The sobbing lessened, Skoll drawing strength from her. Adelle was glad. She hadn't been sure that her own experience would be enough. Grief could be crushing. It was only the fact that her pack wouldn't let her slip away that had pulled her back to herself. She had a goal to complete, and footsteps to follow in. Adelle didn't know what Skoll had, but she hoped it was enough. The dog just wished that she was back to how things had been before. Adelle didn't feel that anymore, the soft young feelings that had been there before she'd grown sad. It looked like Skoll had lost that as well now.
Of course. Adelle's tail managed to wag a little thinking that she had managed to help him. It was hard to be this strong when she knew how impossible it was to go on after such a death. Skoll had more to lose than her, which was even worse. The sudden movement surprised her. Well, not sudden. Adelle found herself looking into Skoll's eyes, and feeling him stretch up. She didn't move, frozen where she was as their muzzles brushed. Her first kiss tasted of salt, and slippery. Nothing fit together how she thought it was supposed to. She stared at him in shock, unsure how to respond. Was it going to keep going?
