Moonspear crazy hormonal fat whale

She snooped along, taking the surroundings in easily and continued to better adjust to the scenery. Just as the cave had changed itself, so had they over the many months that had spanned. This was her only time returning to here since they had last left it, prompting her to marvel curiously at how that had worked out -- how it seemed to be reserved for them, together.

While the frozen walls had been a bit more interesting to behold visually, she was beginning to think she preferred it this way with the cool, clear waters being a large part of this all. Then again, she was feeling more bothered by the heat lately than she ever had been before. Maybe that preference was just that talking more loudly than the rest right now. Anyway, she knew she needed a cool off in a great many, many ways.

But she got the sense he kept a distance, even here and now. Although, she really only paid him mind from the corner of her eye until she finally turned to face him. She wondered why, exactly, if it was because he (rightfully) feared her teeth or her pushing him away or something else relating to either Lazarus or Althaia entirely. Amekaze couldn't deny that it had her feeling conflicted, too, although grasping for the right way to move right on past it. So long as he minded her (kept her fed, didn't get on her nerves, kissed her ass a little, etc.), she seemed less inclined to lash, but she admittedly missed that certain sort of closeness only he had been allowed

So she'd test it to see if he was staying back for her sake, or his. She'd have to show him that just because of the wrongs wrought upon her, she did not have to be kept at arm's length. More often than once, Ame was curious if that had been why he'd allegedly been driven to take advantage of Althaia's heat.. but she also preferred the belief he upheld that he had nothing to do with it, as it was far easier to swallow. More than anything, the not-knowing of that made her uneasy about him. Anyway, she backtracked to move beside him and lightly splashed some of the shallows up with her approach. This carried her right in close enough to sidle up against his side, her shoulder matching up with his.
