 Once upon a time, their relationship had been simple. Before the war. Before Nyimara. Before... he had abandoned them. And now it was constantly on the rocks - he avoided her as she avoided him. What would he say? How many times would they appologize to each other? Yet, continue to fracture what was left of their tattered friendship. But if he were to admit outloud - he was afraid. He was afraid of losing her. He was afraid that there would come a day where she wouldn't need him anymore. And this fear haunted him, it left him exposed and hating himself for all that had happened to her. "I… I haven't always been fair to you." the words are just a whisper, barely audible above the wind that breathes through the dark pines. He flicks a single ear to her as she presses on. I used to blame you for- for, well, a lot of things that were not your fault." her words surprise him. His glacial eyes are drawn to hers but she does not bring her gaze to meet his. He opens his mouth to speak - but the words escape him - so his lips gently close as he tries to piece together all that she confesses. "I blamed myself too," he pauses as he shifts his gaze from her and into the pitch black night "I blamed myself for Nyimara coming for you. Aranck. All the pain that you indured... it is my fault. I couldn't protect you from them." the last words are just a whiper on his whiskered lips. If he could of taken her place - he would have - he would of taken their abuse, both emotional and physical. The silence spans between them. He shifts his weight from hoof to hoof as he tries to invoke the courage that now evades him. "I'm glad you have Tigerlily." her voice is faint. "You're good for each other." With a sigh he draws his glacial eyes back to find her eyes - full of sadness. His Queen had been there, she had breathed strength into him. And helped him find himself once again. She had been his rock. "She has been there since the beginning and has seen the worst in me... has pieced the broken pieces back together, breathed her life into my bones." he nods gently as his glacial eyes drift to the distant dark pine. For a moment the silence spreads between them until finally he draws a ragged breath across his lips. "Sio," he whispers her name "My love for you has never faltered. I have only ever wanted the best for you, and now we have a gift - a gift of a second chance to mend the tattered pieces of our once love. Why do you push me away?" he asks gently as his glacial eyes are drawn to hers. Bera Konung of the Inlet Icelandic Mutt // 15 years old // 14.2 hh // Grullo Sabino // Stallion // Dogun x Freya |
