Drake nodded slowly, taking off his shoes and socks, he sat down on the edge of the lake and put his feet in the water, "Okay. But I'm still sorry…"

She stood beside him and nodded "I'm sorry for getting mad at you earlier."

"No, I shouldn't have gotten mad." He replied.

"Why? you have every right to be." She said as she saw the un slowly setting.

He was quiet for a little while, just kicking his feet slowly in the shallow water and watching the sun go down, "I know. But that still doesn't mean I should have snapped at you."

She shrugged "You're entitled to your own feeling and I to mine. Plus, I think I needed someone to snap at me for a while now, a good argument is healthy." As the moon rose, she slowly shifted into her wolf form.

“Well, you’re not wrong there.” He muttered, watching the moons reflexion on the lake.

She growled gently in response and nodded

He leaned back in the grass and sighed, “We should get back, shouldn’t we?” He muttered, but he closed his eyes and didn’t budge.

She smiled and nodded. She nudged him with her snoot but when she saw that she didn't move, she curled up close and closed her eyes

He peaked one eyes open and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her in just slightly closer to his body.

She nuzzled into him and licked his hand gently

Drake, despite himself, cracked a small smile, "Goodnight Valtira."

She let out a small bark in response and nuzzled up against him, finding comfort in his unnatural warmth and solidarity. She hadn't realized how she'd missed his presence until now

It wasn't long after that until Drake was asleep, curled up around Valtira be a lake, under the moonlight.

For he first time in a long time, she didn't have nightmares, or visions or cold sweats. She slept peacefully. In the middle of the night, she subconsciously changed back into her Fae form.

When she shifted, Drake wrapped her in his arms, still asleep.

She breathed in deeply and smiled this is a dream, it has to be.
(Time skip to morning?)

(Yup)
Drake woke up to the sun filtering through the trees and his arms wrapped around Valtira. He was a little confused at first and wanted to pull away but he didn't. He stayed where he was.

Groaning in protest to get up, valtira reluctantly opened her eyes ….that's not my bedroom wall…..and these aren't blankets around me… She inhales sharpy and shoved herself away, unsheathing a hidden dagger and pointing at the body while trying to shake the sleep from her body "dr-drake?" All the memories came rushing back from the night before "oh my stars, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" She dropped the dagger and backed away slowly

Drake chuckled, a low, warm sound as he sat himself up, "It's fine, V. You don't have to apologise."

She smiled at his laugh, despite herself and sheathed her dagger "nothing got…weird did it?"

Drake shook his head, "No, we just slept, nothing more."

She let out a breath of relief "best night sleep I've had in years." She admitted quietly. She broke from her momentary trance "I'm going to find a place to wash up." She said and walked off towards a wooded part near the lake

"Have fun." Drake collapsed back in the grass and closed his eyes once more, resting his hands behind his head.
