It was becoming a bit hard to think and she had to consciously focus on words. She shivered again, feeling his nose touch her neck, "As...as long as nothing happens..." She managed to say, eyes still closed, "You'll hardly be corrupting me, will you?" She could deal with this, no problem, just...not too much more. She would have to keep track of where he was.
She sucked in a small breath, surprised at the sudden sensation of his body next to hers. How had he gotten so close? Why the hell did she want to lean against him? It didn't make sense. She had always stood on her own. No support had ever been wanted or needed.
She was silent for a long moment, listening and musing over what he had said. She took her time with answering, "There's...something..." She said at last, "But I hope we can be...friends first, yes?"

Caelen chuckled slightly, oh the innocent thing didn't think a simple touch could corrupt? Stopping was probably going to kill him. He moved his body against hers softly, letting her feel him next to her, "Aye lass, tis only me... Yer a quick learner but I've a feelin' ye'll be the one ter teach me in the end."
Slowly Caelen swung his body away from hers, moving his neck from the base of her neck all the way up to her face once. His green eyes were staring keenly at her closed ones and carefully he lipped and nuzzled at her. "Aghra, yer a lot ter handle."
Once again he moved slowly, taking a step back out of her space, "Aye lass, we'll be friends first and fer a long time I'm gatherin' afore yer ready ter try today's activity again."

This wasn't good, not good at all. Just as things were getting good--he moved away. Now, normally Azariel would have appreciated such a gesture, he was being very kind to her and her well being after all, but she had been enjoying that (though if one ever asked, she'd never admit it) and she was wont to make it stop.
Her neck and face still tingled from his touch and she wasn't very keen on letting that sensation pass for a bit. So, when the green stallion stepped back and away from her, she didn't let go far.
"We'll be friends in a few minutes," It was her turn to do something, "Just for a moment, let's be something more," She pressed her muzzle against his nose for a moment then shifted to nuzzle his cheek softly, "Just for a moment..." She was a fool, courting things like this too much and too fast. What would happen now?

This wasn't good, not good at all. He had finally figured out that his tightly held leash wasn't going to snap and then she looked at him. Lord those lovely eyes nearly made him buckle. When in the hell had THAT happened? If this hadn't become such a serious time he would've been likely to throw a temper tantrum of his own.
His own body was doing some tingling of it's own. His mind seemed nearly completely fuzzed over. Lord give me strength.
"Lass.." This was going to be hard to explain without making her blowup at him. "Yer so lovely an soft lass, but it's because 'o that that I canna let this go farther." His deep green muzzle rubbed against her, wishing her could take what she offered now, "I'll nae turn ye down again lass, but ye need ter think... If we go any farther yer mine fer keeps."

Azariel was silent for a few moments, "Do you understand, that if you don't let this go further--not that I intend to let it go very much farther--" She breathed softly against his neck, "That it'll be hell ever getting me back to something like this?"
She rest her head against his neck for a moment, sighing softly, "Mm...definitely going to be a rough time," She sighed again, and to a minuscule step backward, just far enough that she could look at him again, "But if you're willing to wait and try for it..."
She shook her head, becoming a bit cranky already from separation, which was rather odd if she thought about it, "Maybe one day you will have me for keeps." She looked up at him through her white tresses, "That is, if you're willing to put up with me."

Caelen was equally silent, "Oh aye lass, I know exactly what I may be giving up but if I needed ter give ye a reminder of what YE may give up by refusin' me I know I could do it without too much mussin'" He didn't mean to sound cocky but if he threatened to leave her completely she would probably submit for this again.
"Lass It'd be a sick an twisted stallion ter take from ye before the rough times've been fought out." A quick nuzzle against her neck, "but I doubt ye'll be puttin' yer nose up at me touchin' yer neck again. Seems I'm minus an ice princess."
"If I wasna willin' ter put up with ye - I'dve nae given ye a taste of me. So to speak." He chuckled warmly and eyed her, "Yer father's nae likely ter take to an oldie like me watchin' over his darlin' 'fore I make ye mine."

Azariel snorted, no matter how much she enjoyed the sensations he stirred in her, she could do without them in the name of stubbornness and pride, "Are you so sure about that?" She asked, looking up at him with a single eyebrow raised.
She rolled her eyes, looking away from him. Damn it, he was right for the most part. She definitely wouldn't mind much of any touch from him anymore. Damn him. "Perhaps," She said at last, not willing to give up in this petty fight.
She snorted again, ears flicking backward, "My father understands these things well enough, he's been through it quite a bit." She shook his head, "And I'm sure if you tried you could meet him and discuss it yourself; if you want to find him it should be easy." She should know, when she had been a foal it had always been simple to find him.

Caelen chuckled lightly and smiled down at her easily. "Oh aye, I'm very certain lass but I suppose I'll have ter be sure that I ask ye very nicely or I demand as sweetly as I can manage ter." My she was a wily thing to nail down.
It was irrisistable to roll his eyes back at her. Och, his mother had whapped him a good time or two for daring to roll his eyes. That of course had been on the day of his first steps. She'd raised him to have manner, perhaps he would have to tame his mare too?
His mare? Now where had that come from? Well.. when Life give lemons ye make lemonade. Looks like she's my lemonade, eh? Oi. "Oh? I'll have ter see if anythin' develops to where I'll bee needin' ter speak with yer father, eh lass?"

Azariel shook her head, "Humph," She snorted, looking at him suspiciously, "Mm, just get close enough to try it, Caelen," She rumbled softly, only partially joking. Already her old attitude was returning, pity.
She raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side, looking up at him, "Ah, so you think nothing will happen then?" She mused, a smile twitching her lips, "Pity, perhaps I was hoping for some entertainment during the many months left of my life."
She took another step back, this one larger then the other, perhaps she was planning something of her own, eh? No sense in not having fun, even though it wouldn't be the same "Fun" as moments before. Perhaps she was in a mood for a run? To clear to her mind, that was it, and if Caelen wanted to come along...how could she stop him?
"I think I'll go for a run," She mused aloud, just loud enough that Caelen might hear, "Would be nice to get the blood pumping in a productive way."

Caelen shook his head also and chuckled deeply, "So yer back ter actin' all big'n'bad lass? Weeell I can't say I'll try ter stop ye so long as ye keep in mind that I can repeat our lesson any time we're both a mind ter do so!" He wasn't threatening her, just reminding her of the tentative bonds that had been laid.
"Nothin' will happen right now lass, because I've too many morals ter let loose." ... and boy did he hate himself for them right now. She had offered herself to him, but it had been without thinking it over. If she were to bare his children this soon in the relationship she'd probably push him and his little ones off a cliff. Oi.
"A run, eh?" His own body was tense from restraint, it would indeed be nice to let himself go. "That sounds nice lass, although I wouldna say that what we were both doing some five minutes ago wasna productive." A wicked glint danced in his eyes for a moment, "Would ye care ter repeat it, eh?"

One of Azariel's ears ficked backward and she looked at him coolly, though if she wanted to admit it, she wouldn't mind if he did anything one more bit. As she wouldn't admit it, the cool look would suffice.
She snorted softly, appreciating his concern for her but debating whether or not to voice it. Children--especially with him--were far from her mind. She didn't mind children, they were kind of cute once she got used to them and she was still young enough that her childhood was fresh in her mind; it was just...the process required to have children, pregnancy and birth and all of that, was not something she would have wanted to go through ever no matter the other parent.
She looked at him oddly before turning away, unwilling to show the embarrassment she managed to acquire from his words. Stupid stallion and his stupid words. "A tempting offer," How had she managed to keep her voice fairly level? "...but didn't you just get finished saying you wouldn't do anything else?" She smiled innocently and took another step away from him, ready to run full out, maybe then she'd be too tired to get flustered when he talked.

As usual Caelen was having trouble holding back his desire to laugh. Honestly, the little mare was too much of a comedian even for him. Or maybe it was because he found her refusal all too amusing.
"Ahh lass that snort wasna a very happy one. Ye'll have ter know now that I'll be wantin' little babes ter be runnin' around." He eyes her thin frame, "I might just like that frame more if it was a bit plumper from out wee ones." Lord he hoped she wouldn't smash him up for that, "Not that I'm sayin' the family will happen or anytime soon, mind ye, but if anythin' were ter develop ye'd need know in advance."
"A wee tease, eh? Well if ye push me buttons on purpose lass and ye find yerself with little Caelen's running amock ye'd not be able to blast me with yer temper." He winked at her and grinned kindly, "I've a feelin' even if I manage to get ye beside me willingly we'll always have hoof ter hoof arguement."

Any amusement in her mind evaporated like a snowflake in a desert. What was this? Children? He wanted children? Her cheeks burned, she definitely did not want that to ever happen if it involved her being the one to do all of the work. That certainly hadn't been on her mind in the last few moments.
Ears flattened down, revealing her displease and discomfort over the whole idea, "Don't get ahead of yourself here, Caelen," She growled, tempted to lash out, not that it would do any good, "I can assure you, I won't be "plump from out wee ones" for quite a while, if ever." She was not going to promise anything anytime soon.
She snorted, a bit alarmed at how the conversation had suddenly turned, from cheerful and innocent flirting to talk of babies. She let out a groan and rolled her eyes, "Do you have any idea what would happen if there was more then one of you?" She shook her head, "And worse yet, half of me in them? They'd be the worst, most trouble-making children this land has ever known!"
This was just a distraction, the panic and anxiety in her was growing. Of anything, she had never expected to have children ever and to find that the stallion she had thought to have something more then just a friendship with wanted children, well, let's just say she was re-thinking her options.

Any thought of NOT laughing flew from Caelen's mind much quicker than her displeasure. Oh lord, he was going to bellow with laughter if she didn't quit her frowning at him. Now wasn't the time for him to laugh either, drat.
"Lass, I'm nae gettin' ahead of meself. Ye've not been 'round a good honest lad save fer your father I'm willin' ter wager. Ye need ter know what ter expect from me an if ye choose ter walk away from me then within the next few days will be the ideal time." He shook his head tiredly, "I've nae lied ter ye and if ye lie ter me in order ter play with fire I'll skin yer backside."
"And aye lass, our little ones would have the proper dose of spirit as opposed to the sallow-skinned pansies that seem ter enjoy walkin' around this land and callin' it their own." A green hoof dug frimly into the ground, "Now do ye plan ter run from me?"
He wanted to know now. If she ran away from him and the possiblity of children was in the air he would chase her for the next year. It would probably kill a part of him.

How kind of him to tell her what to expect if she decided to stick with him. It actually was pretty nice of him to do that, but she wasn't in the most charitable mood at the moment. "How kind of you," She hissed, eyeing him with a mixture of strained amusement and annoyance. She did not want children.
Oh, this was lovely, now, she'd have to decide to have children in order to stay with him? That wasn't a choice! And it wasn't fair at all! She couldn't change everything she had ever told herself in a few days or less! "You...you--!" She jerked her head away, panic made her eyes sting with tears.
"Making me choose between being with you and having children?" She stalked away from him, angry and just a bit hurt. "You don't understand me," She growled, turning to face him, "Try doing that before you say things that make me want to leave." She was freaking out, but she didn't care. He was threatening to leave her if she didn't agree and if she did she'd be a broodmare! She wanted to leave too, wanted to just walk away. This was too damn soon! Way too soon! They hardly knew each other at all, and he--he wanted to change her very thoughts?
