Ocean's Breath Plateau Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out

500 for u!

her breath was light on his fur, explorative. and chakliux smiled again, for he too was thinking of her in his arms, the sounds he had drawn from her.
"i have been hunting between the moon villages and helping ariadne to find a place for her own village,"
chakliux smoothed drying salt from marina's chin and wended her close, leading them both up from the sea. 
it was ironic in this moment; he did not know her falling heart and she did not know that by tending her lodge, hunting for her, minding her children, chakliux had positioned himself to be chosen.
but love; love in the way she might wish was a thing built for a man over several years, and chakliux was not made to be a man for one woman, nor would he expect it of his wives.
