The fragile female could only smile when Haven spoke again. He wasn't going to give up...she could tell. The young knight would win in this fight against his emotions. The ivory and slate female felt Haven's strong arms hugging her in thanks. "You don't have to thank me, Haven..." she trailed off, unable to think of anything else to say. It wasn't anything she had done, really. Her goal had been to make Haven see that what had happened wasn't his fault. All hope for him was not lost and if she had helped him to see that, then she had done what she had set out to do. Ruri had completely forgotten why she had even stepped out this evening. Her initial goal of tiring herself out had been met, for now she was indeed tired, but she dared not show it. She was going to stay with Haven until he decided he was ready to go back to sleep. That was the right thing to do, and she didn't want to leave him before he was ready for her to go. Her plumed tassle hung neatly behind her as she knelt there on the ground with her delicate arms embracing him in an encouraging gesture. Again, he would be the one to decide when he was ready to break the contact. The blind border collie was there for as long as he needed. |
