Ravensblood Forest The whispered promise

Palisander trotted towards the place where he would sleep with Isley. What he didn't expect was her to lay out all the herbs she gathered and even had some flowers there. His blood orange eyes looked surprised at the displayed beauty. Palisander let out a soft woof in greeting and trotted up to her. His tail wagging. As he got close he greeted her with a lick on her cheek.

"What is this?," he asked curiously. He wondered what her idea behind it was. Perhaps it was just beauty or perhaps it was another hint that their relationship might take a step further. He rather liked it to be the latter, though he could appreciate the beauty of it too.
