Discoveries and more

His face didn't betray him. She was just as puzzled as she was perplexed. He finally fixed it with the next few words, "My girl... you have finally led me closer to what is mine..." A blink. She did? Who was it then? It didn't smell like his lover though. Her brows cam together in confusion. Then her eye went to the blood splatter and she gave it a small sniff, Archnemes stench was heavy in it. Perhaps one of Aryn's lackeys? Or a slave taker?

She swore the scent might be even the one she had heard commotion about once. He had been the one that always wanted the favored toys. She stood though and was about to move away from the site of this confusion when he made a word come out and her body froze with shock on her face as her eye went between the fur clump and him. "Morningstar..." Wasn't that his lover's last name? Is that what he had meant? The sound of the goat hitting the ground didn't even break her shock.

She had done something useful? And it was on complete accident. Was he going to throw her away soon? Would he kill her when they found his lover? Before it had been a pipe dream, something unachievable and inconceivable that she ever find what he wanted her to. "Fill your belly my little Kitten. We have a hunt before us. What happened here?" His voice finally broke her stupor. But it was already too late. The tears that had at least stopped were now flowing again. Why the fuck did it matter to her if he found this wolf? Why did it hurt like this? Why was she crying at every little fucking thing. She knew she was feeling moody but god damn.

Then her thoughts shut down for a minute. Puking at smells, crying and the other day happy for no reason. Math she needed to do math. She was throwing her satchel down and ripping her book out in an instant flipping to a page, it really didn't matter which. The volcano drawing in her eye sight but the next thing was the pencil. She was tallying it then. How long since the hot springs? Tally after tally went down as she counted the days. Then she was dropping the pencil. More shock. She hadn't thought it would happen. That he wasn't going to get anywhere with just the three times they had lain together. She stood there staring at the paper, trying to redo the math over and over and to prove herself wrong. He said he wanted to use her to breed, but would he be pleased? Excited? Love her for it just the same as she was loving him?
