Aptitude test

Venom wrapped her white gloved paws around his neck, had Maverick been prepared for her sudden weight he wouldn’t have toppled over with her like he did. Taken off guard, as made obvious by his sudden exclamation as they went tumbling towards the ground. The Empress very nearly outmatched him, but his weight landed just right on her thin frame that he pinned her completely beneath him. She squealed unprofessionally, as the sound shifted to an almost excited giggle as she surrendered beneath Maverick’s weight. Venom didn’t have to throw the fight, he’d won but just by the skin of his teeth. That fact absolutely thrilled her.

She didn’t release her hold on his neck, and her sunset eyes lifted to find his vibrant teal gaze as her lips pulled back into a devious grin. "You’ve defeated the Ashen Empress, Ruffian.” She whispered, deepening tones lingering in her soft voice as she lifted a slender paw to his cheek affectionately. "What will you do now?” Venom feigned worry in her expression, but this was yet another show of her trust in him. Taking and accepting the wager he’d first proposed.
