Ravensblood Forest the one minute. the soldier's minute

The Donnelaith woman gave voice to her observation her tone laced with her blunt favor. Arturo took it in, analyzing it, contemplating it. Possessive? Was he? He'd always been a man who knew what he wanted, and had given an ultimatum to get it. Give it to me. Or else. Was it the same thing? Alas, the Ceannasach did not linger upon it, unwilling to let it distract him what was in front of him. Arturo watched as she slid her muzzle down the lighter fur that draped like an luxurious scarf 'round her throat. Her movements were elegant, alluring even if she did not intend for them to be. Appreciating beauty was no new thing for the Fearghal monarch but this was not the same. When he appreciated a woman's beauty he forgot about her in a few hours — out of sight and out of mind. The bard lingered in his thoughts like a decadent whisper, and though he could have easily passed it off as it being because she had been Chusi's guardian before him but ...that would have been a lie.

He watched intently as she repeated his word of granted permission to her, fiery gaze following the languid movement of her body as she lowered, her muzzle visible over the outcropping though not as visible as her wiggling rump as she verbally toyed with him. Here? She had asked him, no doubt meaning her outcropping she had been majestically resting upon when she'd initially called out to him. Followed soon after by the question of if he wanted her nearer. She called him something in a language that Arturo did not understand but he didn't linger upon it. As far as Arturo was concerned at the moment she could call him anything she so desired and he would not be fussed.

“Nearer." The gangster encouraged, the smoky reticence of his voice husky with the rumbling purl that invited her to tease him so and to close the distance between them while she did it. As far as Arturo was concerned if he was going to allow her to so sweetly torment him with her flirtations and teasing they might as well do it right.
