The noise of the pack was deafening, a roar that made Vera sincerely hope that they knew how to control at a future time. If anyone woke up her child at a later date, they are going to be thankful that they are harder to kill than most people. At the moment however, it was muted, in the background. Their support was warming - she couldn't deal without it, but in the face of Brock it was entirely irrelevant. The whole world was entirely irrelevant in the face of Brock.
She melted into his kiss, letting out a soft breath, making a soft sound in the back of her throat, before she was back to just looking at him. Looking at the happiness, the pure joy that was spreading across his face, she felt her own grow. It was an expression that Vera would have given anything to put onto his face - even if it were going to hurt her. Vera wasn't a good person - she wasn't selfless, and she didn't always care about people; she lost control of her wolf on multiple occasions; she hurt people. Her temper was known for being unpredictable and unreasonable. She was both loved and hated - sometimes by the same people. No, Vera Parker wasn't a good person, but for Brock she would be anything, give anything. Maybe it was an unhealthy affliction, she was sure there were people out there who would say that, but the way Vera saw it was, it was just love.
Pure, unaffected, untainted love.
She loved Brock more than she loved herself, more than she loved anything in the world; maybe only Scarlet could rival that affection, that desire that something was more important than herself. It had never quite occurred to her, not even when Brock noticed her in a way that was more than just... Vera the slightly unstable girl who he always had to pick up again, that she could be the one to put that smile that happiness on her face.
She had always been preparing herself for the day when she had to focus on how happy she was for him because she would be dying in pain for herself.
Pulling away from the kiss, she murmured against his lips, "I love you. I always, always always have."
It was an odd silence, that she seemed to pick up amongst the roar. Maybe she only picked it up because she was the one that had been preparing to be that person for so many years - in so many ways, she and Zino had been the same, had both been forgotten, both been dying for attention from the same man who never saw them as anything more than the friend that was there when he needed something. Pulling away from Brock for the moment her eyes turned back to the crowd again, searching out that random silence, the one person who would smile because he had to, but couldn't.
Zino met her gaze with one she knew well. Taking a breath, she nodded slowly, cocking her head to the side. Soundlessly she mouthed one word, "Sorry."
Nodding his head back, he managed a wan smile. That was the best he could give, but it was enough to make Vera feel better for now. She would just have to find him someone better. That was it.
Turning back to Brock she kissed him again, quickly or so it started out to be, but she couldn't not linger, "You have good friends. You know that, right?"
