- Naniko D'Angelo - 03-12-2008 [html] Naniko was very, very happy that Conri had found his way back home. She didn’t know…if it had been her in that kind of a position, she didn’t know if she would have been able to do that. To live through everything that had happened and then come back to face wolves that might not have accepted her back. She hated leaving Clouded Tears for long periods of time, and could imagine how he’d felt, stuck somewhere, in pain, away from her and from the pack. Lately she had been keeping busy during the day, for more reason than one. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be around him—quite the opposite. But whenever she was around him, she felt something that she hadn’t felt in a long time. Helpless. She wanted to be able to magically fix everything for him, to make him feel better, but she couldn’t. She was used to being able to heal everyone that came to her door…but she didn’t know how to heal emotional injuries. And that frustrated her sometimes. Her breathing came in steady movements as she lay there, caught in a deep sleep. She was a fairly heavy sleeper, something that had benefited her since Conri had returned. He often woke up with nightmares, memories of the past. She’d read about a certain disorder, one that involved stress and recurrent dreams after a traumatic event…Post Traumatic Stress disorder. Maybe that was what was wrong. But the book hadn’t said what to do about it. Most of the time she tried to settle him down, which wasn’t an easy job, then got him back to sleep.The white wolf had chosen to sleep in her wolf form, as she didn’t have a lot of herb-work to do the next day. She enjoyed her four legged form better, most of the time, unless she really needed the hands. At the first nudge to her side she woke briefly, then fell back asleep almost immediately. But then it came again. And again. She opened one eye, trying to see what was going on in the half darkness of the den. Conri? She began to shift, changing into her werewolf form as soon as she realized what was happening. She grabbed a hold of his shoulders, shaking him a little. ”Conri—you must wake up!” - Conri Church - 03-12-2008 [html]
- Naniko D'Angelo - 03-12-2008 [html] Psh. x3 She'd been hoping that the nightmare he'd had the last time, a few nights before, was going to be the last one. She had made sure that he was peacefully sleeping before she had fallen back into her own slumber. Naniko worried about what he saw in the dreams...they had to be horrific. "I'm here. It's okay" Even though things were obviously /not/ okay, that seemed like the right thing to say. To try and reassure him that he was safe. She didn't plan on letting him go any time soon, for any reason. Last time he had been torn away from her...that wouldn't happen again. And then his eyes were open, searching around the place wildly. It seemed that his body was still caught up in the scenes from the dream he had been having--his hand tightened on her arm, squeezing...harder and harder. And just when she thought that she was going to have to yank herself away from him, when the pain became too much, it stopped. She opened her eyes slowly, unclenching her teeth. Her ears went down when she saw his expression. She shouldn't have shown that it had hurt--he looked really upset about what had happened. She opened her mouth to try and answer, but he was already apologizing. She couldn't stand to hear him say it, for him to think that it'd been his fault, when it hadn't. "No, it--" He apologized again. "Listen to me, would you?! This isn't your fault! You don't have anything to apologize for, so stop worrying about me so much. You should spend that time worrying about yourself, Conri. It would make me glad to see you happier." The snow-colored werewolf sighed, then submitted, following him down onto the furs, resting her head on his chest. She felt him breathing, could hear the flow of air. In, out, in out. Didn't he see it? The thing that she wanted most of all, more than anything in the world, was to see him smile again. She did miss how things used to be...but now she was realizing that things wouldn't ever be the same again. Could she get used to things the way they would be now? She waited a few more breaths until she spoke again, when his breathing had slowed down a little. "I want to make things better for you so much..I just want you to be happy. So please...don't worry about me" - Conri Church - 03-12-2008 [html]
- Naniko D'Angelo - 03-15-2008 [html] I sort of imagine Naniko's voice to be like Kiara from The Lion King 2. o_o Sometimes Naniko wondered if she saw people differently than others did. She was used to trying to interpret speech that came from the lower creatures, like birds and rabbits...it took a lot of work. She had to look at their body language, what expression they had, and their tone of voice. Subconsiously, even when she was having a conversation with another werewolf, she was in tune with these aspects of the exchange. Maybe it was small hints like that that cued her reasoning. She had changed since before, since back then. Most everyone in her life had left, or been taken away...and she'd had to fend for herself for a while. Lucifer had helped when her leg had been all mangled, bringing her food and company, but he hadn't done any more than that...he had gone home each night. She had wondered back then if Conri would come back, but most of those wonderings had been dismissed rather quickly after the first couple of months had gone by. She'd hoped, prayed for it. But after a while, she'd had to give up...or face holding onto those sad feelings. His breathing was becoming more even--he seemed to be calming down. "I'm happy too...now. I was sad for a while...but now I don't have to worry any more either" They were meant to be together. That's what this had shown. The more she thought about it, the more agreed with it and believed it. The Gods had brought them back together, despite seemingly impossible odds. She let him lift her chin, not protesting against the action. She looked down for a moment, then up at him. She wanted, needed him to know how she felt. There was nobody else out there for her. He was the one. Maybe she had needed some time to figure it out again...but now she was more sure of it than ever. "I love you too." She hadn't been expecting the kiss, and her eyebrows raised when he pulled back. The act, however small it had been, made her heart race. She leaned toward him, placing a soft lick on his cheek, one that led down the length of his muzzle, mussing his fur up a little bit. - Conri Church - 03-16-2008 [html]
- Naniko D'Angelo - 03-21-2008 [html] Did you get my PM back? :3 She didn't think of him any differently, even though his leg was missing. If anything, she was even happier to see him again. Even he'd lost his leg, the rest of him was still intact...and was here, with her. She was upset that he'd had to lose it, but she was still a bit selfish about it--just glad that he had returned. They had already gone through a lot together...and that proved it more than anything else. What else could happen to them that they wouldn't be able to handle now? Low on food? Somebody gets sick? They'd already gone through that, more than once. His words made her feel light, full of even more joy than before...if that was possible. "I don't know what to say.." And then she didn't have to say anything. He took control of the situation, and before she realized what he was doing to do he was already doing it, kissing her over and over again. Her entire body flooded with warmth, her heartbeat quickening. She leaned into it a little, welcoming it, moving her body in ways to make it easier for him to kiss her wherever he wanted. She leaned her head against his shoulder, wrapping arm around him to help stabilize him and keep him balanced. She was seeing a new side of him, one that she'd only seen once or twice before...but a side that she was definitely open to. |
