Frostfire Ridge something for the soul

She looked at him with a sense of confusion and apology. Why? The surprise was to be expected, but not this. Did she see no reason as to why he should find no interest to seek her? Apparently so, given the query she gave.

He wanted to laugh. Not because it was funny... no, but, because the thought racing his mind was why wouldn't he want her?

Shikoba... Inutsuk gave a slight shake of his head, choking back that chortle. Your scars are what make you beautiful. They show courage, determination, strength, and wisdom beyond anything else. You have given away silky fur and poise to fight what for you love; who you love. Every time that I look to you, I feel immense admiration. My eyes don't stop and see sordid features as others would. I see a pretty woman and a caring heart. That is what I want my heart to pursue.

Sighing contently, he'd hoped his explanation came out the way he wanted and that she would understand what he meant. As his words had come to a close, Inutsuk set his chin upon her crown, remaining silent only for a moment before parting it to speak again. The snout remained above her as he did so. Never compare yourself to another like that. None lack beauty, especially you. Everyone differs. Just, this is how I see yours.
