She came to him, just as he expected, for he knew they were like one in the same; two souls forced to act against their most genuine natures. Her small hand entered his, while her other tangled itself into his mane and he could see her weeping with him. He buried his snout into the tiny nape of her neck; she smelled of medicine, tea, and poison and the scent made his tears just flow all the harder. He hiccupped, his back heaving as the tears fell; though it hurt now, he could feel the relief already begin to start within his heart.
He held Zana near him for a while, crying softly, thinking of his now dead mother, thinking of the hate filling Columbine’s heart, thinking of his lost sister. Helotes, for all his physical strength and will could not contain these dreadful emotions. The Lykoi nuzzled deeper into his cousin's orange fur, drawing comfort from her. She was still injured, but he was also injured. Gently, he lifted her, an easy task, and lowered her softly into the water beside him, onto one of his knees so she would not sink below the surface.
Helotes watched with tear stained eyes at her fur darkened in the water, the tips of her mane turning to ringlets in the steam. She was beautiful, more beautiful he decided than any woman he had ever had in a tryst with, and before he could even think the words lept from his mouth like fire he could not stop, Te amo… te amo. and he began to lick her small cheeks
