Her storm--once raging under skin-- gave way, allowing sun to peek through as his paw came to cover hers, the warmth of it a welcome scald, one that matched the burning in her veins. She did not mention her visit to the Altar, and the words she spoke to Callyope, but she felt them now.
"I cannot--will not--replace what’s been lost. His love for you is eternal. It will never fade. Yet... I burn for him too. I burn the way lightning ignites dry wood--sudden and consuming. I am but a moth to his flame. The tides that worship his moon. And I would follow his light, because I know... he would guide me home."
The winds cried out songs of old as they encircled the two, both suspended in gentle touches and eyes searching. However, no sooner did the words leave his lips that she came undone. She did not crumble, no--it was a slow melting, a letting go of what had been to now gaze upon what could be.
And, what could be stood before her now, accepting her touch and whispering words she dared not to wish. Sunstone eyes watered with emotion, yet a smile formed, bright, crinkling the corners of her eyes. A gentle laugh of warbly disbelief escaped her.
Her other paw came up to mirror the other, his face held in her palms. She drew him closer to hers, only stopping enough to where they were just barely touching, giving him the grace of choice, and whispered,

If I am to bleed, then so be it.
