Blacktail Deer Plateau With the lights down low

The idea that she was infallible was one Catori could only shake her head at, even giving a little exasperated roll of her eyes. "That knock to your head must have done more damage than we thought," She rumbled affectionately, preening a bit of fur behind the base of one of his ears. "I could disappoint you. Not that I'm planning on it, but, there's always that possibility. Maybe my hormones will change and make me smell bad. Maybe I'll wake up one day and just.....hate the color blue. Be sick of the sky itself. Maybe I get some weird skin infection and all my fur falls out and I look horrible without it." She could go on and on but it was clear she was playing - the message was true enough though. She might fail him in all sorts of ways, but, not the ways he feared. "Their loss. You have amazing children, Gray, and you aren't that bad yourself." She said with a little smile. 

She was still as he adjusted himself and once he was where he wanted to be she settled into his embrace happily. "I just...don't get it. I'm sure you've questioned it yourself but...how in the world do you walk away from your family? Not even yours specifically but...." She trailed off with a sigh, and she expected that it would never be a mystery they solved. "I'm not going anywhere. Even without our babies. I'm happy here. With you - with your kids, with the pack." Since the entire attack at the borders she'd been thinking about things even more. She hadn't really articulated things - caring more about making sure that Grayday was taken care of and that the kids were okay still and keeping their borders secure - it was endless and Catori was grateful for the distractions. 

"I'll never replace their mother and I don't want to - but seeing Lavender hurt....." She let out a shaky breath. "It was such an immediate response in me...I didn't even notice what happened to you at first." She admitted this, cuddled against him, and yet there was no remorse there.
