Moonlight on water

Burke cracked and couldn't keep up with the game. He laughed, but Osprey watched him in a calm and serious manner. The fact that unwanted pregnancy was a very real possibility kept her in line. Somewhere deep she wondered, whether she really had hooked up with this brute, because he had recognized her one way or another. Of course, this whole situation could be a bad row of coincidences and he was mistaking her for another wolf.

"This is a "no" then," she looked unimpressed by his laughter and joke. She decided to keep it as realistic as possible. "I had to realize that you are just as judgmental, old-fashioned and close-minded..." Osprey turned her muzzle away and began to sob (she had no idea, where this much of inspiration for a theatrical performance came from, but it was exciting in a way). "...bastard as everyone else here seems to be! You just can't accept an alternative way of living!" she spat angrily and got to her feet, shot Burke an acidic glance.

"But you will be able to see your kids on the weekends," she calmed down and looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes.

ooc: I haven't had so much fun in writing. I keep chuckling at how Osprey and Burke react to each other. :D
