A Resolved Heart

He didn’t understand why, but it bothered him that she'd go off with others. Then Ruth would catch himself, shrugging it off since it wasn’t anything to do with him, her business was her own and like she didn’t have a say in his, Ruth didn’t have a right to hers. Still, How fancy we talkin’?

Again, he pretended to either not notice or ignore the lingering contact. His head had enough imagery to work with, imagination attempting to run with it, but she was talking again, offering distraction. Ruth scoffed, head jostling. Meg’s had him whipped since the day she arrived in the C. And Weddings are fun, sure. Plenty of drink and skirts to chase make it somewhat bearable. Behind the shades he’d roll his eyes at the candyfest of sunshine and rainbows, even if it was for two people who deserved it.

While Ruth could appreciate her attention to detail the elf sighed, unwilling to argue with her over the forge. Fine, but you best check in with Megara over where to put it… I dunno which forest clearing it’ll be in, but she’d be the one to organise where you can have it waiting in the wings. Nothing was going to go wrong. Not for the bride and groom anyway, he’d make sure of it.

Is that before or after I step on you or your toes? slipped out before he could stop himself, teeth flashing despite the image that particular nugget conjured, thank you for that. His mouth opened to say something… and then thought better of it when it came to taste. He wasn’t one to kiss and say what went on between he and Mina, not unless the lass was around and in on the banter. He didn’t share shit about what went on between the rounds of rutting and rolling. Those quiet moments.

Pfft. You’d have competition. I know the minute she’s left on her own that Coterie whelp will swoop right in. Ruth’s grin tightened at the thought, maybe he’d get Nairn to shift him to somewhere like the kitchens… maybe, but it would be moot if he didn’t ask her first.
