Warren stopped pacing as she tried to entice him to play. He listened to her words and sat as she let loose her song. it tugged his heart. It was a sound he had never been able to do. hed never be able to share with her. But it didnt matter. Her song was just for him. And his purr was just for her.<br/><br/>He went to her as she made her solemn promise. He hugged her, laying his large paw over her neck. He purred and rubbed his cheek against her own.<br/><br/>"My mate...... You arent boring..... And I would follow you if you left me. Willingly or not. You are mine and I am yours. You are wise beyond your age..... And I hope we never meet.... 'Her'..... She was....... She charmed me, lied to me...... and after a time she stabbed me in the heart....... She..... She..." His purring stopped..... He huffed and rubbed at his eyes..... It was hard to cry as a cat.... But tears still came...... He let Tinker go and forced the last of the words out.<br/><br/>"She killed my son and daughter..... Tried to kill me..... I wished for a long time she had...." His voice was quiet...... "You can relate to a loss....... But.... It was my cubs..... How could a mother kill her own cubs?" He looked into the water and let the tears go.
