He was frozen, terrified that something he said was entirely wrong and he'd supremely offended the one person he actually could stand. It was unfortunate, Shandom knew, that they lived so far apart from each other. But who were they to abandon their packs? Naniko, he was certain, would not leave Anathema. It was her home, and her family; the way she spoke of it belied the love she had for the canines who lived in the caves. So much would make it hard for Shandom to love her in a way that was fair to them both; if he were being truthful with his chaotic mind, he wasn't sure if there was a way. Honestly, after this, he doubted Naniko would want to see him again. He was angry at himself, as he always was, for fucking up in such a drastic and embarrassing manner. Goddamn her.
Shandom's confused expression twisted lightly into one of brief anger, and then it slipped into the passive mask he wore everyday. You think too little of me, the Gamma said cooly, mismatched eyes narrowed in lightly feigned disgust. If he were being truthful, he knew it was his own fault for behaving in such a presumptuous manner; Naniko was a leader, and a classy sort of Queen - in what universe would she have merely slept with him for his hormones? That had, after all, been the reason behind his visit, though he would not give her the satisfaction of admitting it aloud. Truthfully, the Gamma was hurting; the slight change in body posture reflected that, though he quickly gathered himself to follow Severus out of the caves.
He would be back for Naniko. Shandom's quickly beating heart begged to be left with the alabaster woman, but he knew he had responsibilities and could not spend his time grovelling at her feet for forgiveness. Days, weeks, months, or otherwise; the time didn't matter. He would be back for her, and he would tell her how he felt.
