Her retort brought about a rolling of his eyes and a shift of the calf corpse on his shoulder, but no words — why argue? It was pointless to argue with a leader, more so with a female leader and even more still with a female leader in the family way. An affirmative grunt was all she received as she reached to smack his side before leading him to the comfort of her den. His attention shifted from her to his surroundings as they entered — had he ever been in her den before? — but his ears remained open to her. The sound of objects moving was clear, and then her voice and all he gave in response was a blood-spraying huff and the thud of the corpse as he dropped it again upon the ground.
A sigh brought him back to facing her, watching the mix of firey orange dance across her white fur as she stood before her fire. When was he last alone with her? Before he'd followed to this place? Was it really so long? Memories blurred, mind focusing on the present rather than the past. She was still the beautiful woman he'd found while under the hands of the Tribunal, and the moment still evoked what faint emotions he retained for her as a person. Something in his chest tightened and he approached, forgetting the moose as he neared what used to be his lover. "I'm lucky, yes." The words were spoken with an unfamiliar tenderness, one hand reaching out in an attempt to brush against her cheek. She was right — without her help, he certainly would suffer some sort of distressing infection, his pride keeping him from seeking out a healer.
