Cerberus delighted in the return of affection from Ciara, especially once she nuzzled up beside him and they shared body heat. It was a beautiful night – the sky was unusually clear and the moon looked like a misshapen diamond in the sky. But he could sense uneasiness coming from Ciara, and this put the coywolf on edge. He wanted the fae to be happy, to enjoy his company and relax. But he knew that the inevitable was looming near, and he was just as unready for it as she appeared to be.
With a reassuring nuzzle to the she-wolf’s head, Cerberus whispered, ”Don’t worry princess, we have a while longer before I’ll walk you home.” How much time, he didn’t know. But he would carry on until the very last minute. Rising to his feet, he wandered down to the shoreline, tossing a summoning glance over his shoulder toward his playmate. With a flick of his fluffy tail, Cerberus dipped his nose into the glassy water, finally snorting at the punch of salt that greeted him. It wouldn’t provide a pleasant drink, but it would be decent enough to swim in. Lowering to the ground, the muscles in Ceri’s legs tensed as he readied himself to jump. The water fled from his body as it disturbed the stillness of it, and then he poked his head above the surface and gave it a good shake. Like a frantic puppy, he paddled to keep himself afloat as he whirled around to locate Ciara. With a beaming grin, he barked, ”Come on sweetheart, the water’s fine!”
Whirling around again, Cerberus swam around in a pompous manner in order to entice the fae, despite how chilly the water actually was. It wasn’t as bad as the river; the sun had warmed it enough throughout the day to make it somewhat pleasant. But as the night went on, it would become increasingly more uncomfortable to sleep alone… at least for him.
