gentleman's honor

Ever true to her nature, Raisa quickly dismissed his attempt at apologizing, letting him know that exercise was good for her. He couldn't imagine how exhausted she must get, but even in such a state he didn't imagine she wanted to lay around all day. He watched her relax into the earth, probably too worn out to pick a precise spot to lay down. It didn't matter to him what she did, so long as she was comfortable - and those kids didn't come rocketing out of her in front of he who knew no way to assist. There came a soft and knowing smile upon his features as she told him she didn't lack anything. He'd suspected her answer would be just that, as he imagined Raisa to be anything but the kind of wolf that asked for help. He also imagined she had already seen through his thin little veil and was trying right at this moment to deduce just what his intentions were. Luckily enough for her, he would make her ponder no longer. "I am glad you have all that you need for the time being." He paused, tail tapping the earth lightly behind him, pondering how best to go about presenting the idea he had been thinking about night and day for some time. "Do you remember when we met.. and when I offered you every ounce of me for your use?" Another pause, this one adjusting the lines of speech in his head before he spoke them. "I know I can be of use to you now, especially now." An ear twisted back idly. "Raisa, you are the strongest wolf I've ever known, and I imagine you're just the sort to refuse help if you can get away with it - but I implore you to take what I'm about to say seriously." He swallowed hard before continuing, knowing that he was signing away a check for his entire life's savings - heck, his entire life. "I have a weakness, Raisa. For women and children in particular - the helpless, the needy. I'm not calling you either, but for the first year of their life - your children will be both. While I suspect you'll be the fiercest and most phenomenal mother the world has ever seen, I don't imagine you're indestructible. Raising children is a feat that's nearly impossible for two parents, believe me - I know, and if I'm not mistaken you're alone in this endeavor save for the pack's influence. This is why I intend to offer myself to you and your future family as a father figure. Call me whatever you like, I only wish to be there for your children, the way my father was, the way I always imagine I will be for my children. Let me help you in the only way I know how. Let me be there, Raisa." He paused, his breaths coming quicker - fueled by exhilaration and fear of rejection. He felt foolish after saying what he had, but there was no taking it back now. "Let me try," he murmured, though he wasn't certain it was audible enough for her to hear - that would depend on whether or not she was even still listening. His bodice instinctively shifted away from her, fearful of her response - of the laughter that most likely would follow his request. You are a fool, Aeryc.
