You got me good
He didn't dare turn her way as Kimahri spoke. Instead, he kept his head turned. He wasn't sure how to feel about this...like a failure? Ashamed? He had fought his hardest and he had lost against someone likely less experienced. Then again, he wasn't quite sure of his cousins abilities. For all he knew, she could have surpassed the red alpha in fighting prowess. She certainly fought with the heart and tenacity of a true warrior, enough to beat him. Then again, he didn't consider himself a great fighter. Still...he could not name what he felt, but he had not the time to keep dwelling on it. He flinched slightly when she pressed against him. He shook his head at her words, "No need to apologize," He murmured, looking at her when she assured him that she was here to stay. He nodded, offering a smile as his doubts melted away.
"Thank you, Iskra. I know we had our own paths to follow, but I have to admit that I am glad our paths have crossed again." He nuzzled her cheek, turning around and motioning towards the pack lands. He wanted to show her his beloved lands, he wanted to share with her all that he enjoyed. Though he would be thrust into darkness soon, Iskra seemed to be the light that flickered in that coming darkness. She would be his flame. "I think maybe standing around the borders is getting boring. It's late, and there are a few things we might discuss before turning in for the night? You must be tired from your travels." He glanced at her, brushing her shoulder with his as he led her through the plains. He would give her time to speak before he continued. After all, he was beginning to feel flustered again and couldn't decide if he oughta act like an official alpha or as...well...a lovestruck yearling. |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
