Wapun Meadow Courtship and Pronghorns

Last post from me! This was a good one. Full of DRAMA. Lol.

Majesty was saddened by her words - of course he would be - but he understood. And he loved her enough to wait. He told her this quietly. He told her that he would wait as long as it took for her to be alright with leaving - even if she was never okay with leaving. He told her that she was worth it.

He nuzzled her softly along the furless, scarred half of her face, and then pressed his entire head against it and held it there so that, from afar, it would have looked as though their bodies had meshed. "I love you, Erika," he whispered. "Ma Belle. I will be with you always, no matter what happens."

He wanted - needed - her to believe him. Sometimes she was the only thing keeping him from completely doubting himself and his skills as a leader. She kept him steady. He needed her with him. He needed her in order to know that he was whole. And he would do whatever it took to keep her.
