Kiara wasn't sure why she felt so draw to Toby. It was clear that he was unstable and the presence of his alternate, Fang, should have been terrifying. Kiara knew just how bad some luperci could be, the numerous scars that littered her body were a physical testimony and constant reminder to that. Yet, he needed her. She had found him, lost and confused like a puppy in need of caring. There was no way Kaira could have ignored him. Her action's defied logic, but it was the only explanation Kiara could give to herself and to the daughter that she had abandoned.
The sound of footsteps caught Kiara's attention and her ear flicked as she quickly sampled the air. Toby was returning from a successful hunt. As if a spell had been cast, her fears began to fly away, growing lighter with each one of his steps. Kiara lifted her head slightly and whined a greeting, her tail moving slightly across the ground. The scent of fresh meat rose up to meet her like a ton of bricks, filling her nostrils and making her mouth drool. She glanced at the carcass, her eyes blazing as a sudden sense of hunger set in. However, the gnawing in her belly was just as soon forgotten when Toby leaned down to kiss her forehead. Kiara returned his affection with a few quick licks under the male's chin. Hey. Welcome back.
Toby was quick to join Kiara in the shade, his body sitting close but no so much that it would stifle her. Leaning over slightly, Kiara nestled her large head into his fur, letting his dark fur mix and meld with her near albino coloring. It's not your fault. I'm just not good with summer. At least worst had past and fall is on its way. Just to make her point clearer, Kiara rolled over and let her back run along Toby's side. Her tail moved lethargically across the ground, sweeping over the moss and catching stray twigs and tiny leaves. For just a moment, Kiara could forget her troubles as the world seemed to fall into place in all the right ways.
