His sudden movement away from her body pulled the sad female out of her own emotions. Had she done something wrong? Would he leave her, now that she'd shown weakness? On the inside, she ached ever more at the idea she'd scared him away. Within the skulled confines of her kingdom, she wouldn't have been so open. She simply assumed, as her handsome wolfdog was so gentle, that he might not mind her tears. Apparently, she was wrong.
Caillen surprised her, however, but resting one large hand against her maw so as to tilt her gaze toward him. He was...concerned? Oh yes, the giant was concerned. A dangerous claw swept a single tear from his princess' russet cheek as she wondered in silence what good she had done to deserve such a charming saviour. Neither her brother nor father had ever showed such pure desire to keep their dark kin happy. Ezekiel had chased her across Nova Scotia. Gabriel had been a rock to turn to. Yet it was a wolfish outsider who gave her the most joy.
He hadn't upset her, though he worried that he may have. Auburn locks tossed about her shoulders, giving strange contrast to the once-beautiful blue scarf draped about her shoulders. "No, of course not," she offered. Any trace of the bitter woman she was during the daytime escaped her voice, leaving the innocence of a child in its wake. Her hands reached for his. Something burned within her chest, words she knew she would forever be incapable of speaking branding her heart. If she had felt distaste for couples in the past, it was lost in the arms of the Winters man. The world slowed in his presence.
As he requested of her, a smile broke through rainclouds. "I'm just so very happy to see you again." Talitha did not want him to feel distress over prior sorrow; it was merely overwhelming joy, after all, and he was the source and cause.
