Darkest Knight

[sunchaser9000]

Andrei was on his way back to Medley's after feeding. She deserved for her lifemate to court her, but how he could court her he had no idea. She seemed to care for her garden a great bit...perhaps there was a way within that...He knocked on the door to the cottage, still thinking about what he could do for her.  

[Jezbel]

She peered out then opened the door. "Hunting go ok?" Stepping aside to let him in.. luckily she kept a neat house.  

[sunchaser9000]

"When I wasn't distracted, I did very well." He stepped inside and looked around, "You have a very lovely home."  

[Jezbel]

She smiled "Thank you. Distracted?"  

[sunchaser9000]

He smiled, "Yes...my mind kept traveling back to a beautiful woman I had left behind, alone in her home. I found myself wanting to return to her as quickly as I could."  

[Jezbel]

She blinked and blushed "Oh.. well you don't have to worry. No one ever comes by here. I don't think I've ever seen another pony ever walk or fly by"  

[sunchaser9000]

"That was not the reason I wished to return. You are quite lovely when you blush."  

[Jezbel]

That made her blush a bit more though she gave him a teasing grin "So you were distracted because you wanted to see me blush?"  

[sunchaser9000]

"Close. I was distracted because I wanted to see you. You are the light in my soul. Being away from you only makes me want to stay with you more. The pull between lifemates is strong. I will simply have to be satisfied with your company and your smile for now."  

[Jezbel]

She tilted her head "That sounds... difficult. We'll work on balancing out having you stay close enough for your pull while not making me feel smothered." Giving a small, firm nod "I don't think it should be too hard to figure out"  

[sunchaser9000]

He nodded, "You are taking this quite well. My brother's lifemate put up quite a fight, even though she was born Carpathian. She was also younger than you when they first met, though."  

[Jezbel]

She shrugged "Its something that needs to happen regardless so fighting it seems rather silly to me and a waste of energy. Better to discuss and learn civilly and possibly compromise than fight and have us both suffer."  

[sunchaser9000]

"Another logical thought from my lifemate. And I suspected that all women were driven by emotions instead logic."  

[Jezbel]

She rolled her eyes "You obviously haven't been around many females. We can be more emotional than males.. but that doesn't mean we can't be intelligent or think logically either."  

[sunchaser9000]

"It has been some time since I have allowed myself to be in the presence of a female...Or really anyone for that matter." Andrei's mind flitted back to the last time he had been so at ease and in mixed company. The terrible memories hit him with a new rawness and he shook his head and moved to sit down.
