i'm not gonna write you a -good title-

Venom could easily put her doubts of the past behind her and more easily look forward with Plague as the two of them sat quietly and discussed the future before them. The Empress was at her brother’s beck and call, she would do anything to see his happiness. He was one of the few blood ties that remained steadfast and loyal. There weren’t many other ways for her to show her appreciation besides her support in absolutely any way.

There wasn’t much she could do for Plague with her paws tied like so. He refused to do anything that the freed woman would be uncomfortable with. Maybe their tender hearts were something to be ashamed of, but Venom felt her love blossom even more for her brother at his confession. Forcing the girl into bearing his puppies was the easy way, keeping her trust and gaining her willfulness was the difficult path.

Plague had another idea beyond holding the woman down and forcing her, he looked a little brighter as he spoke. He asked to bring her into the fold of Ashen, treat her well, give her a home, and perhaps she would be brought around to convincing. ”I would welcome her here in a heartbeat, surrogate or not.” Anyone Plague sought entrance into Ashen, as long as they were no longer bursting at the seams he could have whatever his heart desired.
