Indeed
Amber ears pressed forward at the sudden creak from deep within the house and followed the soft whisper of his foot falls . With the sound of his every step it felt as if her heart was crawling further up her throat and though she breathed with ease her chest felt tight and suffocating. Turning her self slightly away from the sound of his approach her hand fell away from the weathered surface of the door. Anann swallowed hard took another deep breath as she tried to seize a hold on her emotions. Closing her eyes she focused on her breathing and slowing the racing of her heart. A life of leadership and war had taught her how to hide her emotions well, but she was mentally, emotionally exhausted. Her control was slipping and Anann was not even sure that she could hide her pain from him.
His accented voice tore at her heart as he softly called out her name. Had her resolve not been so strong she would have quickly closed the distance between them. Let those strong arms wrap around her as she buried her face in the fur of his chest and let him tell her that it would all be okay. Instead she stood frozen, until she finally cleared her throat and found her voice. "We need to talk," she said rather bluntly as she finally turned to face him, "is there somewhere we could sit?" Her eyes would not meet his. Afraid that he would see right through her emotionless guise.
