Hope you don't mind me tossing Clover in here! :3
Even before the sun had risen from behind the horizon, Clover was stretching long limbs and rising from her place of slumber. In the past few weeks, the girl had become intent on earning her place amongst her family of Salsola. It had been a little over four months since Sirius had enchanted her with his kingdom, and yet she still remained on the far edge of the family’s circle. She had come to realize she didn’t quite belong in Inferni, despite her name, and the last thing the coyote girl wanted was for Salsola to not feel like home. In fact, that was all the girl desperately wanted: a home.
So she made it a point to rise early, nimbly dressing in her usual denim and accessories before leaving behind her room in the Ruins. The short trek to Sirius’ chambers was quiet and dark, but the Lykoi did not mind. Her breath was soft, as were her footsteps, and she made sure she was in and out of his room before the first morning light fell upon the Salsolan kingdom.
With her quick morning duties complete, Clover aimed to trail back to her own room and prepare herself some tea from the herbs she had collected from the garden only days ago. Despite its ability to induce sleep, Clover figured a nice herbal tea steeped from lemon balm would be perfect for this cool morning. Before she made it back, however, she heard Bastion’s short call and decided to make a small detour. Her tea could wait, after all, and she would embrace the opportunity to strengthen the bonds with her developing family.
What’s that you’ve got there, love? Pale yellow eyes found the petite form of the male. Whereas Clover had the long, lean frame of a human super model, it seemed in comparison that Bastion was somewhat childlike with his subtle stature. Despite being similar in age, it induced that maternal side of Clover and she could feel the pull of wanting to fawn over him as if he were a puppy.
