[It could be considered rude, the way that Eun confronts him as directly as she has. It came as questions, of course, but she pursued the answers he had clearly hoped to avoid volunteering. She is patient in waiting for his answer, but what tension and stillness had grown in her while asking her questions eases slowly with his answer. Because he does answer her. Because she was right. Because he didn't try to lie to her to avoid a harder discussion.
Eun does not rush him, does not interject, or do anything other than listen while he speaks. She welcomes his touches, thinking that in this case he finds it calming on top of everything else. While not being as observant as he is of the smaller details, they are so close to one another, wrapped up in each other that she notices most of his reactions.
It is not lost on her that he, the dominant werewolf, has lowered his eyes in front of her. And while she does not consider it anything close to admitting her dominance, it seems significant to her still. Just as the rest of his explanation is. If not for his last confession, she might have closed the distance between them for a kiss, something to try and settle him and reassure him that she is not going anywhere. But if the wolf enjoys their play, it seems the wrong signal to give at that moment. Her hand smooths over his shoulder slowly, as much to comfort as it is to enjoy the feel of him close to her.]
I won't do anything to challenge you when it comes to how you decide to deal with your wolf. And while I'm pretty sure it's obvious, it doesn't hurt to make it clear that earlier the enjoyment was completely mutual. [She breathes in deeply, sighing out a breath as her eyes close briefly. This is not a track she wants to get lost on right now, no matter how tempting.]
I like that I'm not the only one thinking ahead when it comes to the possibilities for us, because otherwise I might feel very foolish considering some of the directions my thoughts have gone since last night. And I like that you are trying to be forthcoming about your life so that I'm fully informed. It's part of us getting to know each other, which we both want. But my youth does not automatically mean that I believe a faster, more packed lifestyle is better than anything else. What my youth means is that I'm still figuring it all out for myself. And if I'm being perfectly honest, being here in Aspen Creek may end up being more exciting for me than all of my time in California. Because of you.
[She kisses him then, briefly, chastely, but with feeling.]
Your years of experience are a strength to make up for my lack. Just like my ability to keep up with the world could be a strength for you.
