The feelings she had were so different than her short binding with Balor. He had terrified her, worried her. She stood defiant about not being his thought, and after he stalked her for a time perhaps he simply realized she wasn’t something he could have and just… vanished. For a time she felt something missing with him, it scared her, but she had Hyrule. Lazarus though… for whatever reason fate gave him to her, was a completely different story. She made him only feel good things, sure she could tell he was nervous and perhaps worried too much, but… didn't she too? Perhaps not quite to his level when it came to meeting others but she constantly worried about everything too. When she was around him though she felt… relaxed, she thought about him a lot and could actually focus on just the interaction while not worrying about things outside. Ulterior motives, what was going to go wrong, for she didn’t expect anything to ever go wrong when he was close. Zelda perhaps was more wounded than she thought with Hyrule’s leaving, but she even could put thoughts of him aside when she was around her tri-colored imprint.

He just was so, pure, he was the type of wolf she wanted to protect and help no matter what. Cliche as it sounded. Wolves like him were what drove her Aztec blood to burn all the brighter, not to mention the fire from her father’s side as well. Also his own gestures of kindness just made her feel… better. About anything and everything. Perhaps it was mostly the bond that caused her to be at ease in his presence, her body felt sore because her muscles were no longer tense and tight. No one really brought her to ease like he did, so it really wasn’t a big deal to her to invite him to come along and join her for a little more peace before she eventually would have to go back to the party before she was missed too much.

She could tell though that he was skeptical of her words about being brave. Those that were scared, but turned around and faced their fears were the most brave wolves out there. Wolves that were unmoving, and faced anything with ease, sure they were brave, but not in the same way those that had to fight their mental shadows were. That was how she felt, though she didn’t say it, someday maybe she would, for now though she was distracted by his gift and taking them into her den. She accepted her invitation though, but offered something else. A smile slide across her maw all the more at his words. ”Only if you want.” Mirroring his own last words, ”I’m sure you will do it better than I ever could seeing how you arranged these already.” Her tail waved lightly all the more, ready to help him out if need be but excited to see what he would do.

He was cute, there was no other words for it, she enjoyed being around him and wished she could be with him more often. These times were the ones she wanted to last, but she knew at some point she would have to return to reality. For now she would enjoy watching Lazarus get to work and have that peace just a bit longer.
