Larksong Grotto the sun dog

Their lives hadn't been easy since they departed the ridge, but Terich was happy to have Vuk to share it with. Even now, after being evicted from Reek's den after his generous hospitality, Terich felt that their lives were better here than they ever were at the ridge. He was spending time with Seff - rather, he was watching over the babe as he slept - when Vuk arrived with her fishy gift. Terich smiled warmly at her as she approached, and although they had shared moments of affection from time to time, he had not expected the kiss she planted on his cheek. 

Terich nosed the fish toward her and nuzzled her cheek softly before pulling back. You should eat. You and Seff need the nutrients. He wasn't trying to be valiant; Terich was a practical man. He could fish for himself if needed. He wanted them to thrive far more than he needed the sustenance, at least for right now. He was skinny, skinnier than he'd been in years, but he could pass up the fish for her.
