Scattered Scents
01-13-2014, 03:14 AM
The silence settled over them like a cloak. The sounds of the ocean and the air of gulls around them, and soon the sound of Mercianne's voice when she thanked him, the only sounds that could be heard...along with the sound of his beating heart. It had begun to grow louder, beating faster the more time he spent around the white fae. And when he went as far as to give her a comforting touch, his heart began to race further. He hoped she wouldn't be able to hear it, but the possibilities of that were slim. That is, until she would press into him. It surprised him, that she would press into his form for more contact. He had been frightened before, that perhaps she would reject his touch for the fact that she had a mate. And in the time that he had known her, Knight had been respectful enough to keep his distance in an attempt by trying not to let his feelings show. Granted it was hard for him, but it was also something he had been used to from past things. He was a quiet man, but very devoted. Upon meeting Mercianne, he had decided to follow her. To be her Guardian. To protect her and her children. He would always be there for her, and he hoped she would let him. Without hesitation, he would hold her close in a warm embrace. Not refusing her touch nor her comfort. He'd close his eyes for a brief moment, taking in the warmth that her soft fur and warm body offered. Was she feeling the same as he? Or was it just a display of gratitude for his friendship? He did what he could for her, ensuring she ate and making sure she was getting rest. He knew she was worried about her children, and truth be told he was worried for them too even though he hadn't really gotten a chance to meet them. He would still continue his quest to find Kestrel, Mercianne's only daughter and bring her home safely. And if need be, he would go out in the world to find the rest. He would walk until his paws bled, and he would search until he was dead. He wanted to devote himself to her, and remain by her side whether she asked for it or not. Even in silence, even if she so chose to be with someone else. He would always remain nearby. Truth be told, he was falling in love with her. And no matter what happened, he always would. "You don't need to keep feeding me." The words would not surprise him, instead he had been expecting her to say something such as that. With a gentle lick to her crown, he pulled his head away slightly to look at her with kind green optics. "I'm not doing it because I have to." He told her, giving her cheek a gentle nuzzle followed by a smile. "I...just want to take care of you." He'd murmur to her gently, his heart beat starting to go at a fast pace once again. Could he confess to her now? Let her know how he felt? He wanted her to know..."Mercianne...I-" As soon as he would begin, a voice broke through. Knight turned his head to see a figure racing towards them, stepping away from her a few paces, he watched as a young pup came running towards them. Not far off, a white she-wolf that he had not met before. And soon after, another child would suddenly appear, calling for his mother as he too, joined her. The howl of one called through the air, Knight turned towards the sound. Had another child made it as well? "normal. talk. think. you" |
