Northstar Vale Happens sweet

She started to grow agitated and Yuudai attempted to shush her, to lull her back into a dream filled state that she had been in moments before. He wanted the calm and relaxed woman he had grown to love, not the shell she had become. "It's okay Reiko. You're doing you best." He truly did believe that. He knew the burden of leadership with a hard position to fill. She held a lot on her shoulders, and the pale man respected that. Understood it.

Yuu only spoke honestly, because he had never lied to her. She had to know that. So hopefully she might believe his words. "Everything will work out in time." He had to rely on this thought, on the dream that everything would resolve itself. He smiled at her again. They're was so much he wanted to talk about, so much he wanted to fix between them. But this wasn't the time, and Yuudai wasn't sure when the right time would be. But he took a slow step back. He had seen the pups and spoken to Reiko. He figured it was best to quiet while he was ahead.

Now that he believe these pups to be his, Yuudai knew he would be coming around more often. The sudden reminder instantly formed a lump in his chest, he would have to tell Hiromi. He assumed she knew that he had encountered Reiko while the two woman had been in heat. But he hadn't actually admitted it to her. Would she be angry? With that in mind, it was definitely time to leave. As slowly turned back to the entrance he cast one last lavender gaze on the snowy Empress, "I'll see you later Reiko."

She watched him go with a quickly drooping gaze. Her lids closing for longer and longer periods of time between blinks. Mr. Sandman finally claimed her again. Both of them experiencing a dream. Just in slightly different ways.
