The little bleeder could hardly control the laugh in his throat. He blinked to Kerberos with acid green eyes, grinning as smile slithered out from between his tiny needle-like teeth. “You think he is a threat? He has helped keep me well fed these past few weeks—a child between them when she has just lost her lifemate not long ago would be a blessing to my hunger. However…”
He took a few gliding steps closer, still eyeing the mechanical dog. “It would be in our best interests to break up this little love fest early—wouldn’t you say?”
There was a shift in the Gyrraptor’s body language that let Clave know something was going wrong in his plan. He hadn’t made eye contact, had her? No, no…just turned his head towards the general direction where Argus spoke from. His mind whirled for an explanation, should one be asked of him. He tried not to let the worry show and just contained it. Outwardly, he grinned to no one in particular.
“I can hear in your voices there is something more."
Malu listened to Argus and felt her heart break in two. One piece leapt to her throat at the partial proposal. The other piece….fell to the pit of her stomach. Maybe…maybe this was moving to fast. But she couldn’t deny that she needed Argus right now—she needed that strong shoulder to go to for support. If it lead to more…that would just have to come with time. She did not look at either male, just focused on the ground before her and walked. This might be a longer journey than she had first anticipated.
"I have been hidden, scorned, adored, worshiped, forsaken, coveted and banished more times than I care to count. But the one thing all those experiences cannot steal from me is the gentle soul I was born with, the kind heart I have molded, and the bright ideals for the future that have lit my way through the darkness of the past."
