Secret Woodlands Fallen.

It brought her great comfort to be close to Hollow, but that comfort was soon turned into dread when such words passed off of his lips. Forcing her body to remain calm, she purposefully looked into another direction, her mind taking a wandering path. Are you a healer, Miss Nina? Koda had once asked her, and Nina had happily answered before promptly losing her voice and asking the gentleman to fetch her honey, of which she had done for her. Then she had tentatively attended to his bee stings. Trying to shake herself off out of her daze, she slowly began to eat her meal, pleased to see that Hollow had finally decided to join her. Eating in a companionable silence, Nina looked up towards him in shock when he spoke it, her ears flicking forward in concern as to what he would have to say to her.

His question caught her off guard and she uncomfortably shifted her weight slightly, her emerald eye piercing into his off set eyes. Taking an unsteady breath, she spoke, ”I don't know what we are going to do in the spring.” In honesty, Nina had been worried about what would happen in the spring, but that wasn't all that was wrong, but thank goodness she was good at concealing her secrets, because truthfully Hollow knew nothing about her. Not how she had acquired her scars, nor of her past, or family and how things had changed ever since her brother had arrived. She had once been a fully capable wolf before he had come and then her world had been shattered. Now she was finally starting to regain her life back, this time without the help of Koda.

Hollow shuddered at her words. What about spring time? What would Nina do, what would he do? He found his gaze drifting over to her again, where it stayed and he was propelled almost involuntarily to her. His mouth dried when he brought himself around to meet her eye. He looked as though he was going to break right then his heart was pounding, his lungs were ready to burst because he wasn't breathing. He was staring right at her before at last his resolve to find something platonic snapped. Hollow found that he had become far closer to Nina than he had ever intended to. Feelings began to take root in his heart for the she wolf, he his world moved in slow motion. Hollow Nite finally admitted to himself that he wanted Nina Hervok.

He tried so hard to deny but could not. Hollow was moving towards her, and if she would allow it he drew his muzzle past hers just brushing it, and along the scared side of her face before whispering in her ear, "We'll figure it out." His blood was on fire and his senses supercharged as he waited for her response, his eyes closed now, wondering if he would feel her pull away or her teeth. Whichever he felt would be appropriate, considering she had literally just changed her title. Hollow had no right to her, besides that of being the alpha male. Still he held himself where he was and waited for Nina's next move.
