Phoenix Maplewood [m] i'm ready to build a wall behind every step i've taken

for a reason wintersbane cannot entirely place — and without much cause — he is a little suspicious as to whether or not she was telling the truth. would it matter, he wonders next? they would be numerous territories away and travelling to and fro would be cumbersome for him and them ...and he had his own children within the confines of his own home to tend to. perhaps severing of contact was easier.

nevertheless, he doesn't focus on it for long.

only conceals the cringe he wants to make with a twitch of his tail against his hindlegs when she asks that she wants it to be quick. as if it was something she was dreading. it makes him wonder what she's truly doing here, asking this of him ...

but he will not complain.

very well. wintersbane agrees, drawing nearer to her, where, with her further permission, he will draw her into his embrace, doing his best to comply to her wishes and not unnecessarily drag out the process.
