say you will

Had the pack not endured such a tragedy so recently Iroh would have tried to seek Elise out again himself in the next few days. He really couldn’t get enough of her, and the more he thought of her sparkling eyes the more certain he became in what he wanted to see in the future. The near future. He didn’t know how much time he’d have, but he realized more than ever that it wasn’t unlimited. He could be taken at any time and he didn’t want to leave behind any unfinished business.

Like Elise, he kept wanting to come back to Elise, like there wasn’t enough to satiate him. It seemed that fate planned to reunite them once again, and like the first time they met Elise appeared from the bush to join in his fire. This time she didn’t hesitate at the opposing side instead she made her way beside him. ”You don’t enjoy it?” He chuckled teasingly in return as she leaned against him and relaxed.

Iroh was slightly surprised at how much he was able to relax against her in return. He knew how she made him feel when they were together, but he hadn’t realized just how much he’d missed her beside him. He leaned into her and tilted his head slightly so he might brush her muzzle softly. Being intimate with her was near natural at this point, a unique facet of their relationship. He felt the familiar warmth of desire build in his belly and he knew nothing had changed.

Tonight held a sense of finality that he hadn’t fully grasped at first. He hadn’t planned to throw his plans in to motion so quickly, but if she denied him Iroh would have to quit her. Something he loathed to do. ”Do you think its bad that I missed you?” He started as he moved up from her muzzle to her cheek softly, and then he nuzzled into the soft fur at her ear. ”Craved you.” He amended himself.
