Though she had removed herself from their warm embrace, she still had her heart linked to his. Her unwavering hazel stare seeked to fish out answers out of his chest, he was a quiet man by nature and the nature of their current situation had made her guard her heart away from the harm around her. She did not want to wake up to an empty den again, she did not want the sound of thunder to be her only company through the cold stormy nights. She wanted to hold hi, and to be held by him.
Finally, his lips pronounced the words she had been waiting so long to hear. A wave of relief flushed onto her back, stricking her with such force that made her knees shaka a little. Though the intense light shinning over both of their eyes was enough to assure the little child he would not go again, she was glad he fleshed such thoughts into words.
With her little tail still squirming in the air like a worm, she broke the small distance she had placed between them just a few seconds before, again melting into the safety of his arms. It was only then that the little Sveijarn was able to free her mind of the worries that had arrived just after her father's departure.
Even if there were still four more of her family members still out there in the cold, she felt at peace.
Now she could finally rest.
They'd be devoted to the roses together now.
