Ouroboros Spine in hopes that i'd decline

she explains to him the difference of the courting stage between moonglow and her birth pack. though they are different, there are enough similarities that it doesn't sound too arduous. and, in fact, he finds that he likes her's better ( though he would never admit such to kukutux ). his mind flashes back to rodyn's grand proposal and feels that familiar soft stirring of second hand embarrassment.

it had felt like it shouldn't have been for the whole pack to witness.

besides that, nasamik's way shared the responsibility instead of it being solely upon the man's shoulders.

i would never tell ajakuluk this, but i like your pack's way of handling courting, he admits sheepishly. marriage is meant to be a partnership, yeah? it makes sense that it's split between the two to express their interest and devotion.

but these were just his thoughts.

a soft flush rises in his cheeks at the word 'consummate' because he is still boyish enough to find it a bit awkward and embarrassing despite that he knows how cubs are born and that it's expected of marriage couples to have cubs. eventually.

you're not boring me at all. it's interesting. i like learning about other cultures and traditions. he offers in what he hopes is reassurance.
