Unfortunately his apology was tossed aside when he managed to land himself in more trouble with the female by accidentally insulting her. He hadn’t meant to, it had all happened so fast. It wasn’t normally like the agouti male to talk before thinking, but it seemed that this time was the exception. Immediately he begged for her forgiveness, promised her that he had not meant what he had said, but she was having none of it. Instead she sought revenge and swiftly put a dagger to his heart with the mention of piety. He had wanted to leave then, slip away in to the dark forests that surrounded that borders of Hearthwood to brood, but he had bit back his pride and tried one final time to explain himself and apologise for his comment.
Pale paws crossed over to leave, accepting the silence that surrounded them was likely to be the only thing passing between him and Inna for now. She wasn’t going to forgive him, not just yet anyway, and Lorcan had to deal with that. As he quietly moved away back in the direction that he had originally come from, he made it as far as the fourth tree along before a voice stopped him in his tracks and caused him to glance back around. His ears flattened at her apology, feeling the ache in his heart once more before she moved in quickly to brush her muzzle against his cheek. A whine finally whistled past his lips at her words and he leant down to tip her chin back up with his nose. Golden eyes searched for her gaze of deep orange, a frown creasing his forehead.
“I just…I want you and the pups to have what you deserve. I know you’ve said before that things aren’t great between you and your family, and I know what we did went against pack law, but you are still Inna Baranski and a valued member of this pack. I think that you forget that sometimes…” He held her gaze a paused a moment as he allowed his words to sink in. “I also think that you forget that I left @Piety along with Whitestone to come here, to Hearthwood, to you. Being there for you and the pups is more important to me than anything or anyone.” He whispered, before finally moving to plant a firm lick across her crown.
