Horizon Ridge ~Singing softly to the empty night~

While the woman settled upon her haunches, the Viking remained standing, though had relaxed his pointedly dominate position slightly. She had shown him respect, and had not made any moves to challenge his authority of the situation, nor to cross over the scent markers that kept them divided. The temperatures seemed to be in a constant, enigmatic flux here, varying from a teasing of spring the way a woman might tempt with her body in heat, back to the barren cold. Nevertheless, Spring was on it’s way and with it the thought of procreation. Idly, Björn could not help of think the intoxication of a female in her season, the primitive urges to possess and plant his seed, the desire to take what was given to him and spread the Lothbrok genetics to many sons (and daughters). Björn was not partial even to the title of ‘mate’ in truth. He would offer stud services where they were wanted - to reproduce or just for recreation - so long as if it was for reproduction permission had been granted because he certainly wasn’t going to jeopardize what he was working for the sake of a night of wanton passion.

“I am sure Thistle Cloud would be more than willing to assist you,” Björn had not pegged her for the type of girl to turn away someone who needed her help be it with an injury or knowledge. This was solidified by her prevailing patience with him. Björn watched as the woman hesitated at his question, and he thought that it meant she was reluctant to confirm it though he could see and smell the evidence for himself, but her eyes met his and the Savage waited, holding her gaze until she dropped it with the admittance that her children had been aborted, or killed shortly after their birth. Björn remained silent, thinking that it was a waste for a fertile female to lose her young. Perhaps there was a small measure of pity if only because her body still either thought she was pregnant or was still producing for ghost children.

Neither of which Nuka could control.

Going to draw @Pump towards this, since it is technically a joining thread. :p
