Broken Timber Pines Under covers staying dry and warm

I'd say a good spot to wrap it up :)

Perplexity wasted no time settling upon his facial features in the wake of her sudden burst of laughter, russet ears sweeping backwards as the skin beneath his fur began to grow rapidly warm due to embarrassment. A very rare emotion for the proud Asurn wolf whom was indeed a power hungry individual. For a moment Eirian adverted his citrus gaze from the mercury toned one of Eek as a soft rumble sounded within the depths of his chest, taking note of the shift in weather. While the rain hadn't come to a complete stop it was more bearable than it had been minutes ago and Eirian had half a mind to leave in that moment and end this useless game of chess.

Beginning to lift from his resting spot it was the words that left her mouth that caused the copper male to halt in his tracks, already so close to being able to slip back into the outside world. A child? Once more a perplexed expression settled upon the man's face. Wasn't there enough children around here to fulfill such a desire? The dark coated woman had her choice between three separate children, but some how this was not enough for her? "There are children here why not choose one of them?" Shaking his head he cursed all women in his mind before allowing his gaze to settle upon her dark silhouette once more.

For a moment he remained silent before turning away to begin exiting the den, pausing just shy of leaving entirely. "If it's a pup you want then you'll have to bide your time until spring returns. Only then can I give you what you desire." And that was that. Leaving no room for discussion Eirian slipped free of her den and back into the rain, mind already churning with all the new information acquired. Eirian Asurn would have his paws full.

@Eirian would have caught her snort, a clear offering answer of "Those are not children, they're grown." his following statement met with a narrowing of her eyes. Silver eyes all but glazed over. Oh, but hadn't she tried that route before? Again, and again, and again - to no end. So consumed with the sudden wave of grief she didn't notice the male leaving the den, and by the time she came back around she had no desire to follow him. Eek merely snorted and stretched out her limbs, lowering her head to rest across her forelimbs so she could watch the rain continue to fall, the colours of the forest muted by the haze.

Her time would come, and like it or not, he would help her keep this one alive. It was all but assured now.
