HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]This is exactly what she had been meaning to avoid. Her luck had been almost too good, too unbelievable given the harsh winter and the subsequent lack of food and shelter, and it had been easy to fall for it and think it real. Normally, Aphrodite was more skeptical, more cautious, more aware of her surroundings, more – she sighed, relenting on her harsh mental scolding as she nosed a huge mass of snow away from a tree base. Her front, left paw had a nasty slice up the side, not particularly deep or life-threatening, but certainly enough of a pain to hinder her mobility. It happened the previous day, when she had found herself standing perilously close to the edge of a plummeting hill disguised as safe passage because of the snow; one step forward meant sliding right into the hot, bubbling pit of water, and one step backward brought her closer to an unfamiliar male who happened upon the scene at just the wrong moment. Adrenaline and fear must have kept her from noticing, but a thorn or something of the like had likely snagged her when she nearly lost her footing. She shivered, starting with a crinkle of her nose and a half-sneeze, but she couldn’t tell if it was from the numb feeling in her nose or the unpleasant memory. Aphrodite withdrew from the work she had accomplished thus far around the tree base. She knew better than to get her hopes up by now, but it dimmed her spirits nonetheless when there was nothing to be seen below the heaps of snow than more dead grass.

She was trying her luck at finding agrimony flowers, bright yellow and easy to stop, good for speeding up the healing process and numbing some of her discomfort, but finding one beneath the snow that was still alive and well would require a miracle. She had also considered burdock’s broad leaves, easier to find at this time of year and a more likely survivalist given its close proximity to water, but Aphrodite hadn’t a clue where to go for the nearest source of water, and traveling aimlessly any more than necessary with her wound didn’t sound appealing in the slightest. Slowly, she left the tree and limped towards the next, a small pool of blood left behind in the hole she’d dug in the snow. It was worrisome that the wound was still bleeding, but it was less than before which could mean it was beginning to close on its own. It wasn’t the first time she was thankful for what little medicinal knowledge she had.

Once Aphrodite reached another tree, she restarted the process all over again, burying her nose into the snow and nudging piles away until she reached the cold earth below. If she didn’t die from a pesky infection, or blood loss, then surely frostbite would claim her before the sun went down.

[attr="class","panText1"]Lorem dolor, consectetur.

He probably should have headed back to Kairos. However, Pan was finding himself less than willing to leave the unclaimed territories and the memory of the jumpy female behind. She had been grateful for his aid and protection for the night, but they had parted ways far too soon for his liking. He had meant to return to his family, or at least to Ser'eri or Ale'ina, but instead he found himself hovering at the edge of Kairos's border worrying about her. She had not wanted to return with him to Kairos, and he had not forced her, though his protective instincts had wanted to. He was not one to force anyone into anything, and he had watched her leave with small frown on his features. At least when she was not looking. He had tried to smile and be friendly, but her absence was colder than he had expected.

That day his paws had taken him yet again away from the border of Kairos, perhaps inadvertently in search of her. He had promised not to follow her or make her uncomfortable, but he could hope that he ran into her again, right? Hopefully she had not gone far, but with his luck he was certain that she was gone forever and he would inevitably return to Kairos alone and miserable. However, as the thought began to burn itself into his mind almost tauntingly, he picked up her scent on the snow. At first he was certain that he was just making things up, hallucinating in a way. Was his solitude making him insane? But then he came to the base of the tree where she had uncovered the grass. His nose flared in concern and panic as he spotted the blood that stained the grass, and a small whine left his lips as he attempted to follow the trail that it left in the white snow alongside her pawprints.

His pace was faster now, for he was on a mission. It thankfully did not take him long to find her, and instead of approaching cautiously and slowly like he should have, he pushed forward and right to her as he spotted her digging out more snow beneath yet another tree. "Aphrodite!" He called, his voice more panicked and breaking than he had meant it to. But he did not stop until he was beside her, his form blocking the wind from her body as his head shifted and his eyes scanned her form for signs of injuries. His nose twitched quickly, examining her from head to toe until he spotted the blood dripping from her paw. "What happened?" He asked, his eyes moving quickly from her paw to her face so that he could watch every detail of her expression and her muzzle as she answered him.

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]He appeared as if out of thin air, as if he materialized straight out of her thoughts of him. Her first reaction to the suddenness of his approach and the urgency of his tone was, unsurprisingly, to startle and press her back up against the side of the tree, but the sight of him quickly relaxed every muscle in her body, and she was finally able to inhale her first deep, calming breath since she’d gotten the injury. "Pan?" She responded in similar fashion, blinking in quick succession to make sure she hadn't passed out from blood-loss and conjured him up in a dream. It seemed instinctual for Pan to use his larger body to block the wind and cold from reaching her to the best of his ability, and she appreciated the worry in his eyes and the panic in his voice more than she could say.

It was only a matter of time until he saw the blood, and the way she favoured her injured paw. Aphrodite tried her best to make it look like nothing, for she didn’t want to worry him more than she already had, but a sharp discomfort shot up her leg the second she tried to rest it properly on the ground. He was searching her expression frantically for an answer, and it was cruel to keep it from him any longer than necessary. She suddenly felt shy, but she forced herself to look him in the eye. “It was my own fault. I was exploring the territory, searching for another place to spend the night, and I slipped on a steep cliff that was buried beneath all of the snow. I must’ve snagged it on a thorn.” It was a half-truth, but Aphrodite had no desire to mention the other male she’d met that day. He was nothing like Pan, and she hoped to never see him again. Besides, if she said anything to make him sound even partially responsible, she feared the possibility of Pan trying to seek him out for vengeance. While it was true he kept her perilously close to the edge much longer than necessary, it was her own fault for speaking rudely to him in the first place. She should’ve known better. Wherever she got the strength to use such a tone with an unfamiliar male was beyond her understanding now that she was back to her senses.

Aphrodite glanced past Pan’s shoulder, seeing all of the holes she’d left by trees. The one in front of them was only half-finished, and she absentmindedly scraped a bit more snow away with one of her hind legs while she explained. “There’s a yellow flower that tends to grow by trees. It’s a long-shot in a winter as cold as this one, but I didn’t know where the nearest water source was to find burdock, instead.” She was always proud of her medicinal knowledge. Hopefully, it’d appease Pan to know she at least had the power to tend to her own injuries as long as she could find the proper ingredients.

She was beginning to feel a bit embarrassed at being found in this state. Ideally, Pan would’ve found her after she’d gotten the medicine, so she would’ve been able to prove that she could take care of herself like she said. Now, it looked like she couldn’t go a few days without him nearby without finding herself in some kind of trouble. “I thought you would’ve been back in Kairos by now.” It was a bit off-topic, but she really was surprised to see him so soon after their last meeting.

He continued to frown as she explained herself, though he was certain from the way her expression changed slightly and how the muscles in her face hesitated in their movements that she was not telling him everything. But he supposed that she owed him nothing, and he did not exactly deserve to hear every little detail about her exploits. It was none of his business, after all. He moved carefully around her as she spoke, ignoring the fact that her hind leg continued to kick away the snow for a few moments as she explained herself and then tried to turn the attention back to him. He carefully helped her kicked the snow up around the tree so that it piled up high enough to block the wind from all directions before he tried to usher her towards the tree trunk to lay down.

He was determined to clean her wound and help her heal, and his face hardened slightly as he thought about her declining his aid once more. He would not allow it this time, regardless of what she said or did. She needed help, and though he was certain she was perfectly capable of handling herself, he was there to help her instead. "Something kept pulling me away." He said softly, his eyes having danced back up to her face to watch her question him about why he had not gone back to Kairos. The something should have been obvious to her, but he figured he would say it out loud if she questioned it anyways. "I know you are a strong and capable wolf, Aphrodite. You can take care of yourself. But right now, you don't have to." He said softly, nudging her shoulder gently and frowning at her as he waited for her to lay down.

"I will look for this flower, you need to rest." He said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he did his best to make his voice a bit deeper so that it sounded more serious. However, he still could not help but lower his head to lick gently at the blood that dripped down from her injury. He whined very softly, the sound barely audible over the whistling of the wind outside of the makeshift burrow he had created for her. With one more gentle lick to clean away any blood that might have held dirt or debris to her injury, he backed up slowly and gave her one more serious and stern look. "Please do not go anywhere." He said softly, the words meant to sound like an order, but coming out more like a plea than anything else. Then he leaped out of the little snow burrow and began to search for the little yellow flower.

It felt like forever by the time he did manage to find one, and it had been buried deep in the snow beneath a tree far from where he had left her. His paws were beginning to grow numb with the cold as he carefully plucked it and turned back in the direction of the female. It was like his tired body gained some mysterious energy as he ran back to her, skidding to a stop outside of the pale burrow that had become more shielded as the snow continued to fall. He had to push his way inside carefully and then shove the snow back in place before he turned and set the flower down in front of her carefully. Unfortunately he had only been able to find one, but as he knew very little about herbs and healing he hoped that it would be enough to help her at least get by until her paw had a chance to heal for the most part.

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]Had this been anyone else she likely would’ve put up more of a fuss, because she didn’t like to accept the aid of strangers and, nowadays, everyone was a stranger, but she knew from their last meeting that Pan wouldn’t do anything to harm her. It was a lot of trust to put into someone she’d only met once, frankly too much, but she felt weak, cold, and exhausted. Her paws and nose were numb from pushing piles upon piles of snow, and even though she’d insist that her wound wasn’t serious, she was beginning to feel light-headed from the combined strain and blood-loss. When Pan ushered her to lie down and rest, she all but collapsed into his makeshift den, inhaling a deep, labored breath, but it turned sharp at the end when he leaned forward and started to clean her wound without asking. Aphrodite was grateful, of course, watching in stunned silence, but their proximity to one another was beginning to make her feel shy and unsure of herself, and she hoped he’d credit her slow, uneven breathing to her injury or fatigue rather than the way her heart was practically pounding out of her chest.

“I promise I’ll stay here.” She assured him, nodding slowly. It was obvious from his expression that he was worried about her – and she could’ve sworn that she heard him whine, although there was no way of discerning it from the wind – so she wanted to do what she could to put his mind at ease, even if it was as simple as lying there and doing nothing. He was gone, on a mission to find her the medicine she needed, before she could stutter out a clearer, more detailed explanation of what he was looking for, but she smiled into his turned back nonetheless until it was nothing more than a dot in the distance. Aphrodite’s head slowly sank on top of her good paw, feeling warm and safe. It was odd, considering her shelter was made of snow, and it’d be easy enough for an unfriendly guest or fellow predator to dig its way into, but it was made for her specially, so she couldn’t help her heart from swelling with joy. It felt unnatural to be taken care of in this way. Aphrodite was surprised to catch herself growing used to it, comfortable even.

Her head jolted upright when Pan returned, and her tail wagged unbidden when she saw the yellow flower hanging from his teeth. “You found it!” She was beginning to accept that it was a useless feat in a winter as bitter as this. She could only imagine how far he must’ve gone, or how many trees he must’ve dug around, in order to find her just this one little flower. He set the flower down in front of her so gently, like it would shatter if he didn’t exercise extreme caution with it. Aphrodite impulsively leaned forward and touched her nose to his cheek in thanks. She withdrew quickly, embarrassed and suddenly too hot – she was still in heat, after all, so she needed to be careful how she acted with him. Grabbing the flower by one of its yellow petals, she pulled it into her mouth and started chewing it into a mushy paste before spitting it onto her open wound. She hissed under her breath, the painkiller working fast, but she ignored the slight discomfort and spread it around the injury with laps of her tongue.

Her work finished, she leaned back and smiled up at Pan, sheepish and hesitant. She wondered how long he intended to stay. “Thank you,” it was long overdue, “for everything: finding the flower, and making this to keep out the wind.” It was a small space, especially for two wolves, but she tried her best to ignore the sudden intimacy of it. Aphrodite exhaled a breathy laugh, green-gold eyes finding his with immense joy and appreciation. She was glad to see him, and it was beginning to show more than she’d like. “I don’t know what would’ve happened if you didn’t show up when you did. Who knows how long I would’ve spent looking for that flower.” Given the distance he had to travel for just one, it probably would’ve taken her until nightfall at half his pace and with a limp. She’d been staring at him for a long minute before her eyes fell to her paws. “Turns out I’m in need of your protection more than I thought.”

Perhaps part of him expected her to send him away. The feeling of her nose pressing lightly against his cheek was not something he was ready for, though. He held his breath as she made the contact, and did not release it for several moments afterwards. Thankfully she busied herself with chewing up the flower and placing the paste on her injury, giving him a few minutes to save face before she focused on him once more. He watched her silently, allowing himself to lean backwards and slowly lower his hips down into a sitting position. He let himself focus on relaxing his muscles slowly one by one, and by the time she lifted her eyes to him and spoke, he had managed to somehow ignore the strong feminine scent that surrounded them both.

His eyes focused on her face as she spoke, carefully taking in each word so that she would not need to repeat herself. Some wolves would be uncomfortable by how intense his gaze became when he was reading lips, but for some reason it seemed that Aphrodite was never phased by it. She thanked him for helping her and told him that she did need him. The feeling of her praise and her acceptance of needing him made his chest swell with pride for the briefest of moments before he let himself sink down even further into a laying position on the cold ground. Thankfully though they were surrounded by mounds of snow that he had created, there was still a gap large enough above the snow all around them that the breeze blew some of her scent away from them so he was not completely overwhelmed. Still, he did struggle slightly to control himself.

"We do not need to worry about what might have happened if I did not find you. I am here now." He said, though in the back of his mind he was still upset by what he knew could have happened to her. There were so many possibilities, there were so many things that could have gone wrong. "And I am not leaving your side." He added softly, watching her closely to see how she reacted to the words. He had been patient with her and he had been gentle since they had first met. He was not going to turn possessive or jealous right then and there, but he would not let himself leave her and worry about her on her own either. Would she resent him for stepping into the slightly dominant role that he had chosen? "Listen, I do not want to control you. Please do not think that. But I have not stopped worrying about you since we left each other." He said, frowning and looking down at his paws for a moment. But they did not stay there long. He had to look up at her face again, he had to see how she responded to his words.

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]Her heat wasn’t only problematic for Pan by any means. Constantly, Aphrodite felt like she needed to shuffle her paws, or switch up how she laid on the ground, in the hopes she’d somehow magically become more comfortable than she was before. He controlled himself so much better than she expected him to, but given her past experiences with males, and even present experiences excluding him, of course, the smallest twinge of distrust remained in the back of her mind. She knew how much that would hurt him, and it was the last thing she wanted to do. It would just take time for her to fully adjust to his concern, his patience, and the goodness of it all – no falsity, no tricks.

Somehow, he directed her attention towards something other than her heat. The weight of his words hung in the cold air between them for a long moment, in which she simply looked at him, quiet and unflinching. Truthfully, she was stumbling over her own tongue, and also the thoughts she had been having since he left her. She was struggling to decide whether or not to tell him everything, lie herself bare right then and there, but on the surface she must’ve looked stiff and troubled.

With a sigh, Aphrodite steeled her courage and decided to be completely honest with him. He had done so much for her, had made his worry over her well-being clear and unquestionable, so the least she could do was return the kindness. “I would be lying if I said that I hadn’t considered going back after I met you. I thought that this life would be better than that one, but I suppose I only needed an opportunity to see the ups and downs of both.” Pan likely didn’t know what downs, specifically, she was referring to. He knew that she had been taken against her will, but knowing it and living it weren’t the same thing. Also, there was Beleth to worry about. There would always be him and his feeling of ownership. She would need to find it within herself to stand up to him and explain what she wanted. Then, with Pan sitting across from her and promising his protection, it sounded easy, but she knew it wouldn’t be when the two of them were alone. “Say I returned with you,” she drew circles in the snow with her uninjured paw while she spoke as a distraction, “would they take me back so easily after I knowingly deserted them?” She paused, but it wasn’t the only concern she had, and she vowed complete honestly. “Would I be enslaved until I could prove that I was trustworthy?” She stopped drawing circles in the snow abruptly, and her eyes lifted to his, suddenly very serious. “Would I be returned to the side of the male who claimed to own every move I made, every breath I took?”

She feared punishment. She feared the verbal onslaught of someone far bigger than she was. However, she also feared never seeing Pan again. She feared the possibility of him growing to resent her if she continued to widen the gap between him and his pack. It was difficult to decide which side of it was worse, which side of it she could shoulder a little easier than the other. A voice in the back of her head pleaded for him to make those assurances, even if they were empty and groundless, so she could follow him back – but perhaps she would anyway.

She seemed uncomfortable, and for a short time he wondered if it was his fault. However, when she did finally open her mouth to speak, his ears perked regardless of the fact that he could not actually hear her. His eyes watched her closely, taking in each word that came from her mouth. She wanted to go back to Kairos with him. For the briefest of moments his chest swelled with excitement and his tail thumped once behind him. That is, until she continued to speak and he refocused on her face. Would they take her back? He would vouch for her. Would she be enslaved? Over his dead body. Would she go back to the male that had claimed her? No way in hell. The answers ran through his mind as she spoke, and when she finally went silent he figured he should probably actually say them out loud.

"I will vouch for you if you come back with me." He said, unable to resist the urge to inch slightly closer to her. She was uncomfortable, that much he could tell, but he wanted to be nearer regardless of her heat. "I would never let you be enslaved, especially by the one that claimed you before." He added, moving closer again until he could gently nudge her cheek with his nose. "I promised you I would keep you safe, and I will always keep you safe." He said, ignoring the scent of her heat as he settled in beside her. He did not touch her for fear that she would move away from him, but he could not help but want to be near her. "I know we have not known each other for that long, but I cannot stop thinking about you. I do not want to leave your side." His voice was soft as he spoke, and for the first time since he had returned to her he did not look at her face.

He needed to get what he had to say out first. "Aphrodite, if we go back to Kairos together, I want to be yours." He said, knowing the words sounded strange. But though as a male he did want to possess her in a way, it was only because he was certain that he loved her. It was not to control her and it was not to dominate her. Perhaps that was why he had worded it to make him hers instead of the other way around. But it was her decision. "I will protect you against everything I can, and if you let me, I can claim you as mine as well so that no one else can touch you." He finally lifted his eyes to look back up at her face, uncertainty and love in his eyes all at the same time. If she said no, he would not hold it against her. He would do what he could to protect her even then, but he hoped she would agree. In fact, he was certain he had never wanted anything more in his entire life.

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]She believed that at least one of the three things she inquired about would be impossible for him to guarantee: they were a large pack and had no need for deserters, it would make sense for the higher ups to be wary of someone who abandoned their post and duties, and assuming they didn’t take claims lightly, then her return would only anger Beleth and tighten his hold on her, his possession. However, he answered each and every one of her questions, addressing all of her concerns and then some. With each statement, Pan inched a little closer to her, and given how small the space was to begin with, it didn’t take long before he was close enough to reach out and touch her with his nose. Aphrodite knew she must’ve been a strange sight, holding her breath and hardly moving a muscle, but she subconsciously leaned into the contact; it could’ve been her heat making her more affectionate, but she was certain a small part of it was her trust in and adoration for him in return.

Aphrodite’s breath hitched in her throat when Pan very boldly stated his intentions after she returned to Kairos with him. He said that he wanted to be hers, and even though she appreciated the phrasing, and the idea of it made her heart skip a beat, she knew what it really meant. He said the words before she could fully process the thought, a claim to keep the rest of the males away from her. She knew that he would be different from Beleth, that he would truly be as much hers as she was his, but the word still sent a chill down her spine. Aphrodite fled Kairos out of fear, that was true, but it was also because she loathed the relationship that she had been forced into; she desired a real connection with real feelings, and what she had with Beleth felt forced, fast, and unhealthy. What she had with Pan also felt fast, and she was almost dizzy with how quickly it was progressing, but it wasn’t either of the other two things. As much as the idea of a claim made her uncomfortable, she didn’t have any genuine reasons to refuse. All that would bring her was trouble in Kairos when, inevitably, another male found her and decided they weren’t going to be as patient as Pan was.

Their proximity to one another was becoming more and more difficult to ignore, but she trusted Pan to reestablish distance between them if he needed it. In the meantime, she allowed herself to relax and enjoy his presence, resting her muzzle on one of his large paws. She quickly adjusted her position so she was looking up at him, and he could still properly read her lips. “Being claimed was one of the things I was running from,” she admitted, voice dropping low even though volume didn’t make a difference to him. “but I trust you, Pan. It’s all very sudden, I’ll admit, but it feels right – I want to be yours, too.”

It surprised her that he didn’t press for more information about the male who previously claimed her. She was hesitant to ruin the moment between them, but then again, she didn’t want him to be caught off guard if Beleth had an issue with this development. Her ears pressed flat, eyes filling with worry over his well-being. He was large, but so was Beleth. She had seen the latter’s temper. “It was Beleth who claimed me. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt on my behalf, least of all you.” She had no idea what happened if claims got challenged this way. She trusted that Pan could protect her as promised, but she despised violence, and picturing him in a fight made her throat dry up like her voice would crack if she tried to use it again.

It felt like forever before she seemed to relax and lean into him. There had been hints of her desire for him the entire time, but when she finally lowered her head to rest it lightly on his paw, he offered her a small smile. He lowered his chin to look down at her as she spoke, still managing to make out her words even though they did not directly face one another anymore. She did not want to be claimed, and he did not blame her for feeling the way she did about it. But she wanted to be his just as he wanted to be hers. The feelings that overwhelmed him when she said the words out loud made him catch his breath for a split second before he lowered his head and closed the small distance that was between them.

Her heat scent was powerful, but it did not matter to him in that moment. His chin lowered over her neck to cuddle into her affectionately for a brief few seconds before he lifted his head once more. With their contact he could feel her preparing to speak again, and he shifted so that he could look down at her face once more. "I have not met Beleth, but I do believe we are related." He said, frowning for a few moments before he sighed softly and let his tongue swipe softly over her forehead. "I will do everything in my power to protect you, no matter what." He said, lowering his head to rest it directly in front of her nose on his other paw. His eyes turned to look over at her as he smiled, his tail wagging lightly behind him while his ears twitched lightly on top of his head.

The shelter he made for her would do for the night, but in the morning they would need to begin the journey back to Kairos if she was serious. He knew of a few wolves that could officially accept her back into the pack, but he wondered how well things would go with his half-brother right off the bat. Perhaps they would wait before subjecting her to meeting Hyperion again, and though every one of the Generals had claimed a female when they returned from the isles, Beleth and Sabaoth were likely not viable options for them either. He had not met Hektor personally, but perhaps the General of Ser'eri would be their best bet. But for now, he allowed himself to relax and simply enjoy where they were in their lives. They were together, they had a safe place to sleep, and they had a future together. That was all he needed to know for the time being.

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]Aphrodite would’ve been happy to remain frozen in that moment forever if it was possible. It was still light enough to travel, and she wondered absentmindedly whether or not he planned to spend the night here, with her, or if he’d want to try and reach Kairos before nightfall. She wouldn’t blame him for it, because surely neither of them would be able to sleep comfortably with the smell of her heat; however, she couldn’t help wanting another night alone with him before she was once again faced with an entire pack, an entire empire of wolves that either didn’t know her, or would remember her as a traitor. It turned out that Pan didn’t know Beleth, which surprised her – was it common to be unfamiliar with some of the wolves in the same pack? It struck her right then and there how large and powerful Kairos truly must’ve been. Perhaps, under his protection, she could grow to like it more than she had before. She would never have to feel afraid with such great numbers at her back. Until then, she knew she had a few obstacles to tackle first.

Eventually, Pan moved so that he was nose to nose with her, looking at her fondly while he once again promised his protection; Aphrodite could get used to being looked at like that, and she smiled warmly in response, hoping he could ignore her scent a little longer and remain as close as he was. There was something on her mind that was slightly embarrassed to ask, but in the silence that ensued she was practically being eaten alive by her curiosity. She wasn’t one to be jealous or possessive. At least, she liked to think that she wasn’t, but she’d never been in anything even remotely as close to a relationship as this. She recalled that she wasn’t the only female that Beleth had claimed, or at the very least had cared about. It was very possible for a male to have more than one female who belonged to him, and throughout her time in Kairos, she’d never met Pan – or any female that claimed to be his. That didn’t mean it wasn’t entirely possible that he had others, or intended to eventually. “I know that it’s perfectly acceptable to have more than one claim in Kairos. Have you ever…” Aphrodite paused, realizing she didn’t quite know what she was trying to ask. She feared causing him offense or sounding accusatory, and then making him feel like she didn’t completely trust him. “…It’s a big pack, after all, so it’s entirely possible that…”

Internally, she groaned. Externally, she closed her eyes and smiled sheepishly, thinly. “It doesn’t matter either way. I know that you will make me happy, and that’s all I could ever ask for. I hope to make you happy, too.” As much as all of her worries about Kairos swam around in her head unbidden, she wouldn’t change her mind in the morning. “Shall I catch us something to eat for dinner? It’s the least I can do, and my paw is feeling quite a lot better.” She swung it in the air and playfully batted at his shoulder with it, hoping to lighten the mood enough to make him consider accepting the offer. She couldn’t provide protection in return, but she was a good enough hunter and would be happy to provide in other ways.

He could feel her chin and throat vibrating softly with words against his paw before he shifted to look directly at her muzzle once more. He figured out what she was trying to ask him almost right away, because he knew just as she said that males within Kairos often had multiple females that they claimed as their own. He probably should have stopped her, should have put her out of her awkward misery, but a part of him found it adorable how she stumbled over the words. "Aph, love, don't worry." He could not help but chuckle slightly as his tongue flicked out to lick her nose. "I have no one else. I want no one else." He said, his tail thumping uninhibited behind him now. He shifted his head to nuzzle against her face for a moment before he lifted it with a frown as she spoke again.

"Uh uh, you are not hunting right now. We will be fine for the night. We can catch something on our way home tomorrow." He said softly, not meaning to be controlling as he said the words. He just could not bring himself to let her put herself at risk just for a meal for him, and he knew that her paw still needed time to recover before she put so much strain on it. He did, however, turn his head to gently catch her paw in his teeth as she pawed at him, careful not to make contact with her injury. He released it only a moment later and rolled over onto his side beside her, lifting his own paw to swipe very gently at her nose. She was much smaller than him so he was still careful, but he offered her his best version of a goofy smile as his head lowered to rest the back of it on the ground in front of him.

"You should rest, we both should." He said softly, lifting his chin slightly to lick at her chin. It was a usually submissive gesture, and the way he laid on his side was just as submissive of a move. But he had nothing to prove to anyone else but her. He could be powerful and strong if he wanted to be - surely she knew that - but around her he did not need to be. At least when it was just her. He could not help but let out a soft yawn as he let his paw drop to the ground, and though her heat was still mildly torturing him, he rolled onto his belly and stood up to step over her carefully. She had been laying facing him, and instead of falling asleep in front of her he stepped behind her so that he could lay out between her and the snow. He lowered himself into a laying position and curled lightly around her, his head resting on her shoulders as he yawned softly again. It might have still been somewhat light out, but he had expended a lot of energy looking for her and then finding the flower for her. They both needed rest before they traveled to Kairos in the morning.

Post by Aphrodite on Mar 26, 2019 9:57:27 GMT -6

HOVER[attr="class","plbase"]

[attr="class","pltxt"]While Aphrodite knew that it had been a silly thing to ask in the first place – Pan didn’t seem like the type to desire several females at his beck and call – she couldn’t help asking, and she was thankful that he didn’t seem to take it as distrust on her part. It was impossible to disguise the way relief flooded through her body: her shoulders visibly sank in a sigh, and her expression softened considerably. She suddenly felt incredibly lucky, and it was a very strange feeling for her to adjust to. Before meeting Pan, she never would’ve dreamed about returning to Kairos and facing what she’d left behind. She left fully intending to avoid Hyperion, Beleth, and the rest of their kind for however many days she had left to live. Yet here she was, curled up in a cozy makeshift den with none other than the emperor’s half-brother, planning to return with a new claim to keep her protected; the claims went against her idea of what a relationship was supposed to be, but Pan had a way of making it feel different, like it meant more than the title.

However, his upbringing in Kairos managed to sneak out in small ways. He slid into a slightly dominant position by prohibiting her from hunting with her injury like she asked to, but his tone wasn’t scolding or harsh like Beleth’s had been in the past. Aphrodite understood it had more to do with his concern over her well-being than a real desire to control her. Besides, when he softly grabbed her swinging paw in his mouth afterwards, and then offered her that ridiculous, goofy smile, there was no way that she could hold a grudge. She laughed, resigned to agree with him. Her injury might’ve felt like it was improving, but it would need more time than she’d given it. If he hadn’t been there, Aphrodite would’ve more than likely carelessly prioritized feeding herself that night over resting it properly. Pan only had her best interest in mind, and she wouldn’t think to protest that or take it for granted.

“Fine, but once I’m fully recovered I’d like to be responsible for our meals.” That way, she could at least partially take care of him in return. Of course, she wasn’t asking him to never hunt again, but she wanted him to know that at the end of a long day he could seek her out and have a meal and company already waiting for him. “Besides, it’ll help me reestablish myself in Kairos. I was a huntress before, and I’d be grateful to be named one again – but I’d like to earn a better title one day.” Her eyes brightened up, and for a moment she seemed lost in thought, a small smile pulling at the corner of her mouth. Perhaps, it’d please Pan some to see her already imagining her future there at his side. It wasn’t that she was ambitious – surely there were more sought after ranks than the hunters’ tier for those that were – but all she ever wanted was to be reliable and capable for those who needed it. It had taken time for her to build up enough confidence to even attempt to reach that goal.

Pan stood up, and for the first time her body was completely relaxed and comfortable as he moved across her to lay between her and the snow. When he laid down again and curled around her, resting his head on her shoulder, she smiled gleefully, feeling young and full of life once more as if she was hardly a year old and experiencing her first crush; in some ways she was, because even after all of this time, all of these years, Aphrodite had never been in the kind of caring relationship she longed to be in.

It was strange to think it could’ve been Beleth, and it really could have been, for she wished to give him a chance to treat her well in spite of the claim that constantly hung over her head as a bitter reminder of how they came to be together. As timid as she was, Aphrodite at the very least knew how she wanted to be treated, and she was glad she had finally found it.

Pan’s mouth split open into a wide yawn, and she tilted her head to the side to quickly touch her nose to his, eyes closing with affection once she made contact. “Sleep well.” Was all she said, but there was so much contentedness and warmth in her tone. She tried to express all of those emotions in her smiles, and in her eyes, so he could properly see it. It was the second night of, she hoped, many more to come.
