Esarosa was happy to just stand there with him, enjoying his embrace even though they had work to get done - it could wait. She could stand here all day with him. But then, of course, she had wanted answers to her question, so now she moved from his embrace so that she could face him and talk properly. The warmth she'd felt just moments ago seemed to melt away as she watched his face change, which in turn caused the slightest frown to tug at the edges of her lips. Oh no, I should have just kept my mouth shut, the thoughts raced through her mind, almost causing her to miss his response, He's going to think it's too serious now... he doesn't want to commit that much. He'll just leave now, won't he?

When his voice reached her ears, her thoughts stopped whirling, and she focused for a moment. He hadn't thought about it before... she tried to breathe calmly. She supposed she hadn't thought of it much before, either, but the desire in her was growing out of seemingly nowhere. Well, not out of nowhere. She knew it was because of how she felt about him. It just felt natural for her - she wanted him to be her mate, and she wanted that to blossom further. Her hormones tugged at her, begged her to take the next step, especially with spring just around the corner. Her ears folded back at the thought that maybe he hadn't reached that point yet - would he, or was it just wishful thinking? "I'm not sure I can imagine myself being a father." Was that all it was? Was it that he doubted himself, or was it that such a thing had never occurred to him? Perhaps he just wasn't interested in being a family-figure at all. Doubt and worry flooded her mind.

When he finally asked her why, looking very uncomfortable, she met his ruby red gaze for a moment, trying to muster up a smile. But she couldn't, so instead she just looked to the entrance of the cave he'd found. She wanted to just brush it off and act like she'd never said anything, but if she did that, she was sure they'd never talk about it again. "I guess I've thought about it a little," she murmured, tail swishing by her hocks as she forced herself to look up at him again, "I think I want to start a family... with you, Steel. I guess I hoped that you'd want to, too..." The last bit of her sentence came quietly, ending in just barely a whisper - but the peaceful silence surrounding them would allow him to hear her. She had never wanted to freak him out, but now that she had started the subject, she needed to let him know what was on her mind. She couldn't hide it, and she just had to know if he could handle it. Would the pressure be too much? Was she just moving too fast? She didn't want to believe that it was too fast... she just wanted to be happy with him, and for him to want it, too.
