Wrath of the Gods

They were so close and yet... their fur doesn't touch. She can feel the tension electrify between them. What was so bothersome that he couldn't... wouldn't embrace her? Studying his expression, Delphi knew something was off. Can see it by the way there is a new injury on his head, how he sits inches away, how his gaze averts to the ground. Her brow furrows further as her ears begin to fold backward. What had he done now? Strai was no stranger to trouble, but this seemed different.

When he begins to speak, Delphi doesn't let her gaze leave him. So far, his words meant nothing. If he had pushed Spider in, that was between them, not her. Strai mentions hitting his head and her heart strains. Was he okay? Did he need aid? Her emotions swirl, rising before falling, a rage now settling in her chest. Kissed him? Spider... had... kissed... Strai? He gives her no room to burst at the seams as his words quicken. He wanted to be honest? To let her know what had happened? Confusion replaces the rage. She wants to hit him, to kick him out, to banish him to another realm. Was he being honest? Or was he lying? Blame it all on Spider? She had no reason not to trust him. Their relationship had developed and they had been working on... being nice to each other.

If boundaries had been set then why was she to be mad at Strai? Rather, she had choice words for Spider. She had believed them to be friends and they had gone and kissed her boyfriend! Trembling, Delphi remains silent. What was she to say? Clenching her teeth together, she holds back the emotion and tears that fight to reveal themselves. No, she would be strong. She wouldn't be weak. She would be the bigger wolf.

"I have every inkling to smack the shit out of you right now," her voice is terse as she speaks through those clenched teeth. Yet, she wasn't his keeper and wasn't going to keep him from his... their friends. Sucking in a deep breath before releasing it slowly, she shakes her head softly. Be the bigger wolf, yes. "I...," she hesitates, her eyes glistening as her resolve is shaky. "Thank you for being honest," Delphi whispers now as she leans forward and closes those last few inches between them. Resting her cheek on his chest is the only thing keeping her from actually ripping a toe off this time.

"Delphi" & "Strai"
