You implied it, she scoffed with a playful nip as he, too, moved nearer—though it was not done to drive him away. That you would be wandering for a while longer, as your sister healed, Hydra reminded him; and his words did much to create inspiration and ideas both, neither of which she presently intended to act upon. Perhaps she had inspired him to do so, here and now; Hydra knew that good things required hard work, however, and was not so inclined to follow suit. But she was not a follower herself; that, the tawny wolf also knew. 

She circled him, mindful of the slick earth as thunder boomed above the duo, and lightning flashed thrice over in the distance. I know it, she responded. And you know I am no foolhardy woman, her tail lashed behind her, and though her lips did not lift in a smile, her eyes held the expression in their dark depths. Hydra did not want to tame; she did not want to bend him to her will or to have him bend the knee to her (her fantasies omitted). 

Hydra did not know what she wanted, beyond his nearness, which she presently had—but neither of them were willing to keep it, as it stood. 

And then it came to her, what she wanted—some sort of compromise, acknowledged or otherwise. His willing return; his courting; his proof of commitment to her, and her proof of commitment to him when the seasons shifted; mantles be damned, Hydra felt in her bones she was meant to take, not be given (though that certainly did not mean she intended to take from her family)—there was risk, but there was reward, much of it. 

She wondered if it was something that he thought of, or saw in her—and if he did not, Hydra determined that he would see it once it was too late... Hydra placed her muzzle over his shoulder, her tail swaying. It had come to her once before, when he had filled out in his stay at Moonspear, her idea of a future with him—it presented itself again to her, but she would digress if he gave up on the chase. 

There were easier things to catch, after all; but none of them would ever amount to her.
I'll find that you'll find that I'm lethal
