There is No Honor in Tricks  |
_________________________________________________________________________ The femme did not know what to do around the brute before her. She was not used to the compliments that he was giving her, so all she could do was blush and smile shyly. Finally she found her voice and lyrics stuttered out, thanking him for his kind words. She really did not know what else there was to do or say. Should she compliment him back? She had no idea what there was to say, tell him she thought he was handsome? She did indeed find the uniquely marked brujo handsome, but should those words leave her lips? Would he just laugh at her for attempting to flirt with one that she had no chance with? Normally she would just think that that was what would happen, but with Zorion it felt different, it felt right. Like he wouldn’t laugh at her for saying something back, that maybe he wouldn’t turn her away. He seemed like a true gentleman, one that Lady could truly be around, could perhaps even fall in love with. The brute shook his head as he spoke, “You should not be thanking me for merely speaking the truth, Lady, but rather reprimanding those who have failed to do so. It is not so much that I am too kind, rather others have not been kind enough.” The petite femme laughed softly at his words, smiling up at him in a way that only one who was naïve in love could. Conversation changed to their families, sharing stories of the past. Zorion told of what had happened to his family and Lady told what she knew of hers, even though the memories were painful and hard to talk about. In fact, Lady had told the full story to no one but that brute that was before her. Normally if someone were to ask Nymeria was with her and the younger girl would babble on at the excuse to talk like she usually did. The older teen knew that her sister was upset about what had happened with her family, but she still seemed happy and carefree despite the fact that their whole family could be dead and gone forever. Lady had no way of knowing and that’s what scared her the most about the whole situation. But that’s not what Lady wanted to think about right now. She didn’t want to think about her mother and father and brothers. She wanted to think about Zorion and figure out more about this kind lupine. Figure out what his true intentions were, if he was just being nice and going to be a friend or if there could be more between them. When the ess stopped sharing the story of her family Zorion did something that surprised her. He stood up and her hope fell instantly for anything she had for them. He was leaving. He was going to walk away after he heard how messed up her family was. She dropped her head down, gazing back at the ground, wanting it to just get over with. And then she felt his neck against hers and she stiffened immediately, not expecting the physical contact from him. The last time she had been touched by a male had been the awful brute that had abused her and she was afraid of the touch at first. But Zorion was not hurting her, was not biting and scratching and tearing into her flesh as the last one had done to her so often. But this was Zorion, the handsome, kind-hearted brute that was embracing her and so she forced herself to relax, to lean into his form and embrace him. The pair split apart and then the brute spoke, “That is indeed horrible, and I am truly sorry you were marred by such a sight. My parents’ death was an accident, yours were stolen brutally from you. It is not right and I swear if I ever meet their killers, I shall avenge their death.” Fear attacked her at his words. Avenge their death? That would just get Zorion killed. She did not doubt that he was strong and a good fighter if it came to that in his life, but the brute was no match for the pack that had held her captive for so long, and she did not want anything to happen to the brute that she had come to enjoy being around. The fae’s fear filled orbs met his, hoping he wouldn’t actually go through with the words that he just spoke. ”Don’t do that Zorion, please. You’ll just end up getting hurt, or worse, if you try messing with that pack. It’s not worth it, please. I’m here with you now and that’s all that matters. I don’t want to lose you.” Her gaze once again went to the ground, worried that the words she had said would be too much, that she was letting too much of her feelings show and that the brute would back off and leave. Their talk changed to a topic that was not so bitter and when the two shared agreeing opinions about finding a soulmate and making a family she became embarrassed again, doing what she always did and lowered her gaze. This time Zorion reached over with a paw under her chin to force her gaze back up, her yellow orbs meeting his brown eyes. The brujo spoke words that made her feel nothing but happiness, “You are the first who has ever accepted what I said… agreed with it. I feel like you understand me like none other has before.” A genuine, happy smile appeared on her kissers when he spoke. His paw lowered back to the ground and this time he looked away as she had so often done. For a moment she was not sure what to say, how to tell him that it she wanted to share a life with him, to have a family with him as they had just discussed. ”Zorion,” she spoke, forcing herself to say his name, gently reaching out to him, her plume touching his side as she inched closer to him. She waited until he looked up before continuing. ”I feel the same way. Maybe that means we were meant to be together, to share a life together.” Her vocals became quieter as she spoke, never thinking she would say that type of thing to anyone after the past she had been through, but she didn’t know what else to do, didn’t know how to make her feelings known to him. She could only hope that he agreed and that he would not turn away from her now. ___ _____________________________________________________________________ |
