Cerulean Cape hey-- i was doing just fine before i met you

The shadow wondered if she was being fair to Engel-- and decided instantly that yes, she was. He was annoying and undesirable to her, but surely someone would have found him charming. Especially if he had been around as much as he implied. If he was not with them now, well-- he was a fool to abandon a thing some (namely, Tine) would commit atrocities to obtain. The way he had spoken of love, she knew he must have had it before. Tine couldn't imagine feeling a jealousy more deep or cutting.
She shifted a little, rubbing her muzzle against his cheek. He would know love again, if Tine was successful. And he would know heartbreak, too.
I feel very lucky to have met you. The Messeda girl murmured, pine-green gaze fixed on him with an intensity she did not usually attempt.
