Svenn came closer to Arya, brushing his pelt against hers gently, licking her cheek comfortingly. He could tell, somehow, that she seemed worried about Hildegard and her sister. To be honest, he was wondering what the Kamo Kuhna would reply. Hilard had been raised to close up on his feelings... That was necessary for him to be a good soldier. He couldn't afford to have feelings on a battlefield... but right now... where were they?
Svenn's ears tweaked. He made a sign with his paw to Hilard, calling the commander over to him.
Hildegard lifted an eyebrow, but said nothing. He turned to Ashani and meowed, "If... you would excuse me for a moment..." before getting up and walking over to Svenn. "What is it?" he whispered quietly so neither sisters could hear.
Svenn bent down close to the Kamo's face. "Well, what are you waiting for to tell her, Commander? I know how you can feel.... you're not sure that's what it is, do you?"
Hilard shifted a little, clearly uncomfortable. "Yes, I suppose you could put it that way... But Svenn..." He sighed. "Svenn, I wasn't raised for such things... I'm a soldier, and if I can't control my feelings on the battlefield..."
"But we're not on a battlefield, sir!" Svenn cut him abruptly. "That time is over now, sir. Just tell her! Tell her how you feel!"
Hilard blinked, and he realized Svenn was right. The time when he was on the battlefield, where he would see corpses and blood and guns was over. Now he was free...
After reflecting on this, he turned to Ashani again. "Would you... follow me out? There's a place... I'd like to show you. You all," he added at the end, inviting Svenn and Arya as well.
[Hildegard: 48, Svenn: 42]
