Blackfoot Forest dance at bougival

Fearing briefly that he had caused some upset, Renoir remained silent as the more dominant woman speaks; or rather, the two of them engage in a swift conversation. It is easy to follow along with - however, as the topic of marriage pops up, Ren feels a mixture of surprise, apprehension, and oddly enough confidence. It is not the first time he has heard of such demands being made.

Before he can sputter any form of response, a male strides up to Amara and his words swiftly veto the discussion. Renoir is left to sort out his next move - and while he had not come here seeking a home, having the option presented to him and just as succinctly removed, causes his already weakened heart to flutter with uncertainty.

This is sad news. Even if their ways were familiar, even welcome, he would have to obey and take himself elsewhere. Oui, I will... Go, rapidment, and bother you no further.
