Seized by a
sudden impulse
, I held the phone up and took a
quick
selfie. My expression was serious - eyebrows slightly furrowed, mouth in a thin line.
Not quite
fiercely
angry... but
definitely
not smiling. I looked at the image on the screen for a long while.
> This is ridiculous. What am I doing? I should break this thing! It is clearly an important part of her master plan. No wonder she gave it back, since she intended to use it to... to keep trying to woo me! I see your question already, Vrika. But you ARE a princess and she’s the only one you told - so why is it so different coming from her? Well it JUST IS OKAY! Could not, for the life of me, figure out how to get out of the immediate area around a nice cave I’d found. Why should I let myself grow accustomed to this? When what I learn soon may very well preclude her... attentions. Does that mean that maybe... this place is specifically werewolf-friendly? <
Shifters might not usually
want
the healthcare of humans - especially for pregnancies. But if they did need it, they couldn’t exactly
reveal their nature
to standard human hospitals.
And a place like this that exists in the
Rimecoat territory
, known to be rather... open to ’visiting’ wolves? It made a
certain kind of sense
.
Of course, this realization brought a
whole new anxiety
. Concern about what this place’s connection might be to the
local pack
.
