Guess what our plans are!

Her comment elicited a gentle chuckle from him. It wasn't much of a surprise that she was bounding off somewhere already, and he wondered if the fact that they were slowly growing less protective of her was a good thing or not. On one paw, if they stifled her too much she would likely only rebel even more.. but seeing her go off on her own more often wasn't totally pleasant either. "Wait, are you implying I'm old and slow or something? Easily worn out?" Though he grinned, there was truth to his words. He knew they could only run after her for so long, physically speaking - and the last thing he wanted to do was chase her away from them by being too overbearing.

He rose a single eyebrow at her words. Something more exciting, hm? "Go on.." Zephyr encouraged his mate, and she didn't hesitate in explaining. Apparently Caelum had volunteered them - or, well, him, rather - to help teach the members of Abaven how to fight. He tried not to cringe too visibly at the thought. Once, in his younger years, he would've jumped at the opportunity, but he wasn't sure how much he had to offer. Oh, what the hell. Deep down he knew he had plenty to offer them but it felt strange nonetheless. But he was in a good mood, and saying no to Caelum had always been remarkably hard for him even after so many years. "How about.. tomorrow afternoon, if I'm being forced to?" He shrugged, forcing a smile. After a second he decided the only fitting retaliation was to place a sloppy, wet kiss right on her nose. Might as well annoy her a bit if she was going to volunteer him for things without even checking if it was okay first..
