Re: Ari + Jesse + Fen
Ari didn’t move. Let them sniff and huff and snort and decide. Then the big one, probably the Alpha, rested his head on their shoulder and they grinned. Acceptance! They hoped. Slowly, they reached and ran their fingers through his fur. Soft. He was warm too. They wanted to curl up with these wolves and cuddle. Maybe after running.
“Thank you,” they said softly, “I know. Stranger danger. But I’ve always been drawn to you guys. I promise I’ll let you tear out my throat before I harm you.” That was a bit graphic, wasn’t it? They meant it, however.

Jesse could feel his mate circling close by, watching. Perhaps it would be okay for him to come over. Fen's nuzzle and soft reassurance helped Jesse relax a bit. The wolf huffed at their graphic promise though it was good to know they understood what could happen if they betrayed his trust. Though he still felt the smallest twinge of unease around Ari, the gentle glide of their fingers through his thick fur was very pleasant. The Alpha found himself leaning more of his weight into Ari with a deep rumble. It was nice... So nice that he could easily see himself falling asleep on them like this.
