So Scary

When Anais looked up at his approach, he would catch the heat in her cheeks that told him he had caught her somewhat off guard. His own lips quirked upward and he found himself wondering what was going through her mind. He hadn't a chance yet to catch her scent, with the distance between them and the wind in her favor. It was probably for the best at the moment, he was better off with a clear head and the absence of awkwardness that might bring with it.

Anais's eyes didn't move from the gift and he saw in her eyes unshod tears, that brought a brightness to her golden expression. His heart melted, and his resolve to give her space nearly disintegrated when a few drops leaked free. He didn't need to move, as she closed some of the distance between them, putting herself in position to admire her gift. He watched her as she touched the surface with a delicate paw, before she took another step closer and pushing her muzzle into his neck. He smiled and tilted his head so it pressed against her own neck, taking in a breath of that alluring scent. It was a subtle smell, yet powerful, full of life and sweet things, everything that Anais was.

“I'm glad you like it” he breathed into her neck, unable to keep himself from pressing his nose into her coat. He would go no further then that, pushing back the thoughts of her beauty and wonder to concentrate on her voice and words. His lips parted in a chuckle at her last sentence “Your gift is your smile” he promised her, his head still leaning against her and his eyes slipped closed. It was always so wonderful to be in her presence, when nothing but her fulled his senses. Of course, the scent of her was also making him a little dizzy and perhaps even more sentimental then he normally was with her. It was always hard to tell, when it overpowered his senses. He sighed, and took a step back, shifting his nose in the direction of the water to give himself a clear breath and clearer mind. He grinned at her sheepishly then, no doubt she had noticed his movements. “Are you taking a break from hunting? You deserve one, your single-handedly feeding the pack judging by how much of the kill in the stash is yours” he teased.
