It was a relief to hear her companion promising to never walk out on her again. Rivet would definitely work hard to make sure that promise was kept because she did not want to go through what she’d been going through the last several days all over again. Though she was hot headed and stubborn, there was no doubt in her mind that she cared very, very deeply for her larger companion. “Good because I wouldn’t want to have to hunt you down and hurt you if you leave me again,” she growled, though there was a playful note in her voice, which was followed by a light nip to Turq’s nose.
It was hard to not allow herself to move with Turq when she shifted so that they could see each other better, but she remained in place. She was sincerely glad that she’d ended up happening upon Turquoise when she did, though she would never know about the choices her lover had been contemplating. “I’d kind of like to see around this area at least a little more,” she answered, casting a glance toward the lake beside them. “We could look into whatever packs are around the area. If we like one of them, we could join it.”
