Ears flicking, Lovatt inclined his head slightly at the congratulations, taking a long moment to answer her. "Thank you," The large male rumbled, "They are not too late," He added a moment later, "We have only recently become mates." It hadn't been long, though it felt like an eternity and like a moment all at once. Was that what love was supposed to be? He had built her up to a pedestal during his years of wandering, but she had fit onto it perfectly, settling with surprising grace upon that pedestal. Her words were met with another slight nod on Lovatt's part. "I know I've surprised myself several times." He muttered, half to himself. And he had. When he'd thrown himself into the water without thought for his own safety after his father, that had surprised him. And the realization that he would never let something like that happen to a wolf he cared about again had been surprising, but what had shocked him most of all was the thought that honestly, he wouldn't have cared if it was a stranger. Oh, that had been a shock. Ears twitching, Lovatt shook his head slightly as she began to speak once more. "A great many, I'm sure. Of varying degrees of 'goodness' too, I suppose." Surely some packs were not the kind place in which he'd been raised. And Amenti he knew had darker inclinations, but it was its foundations that he cared about, not the way that it leaned. "My mind is at ease," He agreed absently, "Though I'm less sure about deserving it." He had let his father drown. His pack had died and he hadn't been there. Did he deserve any sort of peace in his life? But the next topic brought up was an easier one for Lovatt. He seemed to perk up, tension melting from his frame as thoughts of Morgan filled his mind. "She is beautiful, and yet that isn't the most important thing about her. She's kind, she thinks of others first. Despite the hardships that she has endured, she is still strong." Here he paused, twitching his ears as he snorted softly. "But what about you, Aeil? Do you have anyone . . . ah, special? In your life?' Surely a wolf as pretty as her did. The dark fae caught the changes in Lovatt's persona - his tone and the way he side-stepped looking at her. Aeil didn't mind; she figured that he had something on his mind and didn't want to dwelve into it. Only just meeting each other was one of the reasons she didn't think about getting nosy. The only thing she asked was, "Your mate, Lovatt...what is she like? I'm sure married life is a joy that you keep close to your heart." Speech, |
