Hoshor Plains A hunting we will go

Dakarai closed his eyes as she nuzzled under his chin, the gesture both simultaneously making him ache and warming his heart all at once. He released a slow sigh and opened his eyes again, this time they were filled with regret. Oh how he wished that he could simply run off with her into the distance and forget everything else that had happened, but he knew that was not possible. He had to locate his three children and at least try and find Olive again.

Then she joked again but the sadness and heaviness in the air hadn't left them and it came to a stop just as soon as it had begun. She asked if he had to leave and the way she spoke, he knew that she understood that he truly did. He slowly stood up but never tore his gaze from her face. Those eyes...so warm and brown that revealed so much yet kept many things hidden. His eyes warmed a bit but he nodded "I do... I have things to say and apologize for. I at least need to try.." he whispered. Slowly his eyes travelled her body, memorizing every detail before returning to her face. "I won't forget you. leanfaidh tú i mo chroí agus in intinn." He spoke the irish naturally and as the words flowed out he knew them to be true. He'd never forget her. "Maybe we'll meet again if the stars write it in our future." He said this yearningly,sending a silent prayer that he'd see this woman again. At that he stepped closer and pressed his muzzle to the top of her head, breathing in her scent before forcing himself away from her. Before he could change his mind he turned and ran. don't look back...don't look back...don't look back the thought ran through his mind. If he turned back there would be no search for his children. Despite the desire to so anyway he pushed on and disappeared from view.

the Irish "You will remain in my heart and mind" 

Dakarai out! He'll see her soon though xD thank you for this beautiful thread.
