The Monster That You Made

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:35 am

The wolf looks at her for a long moment and then gets up. Maybe she's done cleaning the clearing.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:36 am

"Did that make you uncomfortable? What I just said?" She asks as she goes to follow.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:37 am

Why would it?

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:39 am

"Because you didn't answer."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:44 am

I don't like to think about it. It's constantly on her mind.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:46 am

"Last night you... indulged like you might never get to again."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:55 am

And I still don't understand why that was bad.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:59 am

"Perhaps it wasn't."

"I just wonder if you did it because you weren't sure you'd ever get the chance again."

"Do you think your goddess is that fickle?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 1:02 am

No. But people leave.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 1:04 am

"You don't have to worry about driving me away. You can say what you feel. You can tell me 'no.'"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 1:12 am

If you say so...

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 1:59 am

"Do you think I'm being unrealistic here?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 2:13 am

I think, perhaps, that you have the best intentions, the wolf says carefully.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 2:28 am

"But only that, aye?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 2:37 am

I have been abandoned repeatedly. I cannot help but believe it will happen again and proceed according... Just as she's about to finish, they get close to the clearing and two ice golems rises up from the ground and hold up their hands for them to stop. She is still angry with me.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:05 am

"Seems so."

"Time enough to finish your thought, then."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:14 am

I cannot help but believe it will happen again and proceed accordingly. That is all.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:25 am

"And did anything bad happen when you admitted that?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:04 am

You're not the one who has a problem with what we did. She gives a pointed look at the sentinels.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:10 am

"...no, I rather liked what we did," she admits.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:47 am

Then we are in agreement.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 2:19 pm

"What scares her is the notion that you would've said 'yes' to that no matter what, because it was attention from me."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:44 pm

The wolf looks confused. Why would I say no to attention from you? That does not make sense.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:47 pm

"I just... I don't want you to feel like you need to please me in order to get it. I like you, quite a lot."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:52 pm

So you do not want me to please you? She tilts her head and then starts walking away from the clearing. I should return to the Den. The longer I'm here, the angrier she will get.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:55 pm

"I'll come with you," she says, starting back down the trail.

"I don't want you to feel like my affection for you is conditional," she explains, putting a hand on the wolf as they walk.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 3:58 pm

You're asking me to take the favor of my goddess for granted.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:05 pm

"Because it is."

"I don't need you as a dog begging for scraps from me. You're a much prouder creature than that."

"You're clever, and wild, and wonderful. Last night we were just beasts together and it was... there was something pure about it."

"I love you. Not as just a servant. I love you."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:24 pm

That seems to startle the wolf and her step falters for a bit. I... I will have to think about that.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:25 pm

"That's... that's fair. I know that's a lot."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:37 pm

You are one of my mates. I care for you deeply. I just did not assume you felt as deeply...

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:41 pm

"Why did you think that?"

"I'm not offended. I just wonder if it means I've not been treating you well."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:48 pm

She... She jerks her head back towards the clearing. ...is constantly reminding me that one cannot assume the feelings of others or that those feelings will remain constant. Her voice briefly morphs into a perfect copy of human-Tereza's. Things change. People change. Shit happens.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:49 pm

"So I need to work on giving you less reasons to doubt. Both of you."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:50 pm

I believe your giving and my taking are part of the reason I am out here and we are having this conversation, the wolf points out.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:53 pm

"Part of the reason, aye. But also understanding, on both sides of this."

"Part of the reason is also me coming up smelling like wolf even after a shower," she smirks faintly.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:54 pm

I like that. She does not. She blames me.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:55 pm

"She does. I tried to tell her I don't mind it, but she wasn't having it."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 5:57 pm

She is worried we have cursed you as well. She still hasn't forgiven us for what happened to our other mate.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 28, 2020 6:00 pm

"Even though Viv has?"

"I almost think we're better as a pack."
