As his nose pushed gently into her fur, Sel let out a soothing sound, a rumble of reassurance deep in her tiny body. In this form, Selene had never realized how much bigger Hadley was than herself. His hands almost spanned across her back! His gentle petting had the red eyes of the hybrid closing them happily, his touch forgotten in all the pain of the raid. A pink tongue shot out to lap gently at his chest, settling in almost just like a pet. Oh how she wanted to comfort the larger hybrid, show him that there was never going to be a time when she hurt him. The coydog so desperately wanted to shift to Optime, wrap her lean body around his and hold him tight. But the circumference of the den prevented that. Much to her dismay.
Instead, like a puppy she snuggled into his lap, curled in his legs with her tail wrapped around her for warmth. The Italian had no idea how long she would stay with him in the small den, although any time spent with Hadley was special. "Hadley?" Sel looked up from her dark paws, glancing up to the man she so wished to be betrothed to, careful not to reopen his wounds. "We're safe now...All's well.." The top of her head was butted gently into his chest, pressed carefully there for comfort. Asking him the reason for his nervousness would only ruining things, terrify her companion again.
Laying back down, Sel glanced out the entrance to the den, conjuring up anything to say. The small woman took a breath, starting a hopefully comforting story. Both of them enjoyed stories, and hopefully this one would be joyful. "There once was a time long ago...Just after our ancestors began to shift..." It was a story her caretaker Sephira had told her when Selene was stuck in a stage of unreality and feverish terror after the ship. "There was a man, the prince of the pack. The only thing that gave him respect was his title. He was smaller than the other men, was not a warrior. " A fluffy tail brushed against him softly, continuing with a soft voice. "At one point, his father asked him to choose a woman to be his wife. He had the choice of any woman in the world." Ah, another love story. But most stories were romances anyway. "Being bold, he wanted to choose a supernatural wife. The daughters of the sun and moon came to our world...Only one to be chosen for the prince." Hopefully this story was going well, looking up the hybrid smiled softly giving the daughter of the sun and moon's descriptions. "The daughter of the sun, She was as beautiful and as light as the bright summer days, warm and bright. But conceited. She didn't care about the prince, only that she retained her sunny beauty. The other, Nephthys her name was. I'm named after her for some reason." A small laugh escaped her lips, even comparing herself to the lunar goddess was foolish. Sel could never amount to that beauty. "She was so beautiful...Everything she did was as beautiful as the cold winter nights in the light of the moon...She sparkled like the stars above. She was cold. Her aloofness towards the prince turned him away, but it was only for show. The daughter of the moon was testing him. If he would choose beauty over the person..." Now the story was becoming silly, uncalled for. "The prince almost chose the sun goddess...But he could see Nephthys aura or soul, that she was kindred and pure. " Closing her eyes, Sel finished off the story. "So he chose her. The daughter of the sun didn't care anyway. So things went well. They lived...Happily...Ever...After--" Happily ever after. Such a funny phrase. Was there a happily ever after? Not really. Had she ever heard of one in reality? No.
