After blood had managed to well itself up in his throat to his mouth and be hacked up into the snow, he finally managed to get some good breaths again. His eyes never left the beautifil pale fur of his once mate. Once mate....yes They were no longer together but had he ever stopped loving her? No. Even when the love became tainted by pain and anger and guilt, he still loved her with his very soul. He knew this to be true as he moved his gaze higher and met her green eyes, so beautiful and the same as when they'd first met except now they were filled with grief. Another wave of guilt washed over him that their last meeting would be one to bring her grief and pain.
As she came next to him he moved his head in agonizing slowness to press his nose to her chest, breath in her scent. He found it mixed with the smell of puppy, milk and baby fluff that created a heady and relaxing aroma. Her last words were all he managed to snag as he zoned back in and he gave a low rumbling groan of affection, unable to help it. The sound brought another wave of choking and sputtering and for a moment he lay still, not breathing. Then he sucked in another shallow breath, feeling like he was already floating away toward the sky. "Live on till you're old Love. Raise your babies to be good and pure like you. Live a good life please...one that's good and free of any pain. And then..." his body convulsed again and his eyes closed. "And then when you're ready, join me in the stars" he murmured and gave her chest a weak lick, slipping away before his tongue could even slide back into his maw.
Whether it was the final activities of his brain or something spiritual, he stood above Olive looking down at her. His body was young again, free of scarring and strong. He smiled and leaned down, kissing the top of her head. "I'll wait for you Anthousai" he rumbled softly and then with a single thought he rose up to the heavens and was gone.
