She seemed upset with him, despite his apology. Bronze was not an expert at figuring out the emotions of others, especially those that he was close to. Brown eyes were soft and startlingly understanding as he watched her, completely unsure of how she might react to his apology. Before he knew it, she began speaking. Her words were harsher than he expected, and the brute's ears flattened against his skull as he took them in. "Do you hate me? ... Am I your substitute for something?" Eyes narrowed, gaze falling to his forepaws. A low growl seemed to bubble up within his very chest, as though he was disgusted by her words, but the bitter sound faded almost as quickly as it began to fall from his lips. "I will never hate you," he answered simply, his voice void of warmth, or annoyance. It was painfully empty, as he gathered his composure and wondered how to answer her without losing her all together. "You are not a burden to me. Loccian, I am not the kind of wolf to simply deal with someone out of kindness. I spend time with you because I care for you." Muzzle raised a bit to watch her, but lowered again, as though he was afraid to look in her eyes. "I have been distant because I fear that you've grown attached to me. You deserve someone who can devote their heart to you. Mine has always been taken -- and my mate has returned. I have found her." He clenched his jaw, muscles visibly rippling in his face. None of it had been planned, but fate had its own plans it seemed. "I want to help and support you, endlessly, as a friend." If she could give him that much. If not, he wasn't sure what he would do. But his choice had been made, evident by the solemn look in his dark brown eyes that watched her with visible hesitance. "I care for you, truly, and don't want you to ever feel like a burden to me." |
