PREMISE

All the stories are true. Years ago, the Fae came out because technology was making it harder and harder for them to hide, and it's been a couple of years since the werewolves did the same. The world is changing day by day. Humans and the paranormal live side by side, but it's not easy nor is it simple. While the Marrok has taken great lengths and care to preserve the werewolves' PR front, everyone - wolf, fae, vampire and other - know that it's only a matter of time before the humans start thinking that perhaps the other stories meant to warn of the dark are true.

This is an open post set in the universe of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. The books are amazing and you should definitely check them out. More information via this Wiki link. The rules are simple: Drop a prompt, leave a tag, and let's play!

[He's been telling her from the start about all of this. That he is unstable. That his wolf is unstable. Angry. Volatile. He has told her many times in calm, and clear ways. But today feels like the first day that she understands exactly what he means when she is given context with regards to her.

It does not make her fear him, not even now, but his words have given both she and her wolf reason to be more thoughtful and aware of these things. Eun briefly considers asking him if he thinks there is even a possibility that one day his wolf may not look upon her so well, but it seems a can of worms not worth opening now.]

If you did not care very much for that person I imagine you'd have good reason for that. All the same, I'm glad your wolf likes me as much as it does. [She pauses a beat, reaching up to press her fingers into his short hair, to toy with the short ends with her fingertips.] Maybe it's the fact I am so young and so new a werewolf that made it easier for it to trust me. To allow itself to like me. I'm far from a threat, and my wolf and I may be strong but neither of us is stupid to question which of our two wolves is the more dominant one.

[Her lips spread into a smile then, as she teases:]

Or maybe I am just that charming.

[nosco]

Let us go with the last one.

[ He leans into her touch, grateful over how well she takes things in stride. ]

If anything, it is the explanation I am most comfortable with because it rings the most true.

[lastcall]

[She could question what it is about her original theory he thinks doesn't ring true, but in the end she is...simply glad that this conversation has gone so much better than the other two. Her leg slides higher to stay closer to Asil, smile fading to a more relaxed, neutral expression. Her tone remains light and easy.]

In that case, I think I could get away with a lot, with the amount of charm I have. [She leans in to kiss the corner of his mouth.] Is there anything you want to talk to me about, or ask me, before we decide what we want to do next with our day?

[nosco]

Nothing that cannot wait.

[ He hugs her close and caresses her cheek. ]

Would you like another movie? Otherwise I am happy to carry you back upstaurs where we can idle around in bed.

Granted, [ his eyes warm with the suggestion ] you are also free to enjoy me however you please.

[lastcall]

[It's been Asil's way, Eun realizes, to prompt her to say what's on her mind even when she mentions that it's nothing that needs discussing at that moment. She half considers doing the same, but she is easily distracted by the offer to carry her back up to bed and let her do as she pleases with him. A smile slides back onto her face as she cuddles in closer against him.]

Oh, how could I possibly resist that offer? I think you should definitely carry me back upstairs to your bed, mi amor.

[They are not so hurried now, and Eun is certain that not only will she enjoy being carried up once more, but the time to laze around in bed with him. While it's true that he has offered to let her enjoy him as she pleases, she wonders if he'll expect that at least at the start, there's little more that she wants than to enjoy holding him and being held.]
