Real Ambitions

Walk | Talk | Think The same brightness, the same internal hope that he felt over the suggestion he was making, did not appear so readily grasped by his mate. She was attentive to everything he said, watching him with her spring pink eyes and an expression that appeared searching and thoughtful, but there was a visible hesitation there as well. It was not the most encouraging reaction by far - it would have been so much easier if she had jumped on board with him from the very beginning, but he knew she would not be having misgivings if there was not some sound reasons for concern. After all, her life had been fraught with enough change like his own to warrant her own precautions when delving into new, unfamiliar waters. And the thought of striking on with their own pack, however small and familial-based it might be, was just that. Her answer was short, simple, and though it did not reflect the same level of enthusiasm that he felt Rune was willing to take it. Maybe just a little more convincing would do it. Maybe she just needed to know that he really meant what he was saying, that he had all but officially made up his mind on it already despite wanting her blessing, her support. "I really think we can do this, Alamea," he stated softly, moving in to nuzzle her before he continued. "I really think...I can do this." And perhaps that was more the necessary thing to say, considering he had no plans of placing his precious little mate into any positions that might compromise her safety. "I want all of you to be safe. To be happy. And I can't trust anyone else to provide that," he practically whispered, hearing the worry and protectiveness he felt color his words. "And, honestly, I'm tired of waiting for it." How many times had everything crumbled around them? Was that not enough for them to take matters into their own hands? The burly male paused, giving Alamea another moment to consider his explanations. Still a little piece of him worried that she might not be ready for what he was proposing, that her reluctance might get in the way of them starting a pack with their family and his sister's. It was a big endeavor, he understood it. But he could not shake the sense that it might also help alleviate all their fears and troubles all at once. "Will you let me do this? Will you let me rule a pack for us?" he asked gently, nosing at her muzzle encouragingly so she might say her piece. |
