Thank you, Maddy! This thread was just *chef's kiss* perfect! I'm good with a fade!

Sumac chuckled again, "Thank you for choosing me, too." The warmth that radiated from him was unlike anything he'd ever felt before - he wished he could hold onto the feeling forever. He tucked it securely in his memory for the inevitable darker times, when remembering the light in Raindrop's eyes at this moment would sustain him.

His tail easily swaying in a pendulum fashion behind him, easy steps carried him beside her, across the sands to where their future awaited.
