LOVE OF MY LIFE / nine

[number nine.]

She hadn't been expecting to never actually find those that she loved so dearly from the past, but she had managed it, and it was the best thing in her entire life right now. Not to say that her life in Elysium was upsetting, far from it, in fact. Elysium was a group that had a relatively simple and peaceful life, while also being willing to stand up for themselves when someone was doing something terrible. Their way of living lined directly up with what she had stood for ever since she had ended up in this world, and because of that she was very, very happy to be there. She probably could've lived a perfectly fine and happy life all on her own in Elysium, but living there and also having Lewis in the same world with her? Well... it was incredible, honestly. Even better, Lewis wasn't in a group that was an enemy of Elysium. Sure, Elysium and Tanglewood weren't actually allies, but they weren't enemies either, and they seemed to have a pretty good working relationship, which meant that the two of them could visit each other whenever they wanted. It meant no hushed and secret talking, which Nine was sure could be fun, but wasn't really what she was looking for at this point in her life.

The large brown feline had been walking around the territory in a patrol when the scent of Tanglewood reached her nose, and immediately she perked up, her tail and her ears shooting up as she quickly moved off towards the border. She knew it wasn't necessarily a guarantee that the Tanglewood scent was that of Lewis, but she still felt an irrational sense of excitement, throwing herself forward over the land of the mountains, before he eventually came upon her boyfriend. A huge grin coming to her face – which only grew wider when she noticed the flowers clamped in his mouth – and she quickly moved over to hug Lewis gently, not wanting to hurt him at all with his new decaying form. She purred warmly at the male as she pressed their foreheads together, her fur pressing against the hound's as she spoke, "Lewis... I didn't expect that you would be visiting so soon, but I'm so glad you did! I know we got to talk a little bit back at Tangle, but... it still wasn't enough. We have so much to catch up on, you know? I havent seen you in what feels like forever..."
