Breathless

Quote:

She would listen to him laugh, letting the moment flutter and calm before he spoke. His response was appreciated, there were many things that could go wrong with the move - but she felt it was the best thing to do. "They will find us, I'm sure. But when they do we'll be ready." The alpha was sure of at least that much - she had thought through defensive measures, and strategically speaking, an island was a good bet. They would see them coming before they hit the shore.



The woman would fall silent though, when he admitted to Seracia not coming for him. He had been stuck in Glaciem for a while, the fact that they had not contacted the ice king surprised her. Yet on the other hand... "You were my responsibility, you and Bronze and Pontifex... they didn't send for you because I'm the one that got you captured. You were fighting for Valhalla." They probably didn't want Seracia to be actively involved - as far as Glaciem knew, Seracia was neutral with them - and it was the smart thing to do to keep things that way. Yet... she had not done the smart thing in marching straight up to Glaciem and requesting a trade. She could have been killed up there... but she would do it again in a heartbeat. It was her duty as an alpha, she was to fight for those that were imprisoned if there was no other option... even if she should fail, should lose an eye, or worse.



Yet when she went there, when she saw him, she knew that it wasn't those feelings alone that brought her to Glaciem's doorstep. "But even if you weren't I still would have gone after you. And if you hadn't have gotten yourself out I would have fought for you." He was more than a soldier to her, he was a friend. She would smile when he mentioned the north, and grin as he puffed his chest up to look more manly. With a snicker she would nudge him with her shoulder, just hard enough for him to have to balance himself and deflate a bit. "Manly indeed." Although the woman would hold back her laughter, her tail would wag behind her.



"You know - we're moving south, it's never cold there." Oh if only she could take him with her. Although what scared her, was that if she asked him, he would probably do just that. "Thank you for coming Themisto." She always enjoyed his company. "I didn't lose as much as I could have. I consider myself lucky." The alpha would almost laugh, this eye of hers was a nuisance, but the more she lived with it, the easier it would be to make due with what she had. What would pull a touch of laughter from her, would be when her wagging tail brushed past his own stubby one. He was just too sweet.
