Each Bonding becomes a sort of leap in his throat as he watches the Plenyt move to those they had chosen. Radames trains his eyes on the one he had been playing with, the little purple and gold who had completely taken his heart. Who would she choose? And why wasn't she moving? She seemed to be watching each of her siblings with an air of mild curiousity as they went to their new Bonded, sitting on her haunches and waiting to make her own choice.
He trembles unashamedly as there are only three left, and then two, and then one. The symphony of purple, gold, and white fur begins to move as the final Plenyt rises to her agile paws and begins moving. Unable to watch, Radames squeezes his eyes shut, resolving to look when her choice was made. But nothing seems to happen. There is only the darkness inside his eyelids and his own unsteady breathing to keep him company. He resolves to open his eyes and see who she has chosen.
His eyes open to a set of kind, brass hued ones, and a sweet, somewhat queenly voice that flows effortlessly through his senses. I don?t suppose I need to tell you why I?m here? Well, in case you?re being particularly dense, I?ve Bonded to you, and my name is Siwgr, Radames. Lucky you! Smiling softly, he runs a hand down her neck and then buries his face in the purple and gold fur.
"I'm not dense, I'm just happy. Yes, lucky me. Are you sleepy? Hungry?" She cocks her head thoughtfully before answering, a small purr rumbling through her the entire time.
Well, food sounds sorta good. And then a nap. Definitely. She adds with a short little nod, tugging him in the direction of the Clearing. He smiles again and follows her willingly, all doubt and worry banished from his mind forever, along with most of the stored darkness he had collected in his years of servitude.
