Puppy Love

Surely they would find a way to make it through this. Epiphron prayed silently that Erani would like Maverick, though she had little doubt that she wouldn't. And then what? She'd have to eventually speak to her father, or Collision -- while she'd never heard of being married outside of the pack, she wasn't sure whether she ever HAD to be married. Could she simply get permission to visit him? Would he ever be welcomed into the lands of Valhalla as a visitor? Even if not, she could work with that.. and if she was expected to marry within the pack, then what? Polygamy didn't settle well in the young girl's brain, but she pushed the thoughts from her mind for now. Everything would work out. It simply had to.

Her sapphire gaze burned with adoration as she observed him, watching emotion visibly wash over his face. It was incredibly exciting to watch how intensely her words could affect him, could bring about emotion in the very core of his being. This kind of power was more thrilling than anything she'd ever experienced -- and she knew very well that the boy laying next to her had the same kind of power over her. No wonder Syrinx had questioned her feelings for him; the strength of the affection she felt for him was overwhelming, but they had only met a handful of times now. But damn what he thought. She was the one doing the feeling, nobody else. Her tail wagged happily behind her, batting at strands of grass that grew tall all around them. No response was needed to his confession, only another simple kiss, placed delicately on his lips.

"Can we meet at the ravine, and take things from there?" She questioned gently, unwilling to let herself feel panicked again, worried that he wouldn't show. They could easily find somewhere to wander, together. "Two weeks is fine. It'll go by fast enough, anyway..." The girl tried to maintain a facade of sureness, unwilling to let her smile fade completely. But around Maverick she couldn't... no, didn't want to hide any of it. Two weeks would go back quickly, she knew, but still it seemed like a lifetime. But she would persevere; she had to. Though he composure still wavered as she realized she really ought to be going. Every second she spent here gave her brother more opportunity to notice her disappearance, and she really was not quite ready to deal with that argument yet.
