PINK IN MY CHEEKS ♡ DIYA NEEDED

[Simon F.M.]

Life, for much of it, had been cruel to the snowy feline. It had ripped family from her, only to toss them back for a day before taking them away once again. It had taken memories from her, taking away two years that she had yet to get back. But, in recent months it had been kind. While her passed family remained gone, it gave her a new family. Friends who she held dear, a brother who she couldn't do without, lovely children(both born and adoptive), and a girlfriend who she held dear to her heart. It had been a rough process to get here, filled with meteors that ripped islands apart and deaths that ripped her heart apart. But, no matter how hard the ride had been, she deemed it worth it. She was happy where she had ended up, no matter the turmoil that hung over her head.

She had been working hard ever since Keona had returned with the awful news, bouncing between caring for her children and preparing the group for whatever may come their way. When she had a moment to spare, she would go to Roxanne, bringing her food and drinks to make sure she was cared for while she worked herself into the ground. Gentle whispers as she coaxed the chocolate colored feline from her desk, just so she could get a small nap to later look over her plans with fresh eyes.

She had been surprised to see the other so early from her office, though not unhappy. She had already began to turn in her lover's direction when the other had called her over. Corcern covered the vampiress' face as she approached, taking a moment to nuzzle her muzzle against her girlfriend's soft fur. "What is it, dear?" she asked as she pulled back, settling herself into a seated position before the other. She momentarily thought this had to do with the ongoing turmoil but, surely she would have called over the others? Her head tilted to the side, worry and curiosity taking over her expression as she set her paw ontop of the Roxanne's.
