His smile returned, primarily for her, though it didn't quite reach his eyes - not like before. More than anything, Artyom longed for the connection that came with partnership. It had never been in his nature to stray, never once tempted on his travels by the perfume of breeding season. Those scents drew him in, instinctively, but he practiced his control remarkably well.
No, a one-night-stand, brief fling or "friend with benefits" was not what he wanted. Artyom had a lot of love to give in return for that of another, and knew right at the heart of him that his loyalty could be strong for the right she-wolf. Claws dragged dirt from their hollow as he pondered this, though Dawn's voice drew him from diving too deep into his wanderings.
An ear pricked toward her. He knew exactly what he wished to ask: are you, or have you ever been, in love? At once the alarm bells in his head rung, reminding him how forward and foolish it would be to ask such a delicate question, so he tucked that one away. "Ah," a hint of a laugh then, "sorry. How about... where is your favourite place to be? Not just here, but anywhere in this world that you have seen."
