Blacktail Deer Plateau Your skin makes me cry

The reunion of the family had been bittersweet--or so Rachel is assuming, since she really dropped the ball lately and it hasn't been played out (I'M SORRY GUYS). Akavir's relief had been instant the moment his cream-kissed wife and beautiful daughter had been found. He had tried to keep the outlook as positive as possible, if only for the sake of Arielle, and so when their hopes had become real, the inky wolf remained unequivically grateful to whatever spirit chose to watch over his family.

So when the cool air lured him from his sleep and he realized he was alone, the man jolted with a start, barely blinking past the sleep from his eyes as he made to find his family, staggering toward them with a cool but thankful gaze when he found all three of them--safe. Together.

Finally, they were together.

Rumbling a greeting with a sleepy growl, the man brushed against his mate, her scent instantly soothing him--his broad muzzle tipping down to brush across the crowns of both daughters in a good morning kiss.
