peace offering

Just as he was preparing to say screw it and push in to meet her, Hanako's pawsteps sounded dimly from within and he knew she'd made the right decision. He nodded his head, taking a step back from the door to allow her space once she'd exited. It was hard to anticipate what mood his koi wolf would be in or what their next conversation might entail, but as she stepped from her den and yawned, addressing him as she used to... Azure sighed, wishing he could fall for the illusion. Hanako was not one to let go of a grudge, not this easily. "You know I don't require from you formalities." He reminded her gently. It was the only comment he would give to her 'respect', though Azure had a feeling she was mocking him more then anything else. As it was before, he'd give her the choice on how to refer to him.

Az fell into an uncomfortable silence, watching her stretch and willing himself to come up with the right words. What game was she playing, now? Had she truly resigned herself to remaining here, obeying, and eventually returning to her previous post? Or was she feigning obedience and innocence so she could escape to her Sparrow when Azure gave her too much trust and freedom? If only he could see inside her head. He dropped the fish into his paw and held it out to her, giving her another chance to accept the meal. "Lost your taste for fish? Or afraid I've poisoned it?" Az did not disguise the hurt in his voice, but tried to temper it with a shrug. He set his catch down upon a nearby boulder and with one curved claw began plucking up scales. "I'll eat it, then."
