"Are you alright? Your pale . " Clovis asked gently cupping her cheek . Her skin was burning to the touch . His frown deepend .
"It is alright . Its mainly Skin Pain . I haven't transformed in a while, I have been under such tight security . " Kyera explained and Clovis frowned deeply .
"That can affect your health?" he wondered aloud . Mordrin had joined them by this point and answered for her .

"Yes, it can turn to a almost excruciating pain . Just as staying beast too long can destroy her mind . Kyera, change for a while . Father and I made sure the less loyal guards moved on . Whether you be tiger or human here, your safe . " Mordrin offered knowing the pain, he had seen her in it before . Truth be told, he didn't want to see it again .
Kyera nodded and stepped back, standing beside clovis she changed form . Her body blurred and awkwardly found its way back to shape . The pains made it hard for her muscles to slip back into place as her musculature shifted . However after several moments she stood as a tiger beside them . Her wounds from the battle more noticable . Swollen muscles and bruises could be seen against the thick fur in the way it lumped over the damage .
Her motions were small and a bit jolty as she moved into the water and just stood in the stream . One shoulder was inches higher than the other . It was obvious her fight had not been a easy one . Raina looked guilty as she began gathering flowers . Clovis looked out at Kyera then at his daughter knowing he can't leave her side . Mordrin saw this .
"Raina, why don't you and I gather herbs? There are some really good medicine plants that can ease her pain . Can you help me find them?" Mordrin asked and Raina's little face lit up . She nodded and he led her away, giving the grownups time to talk .
Clovis slipped his shirt off as well as his pants, leaving a lower layer of shorts on before slipping into the water . It was warm, this stream fed by a hot spring . It was surprisingly relaxing, no wonder she had stepped into the water .
He walked to her side and knelt down beside her . Clovis gently worked his fingers along her back, from shoulder blades to hips trying to relieve some of the pressure and pain . Kyera looked back at him with those sad, but grateful eyes . She turned around and settled her head on his knee .
"I am sorry you were forced to leave by what happened . I had no idea they were going to crash our wedding . " Kyera offered an apology but he shook his head .
"Kyera, you had a rougher time at that wedding than I did . All I ask is are you sure you want to marry me? I don't want you to regret this later . He must still care if he took the time to crash our wedding . " he explained watching her expression . Kyera's heart throbbed with pain as those cold eyes flashed through her mind .
"Verone and I were always close, I will admit that seeing him at first did confuse me and make my heart stop . " she admitted looking out at the water flowing downstream . It was so much like her emotions right now, a slow swirl of different components spinning and bubbling in a confusing medley .
"I see . " Clovis felt a tightness in his chest, his hand casually caressing her side . The soft fur feeling rather nice under his hand .
"The weird thing is, I never regretted the marriage . My first thought was to protect Raina and get back to you . " Kyera admitted feeling a bit shy about it . She had never expected him to mean so much to her . Clovis slid his arm around her and hugged her Tigress Form one armed .
