[ He's...not sure he wants Olivine to just see past contentment. It's an ache deep inside him, grip tightening again. He wants to shield the other from sorrow and hardship, and make sure he's deeply happy. Is it the mating bond, or just the deepening feelings he has -- he doesn't know. But the unease that it's inappropriate or overstepping feels duller and farther away.
His breath draws a little, though, at Olivine admitting he's thanked his God for Basch. Somehow that...brings home the other's claims of happiness more than anything else has. ]
I wish I'd found you sooner, because it breaks my heart that you were so lonely. [ His voice is low, careful, not quite the full growl of his wolf self, but the relation is still there. ] Mate or guard, I want to give you everything. Meals, companionship, a safe place to set down your burdens, a travel partner when needed. I want to see you happy, where any discontentment is a passing grievance, not a thing to be endured day in and day out.
