^^After all that they had seen and experienced so recently, he still cannot quite claim the calm that seems to hover just beyond them. Cloudrest is its own sort of mystic haven, where far away wars and worries bring strife to others. Sure, there is no safety from trouble to be found; not when they had only just gotten home it felt like. Not when there was still healing to do for mental and physical wounds.

He knew that beyond the injuries to her body that Ria had suffered greatly. It is in the fact that her children's father is not here - that the illusive figure still haunts her when she looks upon her young brood. It is in those old dreams she can't shake, the ones that leave her distant from him at times, and all Eira can manage to do is be present. he doesn't try and prod her along in her feelings or her thoughts; his purpose isn't to push it is to comfort. She wound herself against him and he wrapped her close, a possessive arm pulling her against him in the quiet as she touched over him. The slight of her breathing almost tickles him, and he can't hide his chuckle before he moves his snout to kiss along her chest and down to the swell of her stomach.

Possessive, she is fire, life, vitality and all he can do is try and bury the smug reaches of him at the knowledge that he was the one she turns to.

For all of her worries, Eira could feel the sort of creeping sensation up her spine where she started to be more cagey - where she shied from what boxed her in. Eira was careful not to press too hard to not corner her, to make sure that what he was for her was available without being too pushy. Still, she worried, and all he could do at times was to be a distraction.

Her words came in short sorts of ways; there was no soft whisper of cherubs and poetic meanings there. She asked him if he would stay and his brows knit in confusion - hadn't he been? But there was a deeper meaning to it, and as all things, eventually it would come into its own and she would tell him. He glanced around as if there would be another who would be waiting to escort him away at her mere word but no one but them had ventured into Cloudrest and the corner of the world they claimed.

“Rakastettu” — Beloved He began as he touched his snout to her chin. She had been the place he had woken to, and continued to wake for, since his arrival here. “Missä sinä olet, siellä minun on tarkoitus olla.” — Where you are is where I am meant to be How could Eira assure her that he was not just an average man? That who he was was a man guided by the follies of his ancestors, that he was alive purely by a need to prove those others wrong? Eira had been taught for as early as he could remember how to behave and how to live.

He didn't shy away from his emotions, he didn't try and hide them down deep, he didn't try and control them like his father, or to cut them off like his grandfather had. Eira wanted to prove that to her. He let out a soft sounding sigh and pressed his forehead to hers. “Älä heitä minua ulos..” — Don't cast me out He could not command her and was not trying to - his tone was soft and full of pleas. You don't have to love me - but please, don't make me leave.

^^The urge that he had was to sweep her to him, hold her close, to drown every feeling she had until it was only them and the future that they were building. Frostchant was his as much as his natal home was, in the way that he was proud of it's growth and hold and the way that he longed to see it survive. There was also the matter of their young in her belly and the swell that he was coming so quickly to love. He could not cage her, though, even the most beautiful and gilded of cages was still a prison. A spirit like hers wasn't meant to be tamed - and he was not the type to lock his loved ones down. She had to experience the life she wanted to claim her for herself.

His role, the one he longed for and thrived in, was to be her support.

“Olet rohkea - ja arvostan sitä” — You are bold, and I cherish that, He began as evenly as he could. He would not dream of chastising her in her hurt, in her concern, not when she had survived so much in her days and past that he couldn't understand. “Älä luule tietäväsi mitä päässäni on, Lumihiutale.” — Do not think you know what is in my head, Snowflake. She pushed off from him and he stood swiftly, watching as she was overcome and it wasn't until her words had been ebbed into the gasping and cries and he couldn't help himself anymore. “Syvät hengitykset.” — Deep breaths. His soft tone was encouraging, his snout gently touching her shoulder before he pressed his head against her neck. He could hear the frantic pace of her heartbeat and her breathing, trying to guide her breathing with his own.

“Olemme tähtipöly, sinun ja minun,” — We are the stardust, yours and mine, . He said it softly, keeping his voice a low croon right for her ears and hers only. “sielumme ja heidän sielumme, syvällä teissä, me tulimme samoista paikoista ja palaamme samoihin paikkoihin, kun kaikki on sanottu ja tehty.” — - our souls and theirs, deep in you still, we came from the same places and we will return to the same places when it is all said and done. Eira wasn't as intrinsically religious as some he knew, but, what he felt wasn't just capped by the figureheads of his ancestors. What he felt was more. And he knew what he felt for her. “Tulen rakastamaan tarpeeksi meidän molempien puolesta. ” — I will love enough for the both of us. He promised softly. 

He would be there. As long as she needed of him, he would be there.

^^Any whisper of his name was met with the softest of sounds from him. Normally a symphony from her lips, this wasn't the same; he understood that this was what she could manage to offer him when words were far far too much. Everything else seemed impossible right then and what he could offer her was a haven. He would guard her from the rest of the world as long as he could to bring her comforts - the things that she deserved so intently. Peace wrapped safe around her, a way that she could heal from the wounds the world had put upon her.

But her whimper and the way she recoiled made him worry, ears shifting forward to catch her words as they left her lips. Her kisses and soft words soothed the ache in him, the things that he didn't want to beg her for because he wanted it to be given freely. He never wanted to suggest to her that she had to give him anything. He would never make demands of her. But he longed - longed for the kind of partnership he'd seen in his parents, for the love of the nuclear family that he had known.

“Unelmien ei tarvitse loppua – ei niin kauan kuin haluamme niiden elävän.” — Dreams don't have to end - not for as long as we want them to live. He could promise her that much, because it was what they could make. “Meillä voi olla niitä asioita, meillä voi olla mitä haluamme.” — We can have those things, we can have anything we want.. What did she want - the stars themselves? The moon? The sun? He offered her a soft smile and pressed his lips to her forehead. “Kasvoin kauniissa perheessä. Sitä minä haluan heille, meille.” — I grew up in a beautiful family. That is what I want for them, for us. He wanted to build that with her.
