Careless Whisper

Another mission the powers have called me away
Another time to carry the colors again
My motivation an oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor of coming back home again
This could not be going better if he had planned it all a moon in advance instead of speaking completely off the cuff. He flicked his tail in acknowledgement of her condolences, as though he did not trust his voice in his sorrow. And truly he didn't trust his voice just then, his throat tight with excitement and gloating as she tucked her chin in shyly.
She laughed, speaking of her name and claiming her sister to be the prettier of the two. "Madieke," he repeated, rolling the name on his tongue like a fine wine. "There is nothing plain about you, my girl. You are... exquisite." And, as he studied their reflections in the water, he realized that she truly was - the lines and dots beneath her icy eyes emphasizing them, drawing attention to them. Her slim, delicate body needed no markings to draw the eye, and his gaze lingered as it swept over her. She was just what he wanted.
"What do I see when I look at you?" He turned toward her, one paw rising to her chin, to gently encourage her to look at him. "I see a shy, generous girl who should not have to shoulder the grief her family has given her, always there when her family needed her but abandoned by the very people who claimed to have loved her. A gorgeous, lonely woman who deserves to not be alone anymore. That is what I see when I look at you. Beautiful, perfect, Angel Madieke Black." His voice dropped at the end, a soft, sincere whisper. His paw brushed her cheek gently, then lowered once more to the ground. "There is nothing to be ashamed for about who you are, my girl. It is your family who should be ashamed for not recognizing your worth."
The words he spoke were a shot in the dark, but a shy, insecure girl like this alone when she could be with her family? It was highly unlikely someone like that would venture out on their own voluntarily.
"Speech"

"Speech"
My declaration embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life
A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life
