They were so close, she could feel his breath as it passed over the short fur of her muzzle. Azure seemed to tense and then he was pulling away. Venom didn’t move, she retained her sphynx like pose as she swallowed her stomach and her heart threatened to beat out of her chest. She could understand the feeling, and couldn’t argue with his assessment of the situation she was putting him in. Venom wished the answer would have been an easy one, but as his gaze searched hers she could push him no further. He was young, and perhaps she shouldn’t have been as spontaneous.

”Of.. Of course.” She lifted her head into the semblance of grace as she carefully kept her gaze from his features. This encounter had been many things and none of them were expected. Venom had as much to think about as the young Prince did. ”I’m sorry. It’s easy to forget how much of an age difference there is between us.” He and Aslatiel were incredibly mature for their age, but moments like this shed too much light.

She looked back down to the basket of honey, nearly forgotten after their long talk. ”Would you like some more honey?” She still couldn’t quite meet his eyes, suddenly feeling self conscious. Venom tried to ignore the slew of emotions inside, and couldn’t deny that he had to be feeling similarly. ”You can take it with you if you want to get back, I understand.” She offered graciously, offering him an easy way out. All she could do now was hope their next meeting was just as exciting as this.
