Alys
As Deimos processed the news, Alys couldn't help a wry smile. If anyone had told her that she'd have a companion, much less an ursur, she'd have told them they were mad. She'd always felt so alone, so separate from the rest of the world. To have a companion to ground her was a new - but not unwelcome - experience that she was still in awe of.
"Thank you," she murmured, her gaze finding Sascha where the cub played in the snow. Their bonding had indeed been an experience, and the memory brought a sad smile to her face. Sometimes she wondered if Sascha wouldn't be better off with her own kind, but then, there had been no one left to raise her in the wild. Without their bond, the little cub would have died in Deepfrost, and that reminder always brought a fierce protectiveness to Alys's mind that had Sascha turning, head tilted, to see what was wrong.
When the cub saw Deimos crouching, however, all worry fled from her infantile mind, and she toddled through the snow, sniffing for whatever Deimos held, until she was right in front of the large man. Crouched, he was smaller, and not nearly so intimidating, and the ursur leaned the last few inches to snuffle at his hands.
Alys continued to shovel, slowly but surely clearing the road alongside Deimos's magic. At her friend's admission, she paused, her shovel full of snow, and turned to look at him, puzzled and intrigued. "Wedding planning?" she asked, head tilted to one side, before a grin broke out upon her face. "Congratulations! When is the wedding?"
As for her own LongNight: "Mine was quiet, except for her," Alys said, jutting her chin towards the cub who had inched closer to Deimos to continue her inspection of his offerings. "I heard that there was some kind of shooting star, or something, that flew through the sky. Did you see anything?"
