say you will

He shifted her easily and Elise made herself comfortable on his broad chest returning his affectionate little kisses as they both reveled in the newness of their relationship. Her soft hums as she thought about his question were adorable and only further endeared her to him. He smiled as she finally spoke, seemingly easy to please for the most part. Freedoms were the top of her list and Iroh didn’t forsee any problems with that request. He could come and go as he pleased as long as his responsibilities were seen to. Perhaps she’d get assigned a scouting role, and he wondered how good she might be at crafting, brewing, or even pottery.

”You are quite the talented lover.” Iroh agreed teasingly as he squeezed her affectionately. Of course that talent wouldn’t be useful to anyone in the pack but himself, but that was the point right? He fell hard for Elise, and he wanted her to be the one he raised up his children with. His expression grew more serious as she spoke of her father and the accomplishments she had made so far. Iroh’s list wasn’t much better but he had excelled in the raid against his home. He hadn’t driven the Armada off on his own and they’d lost but he’d done what he could. Tamsyn certainly wouldn’t ever forget him. That wasn’t entirely because of his battle prowess but he didn’t want to think about her and what had happened between them.

Iroh wanted to focus completely on his new love. His new partner. ”I’m proud of you.” He promised, blue and lavender eyes gazing up at her adoringly as her paw caressed his cheek. She was taking a giant leap, she was giving up everything she had ever known for him. ”I’m thrilled that I get to share my life with you, and that I get to prove how much I love you.” He told her softly. ”We’ll find a perfect place for you in Aerie, but I think the best spot will be beside me.” Iroh chuckled with a light hearted grin. ”We can spend the night here together, in the morning I’ll introduce you to Eligos, my cousin and alpha.”
