Dragoncrest Cliffs this is a modern fairy tale

Njord felt Meerkat possessed many years of wisdom beyond her age. Could he ever have that? The clarity? The self-awareness? It was part of what made her so precious to Njord. He knew the rarity of these traits and cherished them.

Meerkat touched him. Njord perceived her subtle shift. Welcomed it.

Fear and panic were such foreign mindsets that it was easy to lean into the familiar feeling of closeness and intimacy. To be one with her again. To shut out the world and build a bubble for a moment of respite.

Words were put to emotions. Njord managed a rumble of agreement in response. He nibbled the hair on his wife’s cheek as she ran her paws across his winter fur. She stood and he would follow – to give his paramour whatever she desired.
