Elaine closed the distance in a slow, deliberate prowl. Not hesitant, simply choosing not to waste a single heartbeat of the moment he'd offered her. The runes along her fur pulsed brighter, each flare a warm thrum beneath her skin, but she ignored them the way one ignores their own racing pulse. They were loud, insistent, almost singing yet none of it mattered compared to the way Rivers looked at her now. "Old magic," she murmured, voice low but steady, "or new… you're the one who called it awake." She lifted her head, brushing her muzzle lightly against his jaw first. A wolf's greeting, a promise, a test of his steadiness. The glow intensified, casting soft light across his features, but she didn't shy from it. If anything, she leaned closer, letting the warmth spill between them. Her breath mingled with his. "If you’re taking the time," she said, softer still, "then I'll meet you halfway."
And with that, Elaine tilted her head and pressed a gentle, deliberate kiss to him. Not heated, not rushed, simply honest. Her devotion offered plainly, without fear.
