somewhere only we know

Saying that he was excited would have been an understatement. Joy and anticipation thrummed through the redwood brute. He had made his choice. The sister and alpha had been convinced. Now he was here to woo the woman that he was determined to call his. He could see her out there as he hid behind a particularly dense chunk of thicket. They weren't terribly far from where he and Poem had spent the night together, telling stories. It was fitting that this was where he and Theory would surprise her.

Ruby eyes watched as Poem sat close to Theory. His heart still danced every time that he saw her. This woman... and what a woman she was... did such crazy things to him. Things that no being ever had. She elicited such feeling within him that, if she were to reject him, he would surely die. Poem was absolutely beautiful to look at, but her beauty ran so much deeper than her appearance. She was good. She was so sweet and pure and selfless. She loved her family and was devoted to them. Because of this, Sparhawk would devote himself to them as well. He would protect everything that she held dear and in return, she need only protect his heart.

As Theory spoke of new members, Sparhawk prepared himself. They had discussed his entrance and now was the time. He noted the subtle repositioning of the young alpha and was glad that Theory was excited for this reveal as well. Though young, he had instantly felt a sense of respect for the Bob-tailed woman. It would be easy to live beneath her rule.

Sparhawk stepped from the brush, offering a nod to Theory before giving the object of his affection his full attention. He didn't want to embarrass her so he didn't immediately rush forward and sweep her into his embrace. Instead he moved to sit beside her, his striped tail sneaking out to curl behind her own as much as he could manage. He hoped that she was excited because he was quite thrilled.
