Shiroshika, for far too long, had suffered - but since the world had shifted, they'd begun to truly heal. There were several still lost, wolves who he would continue to hope would find safe passage. His family, however, was whole.

Quicksilver held them close to his heart and thanked the stars for that each night.

They maintained their claim and those that remained, including his yearling brood, worked well together. The druid had returned from a successful hunt with his young sons and retired to the royal den to await his mate's return. When at last she joined him he welcomed her with warmth, pressing himself to her with a crooning note.

She melted into him, safe and at ease. Quicksilver buried his alabaster snout among the pallid tresses of Reiko's furs and drank her in through flared nostrils. He basked in the aroma she carried: lavender and snow. It was a scent he would never tire of.

And that smile! There'd been times throughout their life together that he feared he might never see it grave her maw again. It came more frequently than ever nowadays, and for that the druid was grateful. She was at peace. She was happy.

“Let it always be this way,” he mumbled against his beloved's nape as he pressed a kiss to her skin there. Reiko tucked herself close in his embrace, content at last.

He basked in the closeness of her, content in the quiet stillness of their time alone. Quicksilver exhaled heavily through his nose and his eyelids fluttered closed. They were quick to snap back open, however, as his mate piped up with a question that was most unexpected. The druid withdrew just enough to seek his snowflower's vibrant gaze, his own wide with surprise.

The joy remained on her face at the suggestion, and his expression softened. Their brood was fast approaching their first birthday and he'd noted months prior that her season had not come again since their birth. Reiko's last pregnancy had been difficult on her, he remembered, but things had been different then. A year ago the future of Shiroshika had been uncertain. Now, with their life together more settled, it seemed only appropriate to expend their family.

“I think,” he crooned, and reached to touch the very tip of his nose to the Empress' own, “that is a wonderful idea.”

The air around them was pleasantly warm despite the frozen terrain on which they'd made their home, and Quicksilver was content to lay close to his beloved and rest. His paws felt like jelly following their evening activities and his eyelids were weighted. Sleep threatened to sweep him away, but the druid blinked and twitched an ear at the sound of Reiko's voice.

She gave voice to her wants once again and the silverwhite's smile brightened. His snowflower woukd have anything her heart desired that night, and for all might to come.

Quicksilver melted against her, pushing his muzzle against hers and pressing a kiss to his mate's feathered cheek. “I love you,” he crooned, “always.”

Sleep was not something that could be evaded for long, but when Quicksilver roused once more he was ready to perform when the Empress so desired.
