I try to let such things just go away. Though it seems Aster is bent on making me feel more embarrassed about it than I already am. My ears tip back as she asks if it it’s allergies and I simply just shake my head. Stupid bad luck. Stupid bugs. Have to make me out as a fool in front of my Empress. Really though I am trying to be formal. I don’t really know how to do much else anymore. Aster is far from it felt sometimes, which I wasn’t sure made me feel anxious or was a relief. Her family and mine had a tie before I was even born. Her mother took care of mine and made sure that debt was to be repaid for the actions took upon her. I accept that I am a mix of a lot of things, I don’t know much about Malignus, but I know my grandfather Chael was a demon, then apparently my mother and grandmother have always been cursed in some way.
Regardless, I hold my tricolored form stoically. My red lined ears pinned forward and listening for anything Aster had to say as I gave my report to her. Truly, I hope she tries to become friends with Solstice, I felt no desire at all for her to try and wreck the relationship that Halcyon already had with her, she seemed genuinely happy for what they had and what could become of them. Now it would only be a matter of time to see if Aster could open up that way too. I didn’t know if she had an imprint or not yet. I knew I didn’t, but I knew also I tended to shy away from males my age just on prospect it felt if nothing else.
My tail flicks then when Aster finally says her words were gratuitous, I really thought such a thing wasn’t hard to do, yet she was happy and that was all I could ask for. ”I’m pleased you liked our progress. Though with the howls from Diveen I worry that it might not be fo the best I will try and set up something soon.” I explain though really I don’t think the death of their son would halt any pack relations I wanted to be sure. I met and secured the peace with had with Orion with my own paws, surely it would all be okay.
Her shocked tones at hearing that Solstice looked forward to them having kids though was worth bringing it all up though. I smile slightly before returning to a look of calm. ”I am too, she is a good wolfess. You should be happy for your mate to have such an understanding imprint. It is a blessing I hear to have such a thing and a mate.” It seems though what goes around comes around. I am happy she is pleased to have me, but such a thing was personal of her to ask of me. Do I have a crush? Or an imprint? I don’t feel embarrassed when I reply but there is some kind of sinking feeling that when I do she will want to ‘help’ me obtain this blessing I was just talking about for myself.
”Well… no. To both. I never much thought of either.” I reply with a small shrug of my black and crimson shoulders. Though I avert my red and blue eyes. Honestly I am nervous about such things just because what happened to mother. Yes, I know because of her pain she found Starfall, who was probably as close as I could get to a ‘good male figure’ in my life and certainly brightened her own, but for some reason I couldn’t really see that type of life for me.
