[ooc: Hey, hope you don't mind the slight powerplay when she wakes, Honey. Also needs the task assigned]
That morning, Siku awoke with a start and a light gasp. She had forgotten that she made it back to Ichika, and it all felt like a groggy dream until she noticed the warmth of another body pressed against her. Delight and desire enveloped her body, and Siku turned her head to nuzzle Saul affectionately. She knew he was an early riser, he tended to wake up earlier than everyone else. Waiting for his response, Siku curled in closer and simply enjoyed the feel of his body close to hers. She took a moment to recall all that had happened the night before, their emotional reunion and his confusingly distant reaction at first. Siku worried frequently about how everyone would react before she returned, but over all Saul's greeting at the border was not as hostile as she had expected. He was wary, of course, but his soft heart prevented him from giving her too much trouble. This had slipped right over Siku's head last night, but now she wondered about it. Would all of Ichika reject her but Saul? Would they hate her for running away?
Siku turned over, facing the object of her affections with a look of concern. Hoping he was awake, she whispered very softly. "Saul.... Will the rest of the pack have a grudge against me?" She was almost afraid to ask him, so animated were the visions in her head of angry pack members. Her over active imagination was getting the best of her already and she had just woken up! The white wolf seemed to spill over with energy when the man next to her was near.
Though she knew she was supposed to do something to prove her worth in Ichika once more, Siku did not know she was to have a task assigned. Golden eyes stared blankly at Saul as she took his hand in hers, squeezing it tightly. She would never grow tired of his presence. Siku felt she belonged here; with him, more than anywhere else in the world. Even if she had to swim to the very bottom of a lake and then climb the tallest tree in Ichika she honestly would quite happily. Siku just wished she had never abandoned him the way she did. There was no way he was completely okay with it yet. Why would anyone else be? She asked herself this often.
