Catori sighed quietly and turned to her sadly, seeking comfort. Do you think my brother's alright? I hope he is, poor liddle mite. He's so young. I hope he has a better time of it than I did...

"You know I was just thinking of Kodi, too." Laney knelt in front of him and looked up into his eyes. She'd seen a quick flash of red there and wanted to calm him. "Mother said he's strong like you. He'll come back. We'll see him someday." Even though Catori had promised not to leave her, she was a little afraid that he might want to go and find his brother, to exact justice on those who had taken him.

Catori looked into her eyes sadly. Do you really think he'll come back? He had been thinking tentatively about going to find him and bring him back, but as he looked into her eyes he could see that she was afraid of him doing just that. He lowered his ears confusedly as he battled inwardly. He didn't know whether to go or stay. He'd promised to stay, but he couldn't just leave his defencless brother to fend for himself either.

"Yes, of course." Laney knew no such thing but she said it to keep herself from screaming, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME AGAIN. I'LL DIE IF YOU DO!!" She swallowed hard, looked down at her paws and tried to calm herself. Then she looked back at him tears in her eyes. "I've only just gotten you back," she breathed, just barely above a whisper.

Catori hugged her and rubbed her back soothingly. I know, Love. I'm not leaving, at least not without you. I'll let you come if you want to, but you have to be careful if you do come. And you have to stay out of my sight when I fight them, otherwise I'll end up hurting you too. Can you promise me that if you come with me?

Lalena stood, staring at him, her eyes full of anger and frustration. "Our own kitts you said. You said we could start trying. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay here, with you." She dropped to her knees in front of him again begging him. "Catori, I love you. I want to start a family, our own family."

Catori stared at the ground thoughtfully for a moment. He was torn and didn't know what to do. He wanted to keep his promise to his wife and stay, but he also wanted to go help his brother. He couldn't just leave him, he was absolutely defenceless. He looked at her, his eyes reflecting his inner conflict. I want to stay with you, Love. I really do, more than anything, but I also can't just leave my brother. He's only ten. He has no way of protecting himself. I can't just leave him, can I? I dunno what to do...

Lalena rose slowly, sadly. "Your Mother made soup. It should be ready by now." She turned and began to walk back toward the river. "I'm not feeling very hungry." She'd forgotten all about the promise she had made to herself to eat something this evening, but it didn't look like they would be trying for a baby any time soon, so what did it matter if she gained the weight anyway?

Catori rose also and hugged her. You have to eat something, Love. You know it's not healthy to not eat. He sighed and nuzzled her neck. I really really sorry, Laney. I never meant to upset you. That's the last thing I wanted to do. If you really want me to stay, just say the word and Ill stay.

"I'm sorry, too. I'm being selfish. It's just that I just got you back. I'm not willing to give you up again right now." She returned his hug. "You're right of course. I know I should eat." She laid her head on his shoulder and placed her paw on spot where the wolf paw print had been. "You need to do what you think is right. I just hope I'm a part of whatever that is."

Catori layed his head on top of hers affectionately. You're not being selfish, Laney. I understand perfectly. I don't want to leave you either, but I can't help but feel like I should go look for him. I won't make a decision for awhile, though. I need to think about it a lot before I decide either way. No matter what happens, Laney, you're always part of me and what I do. Always.

"Thank you," she whispered. Lalena was somewhat reassured but she still had her doubts. She made a decision to forget them for the moment though and enjoy what she had. She looked up at Catori and tried to smile, "Shall we go in to dinner, then, love."

Catori smiled lovingly and stroked her head fur in a gesture of affection. Anytime, Laney. I just want you to be happy. He then nuzzled her cheek and nodded in response to her question. Dinner sounds good. Let's head inside. It's getting a bit chilly out anyways. No sense in catching cold. He took her hand gently and led her inside their holt.
