Never being one to turn down a kiss from his beautiful mate Vanyel's lips met Oena's just moments before their lips parted so that their tongues could once again  engage in a loving dance.  While their kisses never lacked for loving or tender expression the kisses they shared in the wake of sharing pleasure always seemed to be filled with even more tender and loving care than at other moments of the day.  Perhaps it was because their bodies still seemed to tremble with the great release and out poring of love they felt for each other which each of them had pored into their every touch every move as they had shared the great gift of pleasures together.<br/><br/>The kiss had been long and lingering as if neither of them had anything better or more important to do than to lay in each others arms and share the warmth of the love which had continued to grow for one another since the day he had proposed to her so many years ago.  In fact if he had truly believed they could get away with it Vanyel might have even suggested that the two of them simply spend the rest of the day within their furs.  But he could not be selfish and ask to keep the Mammut of the camp all to himself the wolf camp need her just as much as he did.  Besides there was always the deep dark depths of night when everyone else slept where he could have her completely all to himself.<br/><br/>When their long loving kiss came to its natural end and their lips parted Vanyel looked directly into Oena's eyes as he said, "My love there is something I have been meaning to talk to you about and had meant to earlier before you shocked me with your wonderful news about wanting to have children.  I too have been thinking about changing my mind about a decision which I made long ago.  But I shall need both the full support of my beloved wife and the guidance of my Mammut to judge the wisdom of my thoughts."<br/><br/>Vanyel paused a moment to let his throat rest a little before continuing on.  This was simply far to important to not be spoke.  By speaking what he had to say instead of just signing it would help show just how serious he was about his idea.  "Beloved I have been thinking for some time now that perhaps I should finish the shaman training which I began so many years ago.  Take my final tests and become a full Mammut.  Especially now with your wanting to have a baby I think it would help relieve more of that stress from you.  I mean most people already think of me as a Mammut so I might as well be.  Besides thinking of it now I somehow get the feeling it will be very important for our child to have both parents as Mammuts."
