Moonspear How long have I been on the hunt for you?

Pre-Speedy/Zafina thread! @Dirge

 

Dirge did not leave Hydra (though she did not seem to begrudge him this). Each morning, evening, and night, the flame that would not be put out without him burned. For a little while, he was able to smolder it so that the overwhelming feeling of it would not destroy everything else in her wake. Such had just occurred, and they rest in the upper reaches of Moonspear. Hydra let herself lay and rest for a time; she had been active in the packlands, making sure no other women got any wicked ideas to take what was hers—

What was hers? 

Her gaze shifted toward her handsome, tawny companion. Her mate, devilish knave that he was. She smiled to him, sighing; why had she waited so long for this? The days felt like minutes in the ways that they spent it, seldom apart. But it had been worth it, she felt. By the look on his face, it seemed as though that wait had been forgotten. 

Would you rather sons, she asked, very much so wanting them, or daughters? She finished, tail thumping against the earth.
