can wrap this up soonish, unless you have any more ideas for this thread? :3 wc: 300+
The woman had frozen at her touch, clearly as unused to the physical contact as Alaine herself was. Although this embarrassed the healer somewhat, Tayui flashed her a reassuring smile, and the collie-woman felt more at ease. Her message seemed to sink in as the other woman watched her with curious bi-colored eyes. At her question, Alaine smiled secretively, a light blush rising to color the skin beneath her cheek fur. Emerald eyes sparkled slightly, and dipped away from the other lady to trail the path ahead. The golden dragon - He was her knight in shining armor, her pertinent companion and most trusted friend. And now, he was more...
"He is my... A family friend." My lover,, she thought, but for proprieties sake could not say, not even to this woman with whom she'd formed such an immediate connection. It was still too new a thought, to think that the relationship between her and the golden-pelted male had taken such a turn.
Somewhere, deep in her heart, Alaine wondered at her feelings for him. It was not the feelings of a mate, but the feelings of a confidant. She would not be wed in soul to the man, but she would love him forever, for the way her made her mind and her body feel.
Caillen would understand the cryptic message, but she wondered if he would guess at the insinuations behind it. Alaine had no way of knowing how her son would react to the news of his mother having taken a lover, but knowing of his heart-felt dedication in keeping her safe from his own gender, she guessed it would not be well. Her bastard offspring had long since taken it upon himself, as his duty in being the fruit from her rape and destruction at masculine hands and whims, to keep his mother on a pedestal of virtue. She had ruined him in this was, by his early experiences, and by all the times that he had witness his mother fold into herself from the pain of her previous life.
The Apothecary shook her head briskly, an instinctive motion to clear her mind of these thoughts. Emerald eyes returned from their vague inward wanderings to taking note of the forest - It was growing thinner, and she wondered if they might be approaching the border from which she would be able to find her way back home. Still striding at ease beside the taller ivory wolfess, Alaine returned her attention now to her companion.
"And might I do anything in return, miss, for your offer?" As the other had promised to deliver her message, should she ever meet Caillen, Alaine felt happily obliged to offer the same sort of assistance.
