Swiftcurrent Creek Crimson and clover

XD Woo! I feel inspired.

"It's a preference."

Bazi's ears drooped with each word, until she had none at all - only two padded triangles against her head, like the base of an unfinished hat. Danica dismissed the opportunity to blame Ferdie - he was not the cause, and she refused to blame him. She refused to blame anyone, which surprised and annoyed Bazi, who was desperate to sweep the whole thing under the carpet where it belonged.

What was she to do now? If Danica had fallen for Kaskara, or Paarthurnax.. then she could have intervened as an outsider, or at least turned a blind eye until such a time as she felt ready to deal with the problem. But the affections that Danica harboured were for Bazi herself. It made her uncomfortable to think back on the physical affection she had showed her pack-mate - snuggling up to her for comfort, or offering wet kisses when Paarthurnax did her duties as a healer. All of that felt wrong now that she knew how it had been received, and it made her shudder inwardly.

On the other hand, the thought of losing Danica - the wolf, not the sexuality - turned her throat into a desert.

"What do you want from me?" she grumbled. Now that she had gotten it off her chest, would Danica allow her to move on as if nothing had ever happened, and wash her paws of this temporary insanity?
