Kreios locked gazes with Renzille for a split second, the tension he was feeling earlier gradually melting away.
Slowly, he lowered his head and leaned his forehead against her shoulder, a sense of weary surrender washing over him as he let out a sigh, the weight of his troubled thoughts and conflicted feelings taking a toll on him.
All of those made him seek peace in Renzille's comforting presence which caught Renzille slightly off guard.
However, without questioning it, she quickly recovered and wrapped her arms around him in a loose embrace, her fingers gently caressing the back of his head.
She knows the feeling of facing a former lover and how painful it was so offering her assurance to Kreios was the least she could do.
Kreios buried his face in Renzille's shoulder further, his ears twitching when he felt her hand glide down his head and couldn't help, but let his fluffy tail wiggle inside of his coat.
