She shook her head. That was all. He knows... Víðarr knows. A shaky sigh and a dip of his head, he nearly turns away the moment she does. The movements are mirrored. She freezes. So does he. Caught at a crossroads, with his heart pounding in his chest. Emotions have never made much sense to him, and words neither. Still, there was something that hung in the balance here between them. Something important. Something that he couldn't just walk away from, though he was yet to admit that. The weight of Tove's sigh is one that he can feel in his own chest. A tug, a pull that he can feel too. There was something about fate's golden thread that had put him here, back in her path. Back where he could see her, and back where he could touch her. Maybe it's touch that was the most damning of all. For all the things that he doesn't understand, Víðarr understands touch twice as well. As long as he could rely on the physical, he didn't need words. Tove knows that too. Though Víðarr couldn't hurt her, he knows that it's not what she wants. This is something different than that. This is a search for understanding. He only nods once, the feeling in his chest indescribable. Tense, on edge, and yet bursting. There was anticipation here. A desire to prove himself. Desire in other ways, and so much more. Far beyond that. Víðarr himself doesn't understand and doesn't need to. With one long stride forward, and then another, and with one more he's closed the physical gap between them. When the dogs make as if to move with him, the shadow offered only a deep, resonating growl from low within his chest. This was for him and him alone. With a confident strike, Víðarr reaches to grab the woman around the shoulders, to spring upon her and take control of the situation. It is bold, brazen, but the shadow is a confident beast. Still, his teeth remain well clear of Tove's smaller frame, only snapping in the air to the side of her face. There was no malice, no. If Víðarr had something to prove, then he was going to make a show of it.
