TOS Moments: Keaton and Tenebrae

Keaton sighed as she watched the stars from the cliff. They were at Altessas' house on the journey after demon's, yet Keaton couldn't be happier. Emil was back, Tenebrae was staying with them so they could find the demon's easily, and everyone was together. Emil and Marta had gotten engaged at their last mission, Lloyd had Colette had been together since the incident in Flanoir, and everyone else were getting closer. Then there was her, and her mate Tenebrae. They had gotten together before the last battle. When Emil went to see Marta, Tenebrae sneaked off to see her.

Keaton smiled as the breeze went through her fur, making it ruffle slightly and the moonlight made her look ethereal. She laid her head on her paws, a smile still on her face. She didn't hear the sound of something appearing behind her, until it spoke.

"Keaton, what're you doing out here?" a males' voice spoke, and Keaton umped, before looking over her shoulder, and smiling.

"Tenebrae, don't scare me like that. It isn't funny." Keaton said, and he chuckled.

"Yes it is." Tenebrae said and Keaton smiled, before rolling her eyes.

"Tenebrae, don't quit your day job." Keaton said, and he only laughed.

They laid their in silence, watching the stars, and trying to point out constellations.

"I love the night." Keaton said as the breeze went through their fur.

"Is it because of me?" Tenebrae joked, and it was Keatons turn to laugh.

"You have part to do with it, but the main reason is the silence, and peace it can bring. Not many people come to appreciate the night, for their too worried about the bad things night has brought to them before. When it all truth, it's probably safer than the sun. The sun can blind people during a fight, and that can get you killed. The sun makes everything known when ignorance-is-bliss, and the sun can kill someone...have anyone every thought about that?" Keaton questioned, and laid against Tenebrae and he smiled, wrapping his hand like tail around her, and snuggled closer to her.

They laid their in silence again, just enjoying the others company. Keaton was content beside him, knowing that he was there for her. Tenebrae felt as though Martel herself had given him her wish, and made him complete. Martel and Mithos gave him the one thing they needed, which was making sure he had Keaton, alive and well. Keaton looked at Tenebrae, smiled, and licked his nose, and he returned the gesture of affection. She laid against Tenebrae again, while he laid his head over her neck, by her shoulder, and the two feel asleep, even as the sun began to rise, bathing the two of them in the sun light.
