 {{wst>shyriath|Aveshinoth's antennae twitch higher in surprise. Why is he backing away? "There's no point!" she barks, exasperated. "What would it look like if I asked her before you had agreed to it? What kind of a plan for the future would it be?" She stalks forward after him, bristling with nervous energy, but tries to bring her voice back under control. "I understand that this is a sudden and important matter," she adds. "But I don't have the luxury of choosing my own timing. My future, and my status, are at stake here as well."}}

 No. Stop and think. Why is he so terrified of this? Surprised, that's understandable -- he'd had no reason to expect this to happen, and a part of him is still reeling from the sheer surreality of the situation.

And she's certainly not unattractive, quite the opposite, just... he doesn't know her. At all, except by reputation.

 "Then what's this about 'commitment'?" Aveshinoth snarls, the tip of her muzzle within a few inches of his. "Would marriage be any more of a 'commitment' than spending the rest of your life in here, keeping the temperature down? You really expect me to think that that kind of life might be preferable to a life in my household?"}}
-{{wst>reh|He can't take this any more. Not in his current emotional state; not with her breathing down his neck. He needs to get out of here,maybe fly back home or something. Ask someone for advice... one of his fathers maybe. (He can already guess what his mother's advice would be.) He'd make a fool of himself, but on the other hand, he's already made a fool of himself in front of the Matriarch's daughter, and he can't really imagine fleeing would make her opinion of him much lower than it currently is. "I have to go," is all he manages to whisper, before placing a forepaw on Aveshinoth's left arm to push her aside--

 In that instant, an arc of light sparks through that paw, sending a lance of white-hot pain through the limb, causing her muscles to spasm involuntarily and leaving behind a nasty burn.}}
