He had expected her take his affections with warmth, maybe even reciprocate them. He had also expected her to be somewhat upset with him, but not to the degree that she was. Tattered ears would flatten in surprise, his body body recoiling at her growl. Maija had never growled at him before. Ever. Even when they weren't exactly on close terms, she never once show any type of hostility towards him, so this was something Taurig was not expecting. He wasn't exactly sure how to react to it really. You should, considering how long you were gone. There was accusation in her voice and he was even more surprised to hear her stand up and pad away, the rush of cool ocean breeze indicating that she had separated herself from him, putting a good distance between them. The cobalt behemoth stood in his place for several moments, milky gaze glued in the direction that he had heard his wife walk off in. She had...walked away from him. And growled at him. He knew he'd hurt her, but to this severity? It had never been his intention...
He would stare after her for several more moments before a resigned sigh would slip past his inky jowls as he turned to face the ocean, dark limbs folding beneath him as he let himself collapse to the shore, his dark belly sinking into the cool sand. Scarred skull would come to rest upon his ebony paws, blind eyes staring emptily out towards the dark ocean. Tattered ears would remain flat against his skull, tail curled up against his hind limbs, unable to believe that his wife had really done that to him. He would say nothing to her in return, unable to formulate any type of response. The man was stunned into silence and rather than chase after his wife, since she clearly wanted nothing to do with him, he would lie there in quiet resignation, accepting his punishment. It wasn't like he didn't deserve it after all.
