He gave her a good-natured smile at her teasing words. "A set of wings would suit you." It was not a stretch to think that mountain wolves might be more deserving of wings than their Angelic allies. Perhaps it would make navigating these damned rocks a bit easier. Alistair thought it might be a good thing that Moonstone was a healer, as fall-related injuries must be quite common-- unless these wolves were born with the intrinsic skill of clambering up the rocky mountainsides. He had, after all, left Asteraia for an even flatter pack, his compact size not lending itself very easily to mountaineering. But now that he was up here, he couldn't help but admire the breathtaking view. It made the world seem so small.

Alistair turned towards her, watching her as she mentioned how she had taken the easier paths once they had gotten closer. "Easier, huh." He mused, a rather uncharacteristically playful glint in his eyes. Around his imprint, he felt as though he could be everything he had never gotten to be-- carefree, playful, even childlike in some aspects. Just as the forest below, his responsibilities also seemed like they were miles away in her presence. Perhaps they should both grow wings, and fly away from everything keeping them apart. He wished to be with her more than he was, a visit here-or-there was not what she deserved and he resented that he could not give her more of his attention. Their time together had to be carefully balanced between their respective roles... and his only seemed to grow more demanding.

'I am, though my den is sorta small for more than me.' His eyes grew bewildered as he caught the words leaving her lips, and the male glanced up at her. Had she found someone else? Was he truly that neglectful? But suddenly it dawned on him that she was alluding to something to do with him, and his expression quickly turned from bewilderment to embarrassment. Alistair cleared his throat and looked down, his face quickly heating up once he fully grasped the meaning of what she had said. They had never been... romantic with each other. He tried to dig through his head to come up with some sort of clever, cool response, but naturally he came up empty.

"Do you have someone in mind that you'd want to share it with..." He stumbled over the words, arching an eyebrow and trying to look unaffected as he met her gaze once more.
