Animal Family

      Luna and Virtute just had their first, most authentic sweet moment. There was a sound that scared Luna awake, sending her running and leaping towards the window like a hurdles athlete swiftly leaping to action. The activity scared Virtute too, and left her tail puffed and hairs along her exotic patterned back spiked up as she stared down Luna. Eventually Luna did not hold her breath and calmed and returned to her blanket on the couch, but Virtute still seemed troubled. She slowly stepped out from the folds on my lap and made her way over to Luna. With her fur still offed like that I thought maybe it'd be smart to hold he back, but something told me not to. Their eyes seemed gentle, almost caring or affectionate towards eachother. Luna reached out her nose without changing her flopped position, as office gingerly paved over. Then they each touched the tips of their noses together, and looked in each of the other's eyes with a soft expression. Then Virtute carried on and Luna out her head back down to lick her own leg.

      It almost seemed like they were comforting eachother. #memories

       And now as Luna continues to chill in her place, Virtute is stepping. ver my arm to demand attention, purring loudly, and Luna doesn't even seem jealous. Virtute presses her surprising wet, cold nose against the skin above my thumb and rests her chin even though her head bobs as I type on this tiny keyboard, and Luna is drifting off back to a sleep.

      Luna's eyes are open lazily, and I whisper, "good girl Luna" and her eyes brighten and her stubby tail wags like a giggle, and she gets back to grooming herself.

      The quiet is interrupted only by Virtutes purr like a cotton all motorcycle, and Luna's snorty, contented sighs and slapping over her tongue.

      The air doesn't move except with Virtute's moist, rhythmic breaths against my hand, and the only motion across the room from us is Luna's breathing and shifting back off to sleep.

       Again Virtute crawls out from between my arms and steps over to Luna, but this time putting her nose to her face. Luna wakes quickly and they exchange a look meaning who knows what, but both sit in their place just looking at eachother.

      Could try already love eachother, even though Virtute only stoves a couple days ago?

       It looks like Virtute wants a cuddle but doesn't know how to ask.

      After a moment Lina puts her head back down and Virtute returns to her place across my arms and lap, still purring without letup since she began and Luna is nestled in her blanket drifting off to anther dreamland once more.

      But this is already a dreamland.

      This is a family. #memories #lunarwinds Published 2021-04-09
