Upon initial contact, he had been gentle- uncertain. Not wanting to pressure her into something that she didn’t want … but also the victim of his own selfish desire. However, as seconds went on and he felt her answer, his control threatened to slip. His grip tightened where he held her, pulling her in as the encounter slipped toward becoming a more passionate one. He was only vaguely aware of the paw that had come to rest against his chest- or at least until she used it to press distance between them. As they broke, panting heavily, he fought the urge to pull her back in. His initial reflex was a possessive one that wanted to claim her in a sort of ravenous hunger, and it was only due to his waning rational thought that he was granted hesitance. In the short distance between them, he didn’t pull away himself, but he lingered in her space blinking between a look of concern and wanting. Stay with me tonight. Something akin to excited suspense turned in his stomach as the hackles along his spine began to subtly rise with anticipation. It was hard to process thoughts, caught up in the heat of the moment. Aresenn wanted to forget talking altogether and answer her by pressing on. But he knew this was an important moment for them both, but especially for her. “… Are you sure?” Aresenn answered in a breathlessly heavy tone. He certainly was, and the selfish part of him didn’t want to allow her the opportunity to reconsider. But as they crossed a threshold, he didn’t want to leave any room for doubt or any further second-guessing. As the seconds passed and he managed a more adequate amount of oxygen, the world around him came back into focus. He looked up and noticed that the snow had stopped falling, and the thick clouds that had loomed overhead were now starting to break apart, giving way to streaks of evening sky. He realized that amidst their intense conversation, he had been completely unaware of the transition. Perhaps it might be a clear night after all as time went on. Wouldn’t that be nice? “How do you feel about sleeping under an open sky?” He asked, with a smirk that threatened to turn his lip. e didn't need to turn his head to survey the surroundings - he knew instinctively that he could set up a campsite in the nearby woods with ease. A small part of him secretly hoped that she would agree, as there was an undeniable pull to avoid the bustling heart of Armada's territory. For privacy if nothing else. |
