Ouroboros Spine wolf-father, at the door

how fiercely kivaluk wishes that it didn't have to be enough for her! that she could've known their mother in true ... but it brings to question whether kivaluk truly knew her himself. he thought he had, but the truth was not so stable as that.

he inhales deeply and lets it out in a heavier sigh.

missed you too, 'lana. he murmurs, glad that he had her back ... for however long she intended to stay. she was old enough now that she was free to make those choices for herself. selfishly, kivaluk wishes she would stay, but not so selfishly that he does not cherish these moments here and now.
