Roan didn’t miss the shock in her eyes as she reacted to his second proclamation, he’d made up his mind. He was set, and it was going to take a lot to get him to change his mind. He could see that she was studying him, trying to decide if he meant what he’d just said. She told him she’d accept his gift proudly, there was no hard rejection. Roan relaxed further and sighed softly into her side. She returned his affections and pressed herself beneath his chin. He tilted his muzzle so he could kiss her forehead as she spoke uncertainly. Was this too fast? Was something going to happen?
