Chick Chat

Walk | Talk | Think

To her surprise and relief, Meili did not take her sudden admission of feelings and secrets badly. Instead she smiled on understandingly, making no comment on anything until Ashtoreth had requested it, and as she answered she too lowered herself to join the grey wolf upon the ground, an unexpected solidarity felt within the motion. If anything, Ash could at least say she felt better for having said what was on her mind. It had bothered her so long that even this pinprick in her defenses had unleashed the torrent she had been holding back, and poor Meili was being a trooper by dealing with it all without rolling her eyes or poking fun. It seemed as if she had very suddenly gained a new friend, a new confidant, very quickly here.

Her answer was simple enough as well, though the words rang like some haunting death knell in the Hunter's ears. She did like him, didn't she? And as Meili gave her shoulder a gentle poke she released another quiet groan. Damn it. Love bug did sound right. As much as she wished it to be otherwise, she was quite certain she...loved Leon. Staring away, unable to meet Meili's blue eyes as she offered her own bit of advice, Ashtoreth listened to it all still with a strong look of distress about her. Follow your heart. Easier said than done in her opinion. She had no idea how to even remotely begin to bring up a subject like this with Leon let alone proceed through the conversation without chickening out before reaching the end.

"Easy for you to say," she eventually mumbled, half moody and half still overwhelmed by the predicament she found herself in. Resting her head upon her outstretched paws, she shifted her gold and purple eyes upward to glance at Meili. "You don't have this problem," she added, unaware of the differing troubles that plagued her friend. Unknowingly she opened up the ground for the blue-eyed wolf to confess her own problems, though for the time being she merely thought her comment might make Meili reconsider the overall easy-in-theory advice.
