Ouroboros Spine Belated Valentine's Gift

[size=small]Before the gentle prod of her mate's nose and the shivering that was produced by the cold sensation his touch left behind, Cara was sumerged in the most strange of dreams. While the memory of having laid down to rest under the flickering shadows casted by the clouds overhead was vague in her memory, it was somehow hard for her to recall if she was asleep or if in fact the images being projected before her eyes were real.
The lines and creases beneath his tired eyes was too real..
She had to be lucid.

But she wasn't.
With a strangled yip and a little jolt of surprise the Queen pulled herself from the floor only to find herself staring not at her father, Freud, but at the icy pools of another man, her mate.
Immediately after recognizing him a smile was brought to her face, curving her slightly messy post-nap appereance into one that was more pleasant, more inviting.

"Hello to you" she barked, her voice still drowsy and her mind briefly flashing back the image of her deceased father in the back of her mind, sending a pang of melancholy across her veins before her pale eyes shifted to the small heap that was the rabbit beside her feet.

"What's this, hmm?" she asked, genuinely amused, not to mention surprised, by the intricate designs of flowers the animal had woven around its neck.
Then with her head swinging back to Kaname she allowed her lips to raise over her gums to expose a bright smile that gave away her delight -- not only had his gesture managed to appeal to the Queen's eyes with the vibrant flowers but also, to her hungry stomach.
