[private] putting roots in my dreamland

[Avelina]

This moment is in such vivid contrast to what she had felt just moments ago. Avelina does not remember the last time someone embraced her and her eyes widen in delighted surprise when he pulls her close. It wasn’t that her family or friends weren’t affectionate, but gentle touches and smiles were what they exchanged most. What a waste, she thinks, when such a sweet gesture belongs in everyone’s life. Warmth spreads across her skin like she is standing in a ray of sunshine and her eyes close in easy contentment as she presses gently back into Isakov. The only thing not gentle is the rapid pace of her heart, filled to bursting with love for her dear friend as he murmurs to her. “I know.” She whispers back into his skin. “You’re my dearest friend, Isakov. I trust you with all my heart.” Avelina thinks that she could stand here forever in this embrace if it were possible. It is not, and if it were she would dearly miss looking into his gold eyes. Isakov's magic cannot create anything for Avelina that could perfect what he already is to her, so she remains ignorant of the fact that there could be an illusion between them at all if she loved him any less. She pulls back a little, brushing her muzzle gently across his star-covered neck as she does - those pale green eyes dancing in the light of the fireflies that surround them both. “I’m so glad you and your stars brought noise into my life.” avelina
