i want that, too, milan, he said, then, pressing into her pelt, hanging his chin over her back, breathing her in. to live with her, be with her, under the moon and the sun and the rain and the snow. no 'meeting on neutral ground' or awkward escorts. just being themselves in a shared space, without the sneaking around.

but he shook his head then, pressing closer, as if she may vanish into thin air at any moment. like this was a dream that he would wake up from before he could see the ending ; a dream that would disappear all too soon. but theres something going on with swiftcurrent's allies. @Akavir told me about a band of rogue wolves who hurt a kid, and he needs people who will go on patrol to keep an eye out ; i was chosen.

i can't leave yet — i have this duty, and i still need to find adrian. i'm sorry, milan. but he took a breath, then, and moved away so that he could look at her. it isn't a full-time patrol, i'm on the first round, and then they'll send someone else out. i will be here with you soon. and he would rub her nose against her cheek.

we will have our peaceful live — together.
