As if she could feel his eyes on her, she glanced over at him, only holding his gaze for a moment before blushing and looking back to Ts'itu. She had known Seni for a very long time, and she was sure he felt deeply for her, but her friend's words held her for a moment. Could she return his affections? Would she love him as her mother and father loved each other? She knew that she loved Seni as a friend, but she had never even considered he wanted more, until now.<br/><br/>Even through her worry, she couldn't help but smile at Ts'itu, her threatening words striking something deep within Danae. As she looked at this woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions. This was her sister, her<em>sadae</em>, and the bond they had ran deep. It was something that she made sure never to take for granted, and she knew they would do anything for her. So when Ts'itu put a hand on Danae's cheek, and told her to listen to her heart, she gave a nod, her words worth more than gold.<br/><br/>Looking back over to Seni, she saw he was now talking to a younger pup, but his eyes seemed to always come back to Danae. Her heart, as if on cue, seemed to skip a beat and she let out a light laugh. "I think my heart has certainly spoken," she said, placing one of her hands over her chest. Her eyes went back to Ts'itu, and she chuckled a little. "I am usually the rational one," she said jokingly, though there was truth in her words. Ts'itu often came to Danae to seek her council and advice over many things, pack and personal. But now it seemed that her<em>sadae</em>was the one giving the advice, and this made her smile. She pulled in the girl for a long hug, squeezing Ts'itu tight. "You were not born my blood, but you<em>are</em>my blood sister and I love you," she whispered into her ear, holding back the tears that threatened to break free from her eyes. After a moment, she pulled away and gave her a warm smile. "Now, I think I have someone to talk to," she said with a somewhat shy smile.<br/><br/>After giving Ts'itu's hand another squeeze, she walked away, toward Seni and the young girl he was talking to. Her stride was one of determination, her body fierce in it's own way. She could feel her aura changing, the colors reflecting the already growing love in her heart. As she made her way to Seni, she could feel his aura, too, almost tangible in her hands. He was such a strong and powerful man, how could she deny him? She always had a hard time admitting her feelings, but this was one time where it was necessary.<br/><br/>Walking up to the pair, she felt bad interrupting, as she seemed to be doing a lot of it tonight, but she figured Seni would want to hear this. "I'm sorry, may I borrow this man for a moment?," she directed the question toward the girl, giving a respectful bow of the head as she took Seni's hand and walked with him a few steps away from the crowd. "I have thought a lot about your question Seni," she paused for a moment, taking both of his hands in hers, the heat from his body enough to make her head spin. "And I value our friendship very much, but I needed to listen to my heart." She looked over at Ts'itu, giving her a small smile before looking back up at Seni. "I hope you will have me as your mate, and that I can be the woman you see in me," she said the words genuinely, her eyes staring back into his. Yes, she could feel herself falling for him already, her instincts taking over her body, helping her ease into the role of a mate.
