She was relieved that he did not fight back on her leaving if need be. That made her feel a lot better and she sighed a bit in response. She had a plan, and she could stick to it. Only problem is if Joxer appears when the pups are too small to walk on their own. The first few weeks were going to be the most dangerous, and she knew it.

”We are in agreement then,” she says with a nod. Azalea needed to get all this off her chest in order for this to work, otherwise she would not have hesitated to take the Sesh up on his offer to live with the cult. Not her preferred setting, but at least it was familiar with her upbringing.

”Anything is appreciated, Jaxxon. Apologies, the mother blood does lace my tongue,” she said genuinely, another sigh escaping her as a clean paw reached out to lay upon his. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she collected herself. ”Look, I understand your plight. I think I understand better than anyone. If I was in your position with Amaryllis…I cannot say what I would do. I really can’t,” she admitted. Amaryllis could have changed so much the past two winters they have been apart. Together, she knew exactly how Amaryllis would act. But after being apart? Who knows for sure.

”But don’t assume he is dead either. No body, no death. I sense you do not wish him dead, but nor do you wish your children dead. You a very much in a state of conflict, a conflict that will not resolve without either his dead body or his return. That must be very hard,” she said more gently now, returning to how she more normally speaks. She intended no romantic relationship to form between them, but instead wished only for their friendship in raising the puppies.

She compared his situation, of sorts, to her relationship with her sister... It was vastly different as Jaxxon was completely head over heels smitten with the male that had disappeared... A sigh escaped his lips as she finished her words and he resisted shaking his head in disagreeance.

Her voice lessened its harshness and she spoke sympathetic words to him and Jaxxon nodded in return. It is He forced out, pressing his head forward and turning to look back over his shoulder, as if expecting someone else to push past the shadows that crept into the den and reached for the pair. I want him home and... Part of me hopes he never comes home... Its a battle I don't wish to fight... And I normally don't run from fights... He chuckled, slowly turning his head back towards Azalea.

He lowered his head to rest it between his paws with a breath from his nose. Sometimes I wish I wasn't here to fight this battle... The Einvald admitted, bearing himself a little bit to the woman while under the influence. Sometimes it's easier to just... Fade away... He sighed, his eyes turning to stare at her toes before him as his lips slowly crafted syllables that were almost too hard to push out.

There was a paranoia in him, and she can see that with the way he acts. The conflict within the man was great, and it was apparent his brother had a hold on him…in a very different way than Azalea and Amaryllis.

”I guess only time will tell,” she mentioned, eyeing him carefully as he lowers his head and wishes he was gone. Faded away. It was a thing she never even thought about or considered. She tilted her pretty head a bit, sharp features considering what he said. She eyed his neck now, thinking of how easy it would be to take whatever blood she wanted from the bumbling male right now. She sighs a bit and bites her lip. She was in no position for a fight.

”Wasn’t here, hm? Where would you rather be right now?” she asked probingly, bringing her own paw back to her, crossing them as she kept herself rather high, confident, and pristine. Although she was dead serious about the safety of her future children, she naturally held this air to her that she was going to figure it out. Unbothered, perhaps. What could she do at this point anyway? She said her piece, and now it is just a matter of time.

”Who knows with this place, it brought us here, it might decide to spit us right out,” she pondered as she looked towards the mouth of the den. There was certainly something off about this place, and she wouldn’t be surprised if what she said was true.

Unbothered by everything, or so it seemed, she questioned where he would rather be and mentioned that this world brought them here, maybe it could take them out. She looked out towards the mouth of the den.

Anywhere... I'd love to go back but that ain't happening... He mumbled, shifting his eyes to look up at her own, studying her pristine and regal stance. Lifting his head he smiled and chuckled a little bit through his nose, a genuine sound. Forgive me for saying this but... Kinda hope our kids got your spunk and shit... You're quite something... Jaxxon murmured, gazing over her body and studying her intently.

She was regal, she was strong, she was... Something else... And if Jaxxon were one for growing attached to one night stands, which he was occasionally known for, he might have tried to swoop up Azalea for himself and call her Einvald along with himself and Nyra. He hoped their children had her strength...

Azalea huffed a bit at his response. Perhaps she is not the most sentimental type. She understood the desire to go back, in another time, back when she had her sister and Miles. But life went on, and Azalea adjusted. She made life work for her, no matter what.

”No need to linger on what cannot be. It does little for you. Of course, you can do as you please, but what will it get you?” she asked with a singular movement of her brow. Maybe it is what he needs to hear. Maybe not. She couldn’t tell to be honest.

She smirks at his comment, and ruffles her shoulders, giving a arrogant shake to her head in a playful way. At least he was a man who appreciated a fine woman when he saw one. ”Well of course, I am making them, aren't I?” she said playfully. ”I’ll make um good, perhaps I will give them your smile and eyes, a touch of charm,” she said with a wiggle, poking him on the shoulder with her nose now.

Too bad he wouldn’t be able to claim them as his. They are going to be grand.

No need to linger on what cannot be. It does little for you. Of course, you can do as you please, but what will it get you?

Hmm... She was right though...

He didn't linger, not now, he let it fade as he tried to be in the now with her. With the mother of his children... He sighed, letting a small smile tickle his lips as he gaze upon the beautiful woman who would bear the life he planted within her. Her mood shifted a bit at his comment and she waggled herself a little bit in his direction. Well of course, I am making them, aren't I? I’ll make um good, perhaps I will give them your smile and eyes, a touch of charm,

Jaxxon chuckled a little, his eyes squinting with a growing smile, that charm surfacing a little bit as he winked at her playfully. Charm eh? Well ain't that flattering... They'll be glorious... Jaxx mused, leaving his words hanging a little as he sighed again, his smile fading with thoughts that continued after his buzzed mumbled ended. I wish I could claim them as mine... Any of them...

It killed him to have offspring littered across the mountain that were bastards. It would probably be a little obvious who the father was from the colorations or eye colors but he hoped it wouldn't be too obvious... He hadn't even fathomed telling Nyra... Maybe he should...
