Snowforest Taiga I traveled all these miles for you

So it seemed that, in this at least, they were two sides of the same coin. He had been taught that females were lesser and she, makes. They both thought that such ways of thinking were... Nonsensical. They were all the same species, the same being. And one could not live without the other. You needed male and female to reproduce. But he understood perfectly that it was politics at play as well.

Her ears lowered, a sign of her displeasure at the thought of leaving. She would need to lay these thoughts aside and pick at them later. And perhaps... A conversation with the Prince himself was in order. If he stayed, suddenly she found herself wanting to stay as well, but she wasn't going to let herself have a knee jerk reaction, either. "I will," She promised solemnly.

His nudge made her look up, bright eyes curious. Her tail cut the air again, pleased with the offer. "I will definitely come visit. Maybe you can help me explore the Southern region." What she didn't expect was for Sebastian to offer to join his pack, and though she was appreciative of the offer, she shook her head. "I would not bring our drama to your doorstep. My sister Amazons would be... Displeased should I abandon them. And I do not wish to abandon anyone, knowing how much I hate that feeling. But thank you. That was sweet of you."

Soon after, she ran for the pond, not noticing that he was not right behind her. Sure that she would find him upon surfacing, she looked around, obviously perplexed until he rushed out of where he'd been hiding. A gasp stole her breath, eyes and mouth wide only to catch a face full of water. Spluttering, Nocta caught her breath and shook the water from her eyes before giving him a playfully angry look. That he ruined with a splash. "Hey!" She laughed, turning her head away as she splashed him back. "Totally unfair. You let me win and you caught me off guard!" For that, she would pounce him, a dark leg thrown over his shoulders to try and dunk him.
