Norryk studied her, letting a moment of silence pass. "I do not expect a yes or no.. but I would like to.. ask something of you." he murmured nuzzling her. "Would the lady be willing to mate with this man?"
He didn't look away, instead he looked into her eyes, inclining his head ever so slightly in a formal fashion.

At his question, she stopped and stared. She didn't mean to, she just couldn't help it. Her eyes widened and she stared up at him. "Mate?" That had never been an idea she had thought of. The Messenger had thought she'd always be alone, she was grateful even for the few months she had spent with Norryk.

Norryk inclined his head long black hair falling across one eye. "Aye. Mates. If.. the lady would like, this man would like to make an honest women of her." He said softly.
He both knew of her preference for the ways of the old, and inwardly he'd have preferred to be with her. Norryk might not have been the exact emulation of the old world, but he was not some punk kid most certainly not.

She nosed his hair from his face, a bewildered look on hers. Sitting back, she looked up at him and after a moment of clear, painful deliberation on her face, asked, "Norryk.. Are you sure that you want to spend the rest of your life with me? I don't want you to feel like you are.. obligated." She was starting to ramble. "I mean, I'm sure that you can find someone far more suited to you than I, someone who will make you happy.."

Norryk stopped her by moving closer and sitting down, nuzzling at her neck. "Ravyn." he said looking at her.
"I am happy with you. I feel no sense of obligation, I merely wish to make this right for us both, and..." he said his voice softening as he nosed at her side lightly. "For all involved." He murmured smiling ever so slightly.
"Please do not think so little of yourself, I want to spend as much time as I can with you." The devil shifted slightly so he could rest his chin across her shoulders in a comforting gesture.

The spotted female felt her eyes start to water. She had dreamed of these things long before she became the Messenger, a mate, a family, love.. Once she had accepted her duties, she had thought all these things impossible. People feared her, they didn't love her. The tears started to flow freely and she turned to press her face to Norryk's side. "Norryk, that.. that just.." She was at a loss for words. The Messenger did not know what to say.

Once upon a time he'd had an illusion of happiness. Before she'd been killed at least. After wards he'd pledged he'd never love again. The striped male had given up really was more like it. When he'd met Ravyn.. his cold heart had started to work again.
As the days became weeks, and weeks months he realized he wanted more then anything to be with this woman. Not to the point of obsession no, he was just...finally happy. Happy in a way he had never reached, then now, or the in between. He was grateful for Ravyn being in his life.
"I did not mean to make you tear up." he murmured softly smiling as he essentially sheltered her against himself keeping her close.

She snuggled against him, her tears staining both his and her fur. She sat there for a while, letting the tears cease to fall before she lifted her face to look at him. Her dark gray eyes stared into his for a long moment before she moved to nose his cheek.
"These are, dare I say, happy tears, Norryk," she murmured, smiling up at him. "You cannot imagine how happy this has made me. Of course I will be your mate!" Over the course of the time they had been together, she would often wish that this would happen. Then she would tell herself not to be such a foolish bloody idiot and forget about it. But he had asked her to be his mate. Things had changed. "Norryk, I.. I love you."

Norryk did not hesitate. "I love you too Ravyn." And the devil did. He gently licked her cheek to dry her tears. "As well.. I am most glad you are happy." He said quietly, red eyes holding a certain level of light hearted-ness. "And I admit...I am most pleased." He half murred half settled for scanning the distance. "Let us go to our cave, preferably so we are not out in the open."
And onwards did they walk. He would occasionally stop just so he could admire her, or to speak. Once they reached the cave he naturally checked if it was safe. Once inside he settled down and peered up at her that gentle smile of his on his face.

Every time he stopped and looked at her, she felt her face warm. She was not used to others looking at her that way, but she enjoyed his attention. Her long tail swaying she walked beside him to the cave, waiting as he checked inside as he always did. Once he had determined it was clear of intruders, she followed him inside, curling up close beside him. With a nuzzle to his cheek, she gave him a small lick and set her chin on his back as he often did for her. Her normally tortured soul was soaring right now. She wasn't alone anymore. She had Norryk, and soon they would have children. While she had doubts nagging at her regarding that, right here, right now, they didn't matter. She'd deal with them later.

His fears were a different sort. He feared he would lose his fledgling family. The very thought of harm befalling Ravyn and their unborn children. It was enough to chill him to the born really. Despite this, he vowed he would do all in his power to keep them all safe. Sighing he closed his eyes. She knew well enough he trusted her, he would have flipped out if anyone else had been touching his neck. It was not something he usually associated with a pleasant thing .... yet again she amazed him. He could relax even despite his initial fear.
Sighing softly he rests his head on her leg, eyes closing. "Would it be too much if I admitted you are my angel?" He lifted his head a curious look in his red eyes. "If this bothers you, I will refrain from saying so." He nuzzled her cheek regardless.

She nuzzled her face into his neck, sighing happily. She had been about ready to doze off when he spoke to her. Opening her eyes, she lifted her head to turn to look at him. Her eyes widened slightly at the question, but a slow smile made it's way across her face. "You may... but only if you agree that you are also my angel. Even if the physical evidence points to otherwise." She laughed softly, nosing at him. It was the truth. Even if in all reality he was a devil, Norryk had saved her from the despair that had been overwhelming her. He didn't need a halo to be considered an angel to her for that.

Her comment made him flush, he was no angel.. yet he understood her meaning this was why he flushed so to speak. Smiling softly he sighed and nuzzled her neck. "Aye, if you would choose to call me as such." His long tail curled around her as if adding for extra security.
The larger male stood up after a moment stretching his front limbs, only to settle back down, smoothing her fur. "You are truly...amazing Ravyn." he said softly smiling at her.

"I would," she said resolutely, nuzzling at him. She had meant it.
Once he had settled back down, she entwined his tail with hers, looking up at him. His words made her flush. "No.. I am not, Norryk."

The other shook his head. No he was certain she was. "Ah, but has the lady looked at herself? She truly is you see." He smiled and held her tail with his all the same. He nosed at her hair moving it from her eye. "When we are again at the lake, I will have you look." he murmured licking her cheek.
