just forget the world

Hattori pulled back by a breath to let out an amused rumble, she was doing well in her language lessons but she still had a long way to go. Still he understood what she meant and that was enough for him. He wouldn't ask any more of her, not here and not now.  As he pulled his paw back to reposition himself he felt a slight prick as his ankle caught against the quills hidden beneath her fur. Venom was many things but to describe her as weak and dainty were wholly inaccurate, a fact her enemies would one day be made aware of whether they liked it or not. And that's what drew him into her was the fact that she stood out on her own and was willing to get her paws dirty, as opposed to sitting pretty on an alabaster throne.

And she was to be his wife.

"And you have mine." He responded in kind, the words rumbling from his lips with a natural and fluent ease. The words came easier in his native tongue."Till the day I die."

Then he kissed her again, closing his eyes to the luminous glow that filled the caverns around them. Darkness met light, orange blended with white and all things were as they meant to be on this cold and lonely night.
