But he warms to it eventually, sinking into her embrace with reciprocating emotion, and then some. Although Imperia initiated the contact, when Moonmade leans into her, a brilliant warmth blossoms within her chest; fluttering like butterflies. She holds him there for as long as she can, indulging in the bliss which originates from her proximity to someone she...cares for immensely. Although those three whispered words shared between them hint at something more, something deeper, all Peri can think about is how empty she felt without Moon beside her. He calmed her when no one else could, made her laugh when she wanted to cry. Of all the people in the world, only he can do those things.
There is a brief moment of world-shattering disappointment when he steps away from her, but Imperia is careful not to let it show upon her visage. She does not want to be seen as rude or ungrateful. Instead, the petite wolf listens quietly to his words, doll-like eyes fixated upon the lion with a gentle intensity.
"Okay," replies the creature with a tiny smile; shy and uncertain, though curious. "Lead the way." He must want to say something more, but not in front of the others. Her heart thunders in her chest, but is it out of anticipation or fear? Who knows? Perhaps her heart knows more about what is going on between the two of them than what her logical brain would like to admit.
