-When she didn't pull away he settled his shoulder lightly against her light one, pondering over her worries with soft thought. This was the sort of thing that happened when you attached yourself too strongly with someone else. And it was something he didn't have experience in.
His love was something fleeting, shared with god and mortal alike. Affairs of usually mutual pleasure. Sometimes once.. sometimes often. But never had he dreamed of trying to claim someone.. nor had anyone convince him to be claimed. Love was supposed to be an ocean without bounds. Passionate, deep, large enough for anyone and everyone. Not a tiny watering hole.. trying to hard to not recede into nothingness under the assault of the sun.
Why had she done that? Let herself be claimed and let them hurt her so? And the next words he spoke were of no new news to her, simply his opinion which seemed to mirror hers at the moment.- "One shouldn't have to shield themselves from emotions just because they're a god. But it is quite the problem. If they won't share.. and you cannot choose. Then the best option is to choose neither."
"Perhaps when they are faced with the thought of losing you completely.. they will settle for your happiness instead?" -And yet what if they didn't? For once in his lifetime he wished he was older.. wiser. Feathers splaying gently across his back, they outstreched gently, until they settled partial across her back, as if trying to protect her from the decision she had ahead.-

Kiva didn't answer verbally, simply turning to lean a bit more against Limbuko, letting him shield her as she buried her face against his shoulder lightly. Her thoughts mirrored his own. She knew that if she left then Kiamba would sooner turn on Lisani. He wasn't the type to blame himself for driving her off... He was convinced his brother had brainwashed her.
She just didn't want to think about it anymore right now.
"I never used to have this problem. Maybe I'm just loosing my touch."

-Her silence was echo'd with his own, until finally his maw nosed against her forehead, followed by the gentle tracing of his tongue, and a soft huff that could easily be picked out as a sigh.
He searched for some sort of verbally comfort, finally settling on a few words, which he spoke in a soft hush.- "I think perhaps you're being hard on yourself? One mistep.. as painful as it feels doesn't negate good you've done in the past? Surely you've helped others? And will help even more in the future."

Kiva was silent, though it was reflective. He was right in that she had helped others before, and she had no intentions of stopping in her efforts to help others from then on. Maybe that was where she'd gone wrong. Maybe she was being too hard on herself. Besides, if she let this keep her down, let this ruin their lives, how would she ever be able to focus on her task of maintaining bonds among the mortals?
"Do you really think it'll turn out alright?" She asked quietly, peering up at Limbuko with hopeful eyes.

-Smile widening he gave a strong nod to her question. Opptimism atleast openned doors. And the more pessimistic she was going in, the less chance of sucess in the end.- "I think it will. It might seem hard along the way. But as long as you're strong, and don't let yourself get too consumed by things I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Things tend to work out in the end.. even if they start out taking the oddest, or most unpleasant paths in the meanwhile."
