don't turn away now

he did not reject her simple and innocent advance. in fact, he pulled her to him gently. something deep inside stirred, something that had been there previously but had been etched in webbing. or even ice. that something broke free of it smoothly, untangling or melting in its own way. she hadn't been held in so long. that realization hurt almost as much as her wounds - but she could take it. she always had. "I don't want to leave you" Heloise whispered softly, closing her eyes tightly shut "and I am not. I do this for you, so your vision thrives" Acere knew only too well what a crowded pack would be like. it had grown expertly to bursting size. "I would be close by, so you may then swoop down and save me again when you feel like it."
a joke, perhaps? she'd chuckle against his thick fur. she did not mind being saved by him, even if she was a proud woman who could stand on her own. this was not the end of their tale. she would make sure of it. Heloise only just obtained him; she was loathe to leave him be after that. especially after his words, his acceptance and daresay his love. Acere would pull back, looking deep into her icy gaze. she'd offer a weak yet happy smile. little pin-pricks of tears streaked her eyes. "there is still time to change my mind, Acere. if you truly don't want me to go... I will not go" she only considered leaving due to her feelings and keeping them professional. to hear that he valued her and treasured her was enough to keep her within the walls of the pack. "I will stay with you."
