It was hard to speak of ones heart to another, yet Torasin knew he should always let the person of whom he loved know that he did. This wasn't the first time he had offered his heart to another, and the stud thought it would get easier the older he got, but in fact he found it got harder. Rather, offering pieces of an already battered affection made him feel a little less adequate each time. Torasin knew that even his huge heart could only shatter into so many little pieces. It was a fine line he walked between happiness and depression but he was willing to take one more risk. One more he leapt at a life he always dreamed of, knowingly accepting that if this didn't work then a much darker life presented itself before him. So his heart lifted when she immediately replied and in the meantime Kiba had leapt from his bonded's back in chase of some prey. Not too interested in the events the dragon knew would surely take place soon, maybe he knew more than his bonded, such was the keen senses of dragons.

The Doctor allowed his body to brush up against hers when she leaned in, almost like a caress as each movement he made was always with a curious glance, as if asking for permission with each tender touch. "Nothing would make me any happier than to have a family with you, Solstice." The gentle nose continued across her cheek and along her neck, carrying on like golden kisses for one who truly deserved them and more. His heart skipped, beating faster making him feel like a young colt again, experiencing love for the first time. The stud was nervous, he'd known Solstice for a while and he never wanted anything to come between their friendship. He never knew that over time he had grown love for the mare who looked similar to himself in appearance.

He wanted nothing more than to have little painted children running rings around him again, to give his twin sons more family to make them feel like they belong. Something for them to think about other than the death of their mother, and if anything else, to be able to live beside his own children. If only for brief moments of their lives before his own ended.
