Stavanger Bay Pregnant, grouchy, hungry

he hasn't seen much of elixir since their encounter, and this fact has put him on edge. he's been anxious, and so he has tried to make himself easy to find, frequently hunting and patrolling the borders in hopes of running into her. it hasn't really worked, though... until today, apparently. he's awkwardly clutching a crushed crab in his jaws when elixir finds him, bleeding a little from his muzzle where it'd snagged him, but he quickly forgets the entire thing when he spots her. he drops the crab, not sad in the least to leave the thing behind momentarily as he moves to greet her. as he draws nearer, he reaches to touch her cheek hesitantly, uncertain whether his company is still welcome after their encounter; what if she's decided that she regrets it, that she hates him? worse, what if she's pregnant now, and has decided he will not be involved with their children? these thoughts plague him, and he can't quite keep the anxiety from his expression as he looks at her. all he can do is hope that everything is alright.
