He was both mentally and physically exhausted, it had been a little over a month since he had last seen Aislyn and it felt like he had not stopped walking. There wasn't a moment that had hadn't been thinking about the ivory female and then finally had had submitted, realizing that as worried as he was about settled down with somewhere and someone he cared more about this female. He cared about her and he had been scared to admit it. Scared to get close to anyone again only to have them taken away from him, his life had not been an easy one, he had lost a lot of loved ones in his life. But he wasn't stupid enough to let this pass him by, to let this female he felt so strongly for slip through his grasp. He needed to see her again, needed to know if she was as amazing as he remembered of if he had just romanticized it in his mind. All these worries clouded his mind, swirled though his brain as he stared glassily at the ground. It wasn't until he heard approaching footsteps that he managed to pull himself from this cloud and lift his head.

For a moment she stared at him and he stared at her, unsure what to do. But the breeze caught his name as it slipped quietly from her lips before she squealed it out and came bounding towards him. The biggest grin split across his maw and he hopped to his paws as she came bounding towards him. His tail was held high, wagging happily at the sight of her. All those emotions came crashing back, the love and happiness and excitement and every other joyful emotion that he couldn't even name hit him. He hadn't romanticized her at all, everything he had felt that first day was still there. She pushed herself into him and licked his chest as he groomed the back of her neck, it felt so right to have her here again. But then everything changed, sharp tones dripping with venom fell from her lips and she ripped herself away from him, backing up quickly. Immediately his ears pinned to his skull and he backed up slowly. he wanted to run from this rage but he new he had to stay. He had to beg, he had to grovel and do whatever was needed. He wanted to be in her life...

Her next words hurt him almost as much as those snapping teeth could have. He knew that had something, knew there was still something there because she wouldn't have come if there wasn't. She turned away from him and he took a hesitant step forward, head held low and ears folded carefully against his skull. His eyes pleaded with her, asking her forgiveness. "Ais... I truly think there was, that there is something here." he murmured, moving another step closer to her so that he was close enough to touch if she wished to lean back into him. "I can never apologize enough. I was scared, I've been on my own for so long that all this came so quickly. And I was worried that you would go back to you pack and realize that you didn't need me anymore" he said slowly, eyes looking back down to the ground as his voice slowly got softer the more he spoke until it just drifted away. He didn't know what he could say to make her understand that it wasn't her that he was running from, it was himself and if he could have he would have taken her with him in a heart beat. He didn't ever want to be away from her again.
