Re: Mixed Up Matchings [Open]
He wanted nothing more than to curl up with her and spend all of eternity that way.
"That would be quite a sight, I imagine. Perhaps he'll do this in a public area, in front of others... As he dared try with you."
Sparkle hoped he managed to keep the tension out of his voice with that last statement, though he wasn't entirely sure as to how well he succeeded. This was welcome, at least. This was something he could deal with, something he could properly focus on, this protective anger for his mate.
"Would you mind if I asked about your bonded?"
He has paused for a moment and given the question a bit of thought before actually speaking. It could be a rather personal issue for some, but he felt she wouldn't mind. She anchored him.. And somehow he got the feeling that he helped to steady her, as well.
Having her around, having a real point without having any point at all in their conversation, was so soothing. He still felt odd, still felt as if he was struggling between two parts of himself, but now he also felt a balance settling in. Polite but friendly, perhaps.. Relaxed, if fumbling.
Finally, after so very long, he could start to relax.
Ah, my dearest love, how lost I would be without you.
