Something screams within him when the blonde had approached so suddenly, hands tensing at his sides, he's in the middle of raising them when the other strikes, like a cobra that had been coiled in warning, straight for his neck. A choked noise escapes the male as one hand grips at the other's long braid, gloved fingers digging in dangerously tight while his other hand scrapes down the other's breastplate. More choked noises escaping before he tilts his head back, teeth gritting against one another tightly as he releases a low growl.
