As soon as he reached for her, she was back in his arms with her head on his shoulder, her eyes closed as her body relaxed into his embrace. Wasn't the way it always was and would always be? She stood aloof and apart until the moment he opened his arms for her and as soon as that happened...there was no way she could resist him. One leg shifted to rest over his as her fingers made a small fist on his chest. Swallowing heavily, she merely lay there, quiet and soft in his arms as she waited for him to speak more, to tell her things in his own time. Some of the blame in their distance could be laid at her feet, she supposed. She'd never asked anything of him. Never asked to be let in, never asked why their bond had changed when the whelps came, never asked for him to touch her or hold her or just comfort her. She never went to him for help when she was feeling like she was losing her mind or when she was so depressed she just wanted to run away from home. No, instead they both chose to face their demons alone, even though they had the one that fate and the gods had chosen to help them along at their sides. It was sad, really. So many people prayed for a blessing like they had, to be joined with their one true mate, to be part of a whole and they...they had that. They had it and they wasted it and really, what kind of God could be forgiving of that? To have their gift thrown back into their faces unappreciated and under used. Her fingers flattened out against his chest now, feeling his heart beating and the warmth that his body threw off. Had she even really appreciated following asleep next to him at night lately? Neither one of them had turned to the other in their sleep...did this happen to all new parents or was their relationship just really that new and week that it couldn't handle the strain of the whelps?
