Mmm, waking up to soft kisses and touches was the best thing. Kali hummed and nuzzled her Khari back, snuggling closer and reaching up to sneak a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth. Oh. But he’d turned to kiss on Kylin. A weird little knot in her belly made her frown a little, and she nibbled on the inside corner of her lip, not really sure what that feeling was. Her ears flicked back uncertainly and she stood with him as he got up. She almost pulled back, confused by the way her chest felt a little tight and her tummy clenched, but he coaxed her closer instead.
Still perplexed, she tucked herself up against his side, burrowing under his wing where she loved to curl up into him and let him wrap himself around her and hold her close and safe and warm. She was so distracted, it took her a good long moment to notice the way the trees sparkled and shone with iron decorations, light glinting off the metal as breeze rustled through the branches of the trees, making them sway and dance gently. “Oh!”
Her dark eyes lit up, and a soft smile started at the corners of her lips. It’s so pretty! She glanced up at Khari, bumped the top of her nose gently against his chin, turned the playful touch into a caress. Thank you for waking me up. Even if she had been so, so cozy all nestled against him like that, mmm.
Her face fell though, as she looked around at their gathered family. Mom should be here. All her soft, tentative happy crashed down, heart aching in her chest as she buried her face in Khari’s hair. I miss her, Khari. It’s not right that she’s not here for this. Do you think she’s okay? How were they supposed to be happy and celebrate when she was missing?
