Kamau forced a laugh, more to humor her than anything else. He nodded to her, with a faint smile. "Then I'll stay."
His green eyes cast over to the open plains, he wondered about the weather for the next few days, and of the hunting, and if he'd need to find more medicine for her wounds. He thought nothing of any difficulties that lay ahead for the pair, either because of her health or a scarcity of prey.
Nor could he even imagine at that moment what their time together would bear. For now, he just was living in the moment, and appreciating the blues of Tsubame's pelts more than the skies, and her yellows and oranges struck him as prettier than the sun's rays.
End.
