He sat down next to her, and she was rewarded with a slight smile from him. A low gust of wind blew by, rolling through Steph's fur, and causing her to shiver. She shook herself slightly, trying to get her fur to go back to its resting place and to shield her from more of the chilly wind.

She tried not to frown when he spoke of Cebra, but it was hard. Steph hadn't been especially close to her, but she was still family, and she and Mawk had been mates. Her expression took on an understanding look. I've never felt a loss like yours, she admitted. But, I imagine it is terribly difficult to lose someone you gave your heart to, she said softly. She had no knowledge of what had transpired between the mates, or that Mawk was caring around the heavy burden of guilt. Steph wasn't usually very touchy-feely, except with her mother and siblings, but now she reached her maw out to touch Mawk's. Should he move away from the touch, Steph would retreat as well. It was meant as an attempt to comfort him.
