Hanako exhaled a lungful of air she hadn't even realised she'd been holding in. Azure stepped back just as the rain clouds followed through on their threat, a light pitter-patter at first before becoming increasingly persistent. Hard to ignore. Hanako made a face, clearly displeased with the turn of events. So this was how it was then? Even now Azure struggled against her, denying them both in one fell swoop, but as she stood there with her gaze wandering back to the willows she didn't feel quite so...dejected. It just wasn't the same. He wasn't denying her out of some misguided sense of propriety nor had he shoved her aside the moment she got too close, it was so much better than before; a slow drip of what could be. Beyond that, Hanako knew an heir's work was never done and that now wasn't really the time or place. He wasn't saying no, just not now.
Hanako supposed she could stomach that. For now.
Offering him a side glance with her muzzle still slanted away, Hanako couldn't hold back a smile as he pointed out the obvious. There was no shame in it, if anything it was a small victory to hear him say it aloud, to cement it as fact, something he could not take back. Not that she would allow such thing, not without a fight. She sighed again but it was soft, at ease and content, even the rain didn't bother her so much any more. Being smitten was a very charming look on him and Hanako was greedy, her ears tilted forward to drink in every drop of praise. The best sort of truth that had remained unspoken for far too long and would do well to be repeated like a mantra, over and over till Hanako had her fill.
He kissed her and Hanako returned the affection without any thought, real earnest as she dipped down just a little to offer submissive licks to underside of his muzzle. She would defer to his judgement, gladly handing over the reins even if only to see what he did with them.
"Good. Smart man." Even with her show of submission she couldn't help but return his jest in return. She'd always enjoyed banter. And then a sigh, she ought to leave him be for now, even if the thought of leaving his side made her sour. "You know where to find me, my love." She finished with a sultry purr, turning on her heel as she pushed her way through the grass.
Make of what he will of that.
