we'll be fine

"Ha!"

Cheek again! Wren growled a bit more forcefully, but all in good fun. Mercury let her come at him, and he retaliated. A hefty paw was wrapped around her back before he shoved her back. She was more or less dangling for a bit, letting out a startled yelp as she fell backward into his 'arms'. The yelp turned into a huff as she placed a paw against his chest, pushing him away.

He'd grown up. He's not a kid anymore. He's a man. Big, strong... Kinda cute. Wait, no. Don't think that.
Kinda hard not to when he was dipping her princess-style.
You're not a princess who needs to be saved!

Wren realized she had been staring at his blue eyes a bit. Starting, she began to push again. "Okay, fine. I concede!" she lamented dramatically "I'll just slink back to Armada, tail between my legs. Woe to Alpha Wren, who couldn't keep her pack from an ambitious prince!" She sighed, rolling her head back and 'pretending' to die.

Her tongue even stuck out.

"Speech"
