"I know. I know" Was all that Akkarina could say. She knew that these missions were always putting a strain on Venus' emotions. It was one thing that always stuck with her upon her travels. This time. . . This time was different and Akkarina knew that. Something was really bugging Venus, but she couldn't quite get what was bothering her. "I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. This was very taxing and difficult. I'm back now and I don't plan on leaving any time soon!" Akkarina tried her best to reassure her wonderful wife that all will be okay now. She knew that Venus was very emotional. "I missed you.." The Storm Mother muttered silently so that only Venus would hear; even though they were alone, she felt the need to say it in that manner.

Akkarina cupped Venus' face as the woman tried to fight back tears. The salty pools of liquid were not visible but could be felt by Akkarina and this caused her heart to drop. Slowly and lightly, Akkarina placed kisses upon her wife's forehead, cheeks, and finally her lips. Before offering her a smile and several kisses to her eyes to kiss away the tears. What Venus didn't expect, Akkarin had been teaching Akkarina to show more affection and softness; he was always that type and wanted to help Akkarina in all aspects her her own life. It was an essential part of their training as well. "So, tell me what I missed."
