talked? Rhae had tried to explain what it felt like to find your imprint but at the time the child had been too busy trying to catch butterflies or frogs to pay too much attention. Not that it was something that could be taught. A wolf had to make their own choices when it came to imprinting. Zaqar could be anything she needed him to be. And right now she just needed a friend. After all, she was still too young to truly understand the power of love and lust.

"I have missed you too. How have you been? Are things okay in Iromar... Oh. I am sorry I left without saying anything." she said, taking a few steps closer so she could look into his beautiful, lilac eyes. How could she tell him that she had to leave because she didn't feel totally safe within the swamp pack? Not only did she have a weakness that made her useless but she had also discovered that her parents were enemies of Iromar! Thinking her own life could be forfeit for any crimes her sire and dame had done, the child left without any notice to become a loner once again.

Ocean blue and mud brown colored eyes gazed at the demon prince and a soft smile spread across her face. "Have you ever explored these caves before? I wonder what's inside this one." Wanting to change the subject, the little wolfess brushed up against Zaqar for a moment before moving deeper into the cave. Perhaps they could go on a little adventure together as they slowly started to learn about one another.
