Steal my breath away: Seren

She was quick to confirm the goodness of her pack and he could see her love for Valhalla in her honesty. She seemed to realise a moment later how he had compared them to her and with a flush of warm colour she added "I mean, they're good wolves - a family." It was hard to pull his attention from her again, something about her captivated him and he found himself swallowing, hard as she flicked aside his comment of his family with one of her own, hinting that his life was important.. to her? He couldn't fathom why the life of a rogue would interest this princess.

She had him in the palm of her paws and likely didn't even know it. Now he could understand how she could be a princess, her presence wasn't commanding per say, but it was filled with a warmth that could make any of her pack love and follow her.

More of her mystery unravelled before him as he understood she had not lived her life entirely within the borders of a pack. Perhaps it explained how she could be comfortable walking into the presence of a rogue, she had lived her life as one once as she searched for her family. It took him a moment to realise the 'no' had been to his question of a suitor and a fluttering in his stomach unnerved him. He realised he had filled her words with a silence of his own and opened his maw then to speak.
?Your family, did you find them??
He wanted to know and hoped that she had, it was not easy to leave the fate of family unknown.
He should have expected her next question, and he was caught in the question for a moment. Something about her brought out an honesty in him and the simple answer 'no' felt like an omission. But.. there was no lady on his mind he had left behind his family and here he had no friends. A lady on his mind.. was there?
?I'm only acquainted with one lady, and she stand before me now. ?
It wasn't quite an answer, but it was all he could bring himself to say.
