The Tangle [M] And roar beside the lions thinking how is it so easy

The weight of responsibility felt heavy, and it settled in like cloak with stone-filled hems when Ashlar pulled away. She wondered if like her, he was a part of his pack’s leadership. She blushed- there was so very little she actually knew about him. While she too had responsibilities, her reaction was to shake her head, lean against him once more and utter a plaintive whine. No, she would not let him go. 

He seemed to say he might not be missed for a while yet, which made her lift her head and look up at him hopefully. If he could sacrifice some time…Perhaps it meant that he was not too tied down with responsibility. She smiled. 

”Please, Ashlar,
Stay with me, if you can…
I hope your pack will understan’.” She couldn’t stop the small, ashamed laugh that escaped her next. 
”If I could, I would steal you wid me, 
To come an’ live beside de sea.
But if dat not be what you wish, I’ll let you go,
Just know dat I will miss you, so.”
