❛❛ I’m going to be frank, && say I have zero attraction to you. So this is a mistake. ❜❜
bitter soulmate prompts | @askdragonbladetalonnot accepting.
when he looks at the fateful string between them, he assumes them to be meant as a familial bond, something beyond blood and more akin to affinities. it’s ludicrous to some that anyone would take the red string to have platonic meanings, but when he looks at the young assassin, all he can think of is of the brotherly affection he feels towards him. so this thing, this word of folklore that speaks that they both should be lovers falls deaf to the ears of the might.
so deaf that when talon suggests attraction, he laughs and laughs heartily. it’s hard to rip such an honest sound of the might, but then again, talon has earned his place as his second brother in his mind -- as part of his tightly-knit pack. “and you think i care about that? you think that after defying fate for so long i’d listen to this?” he lifts the hand of the bond, where the string falls from. there’s no derision, nothing but playful chastising as he continues, other hand coming to the thick of the assassin’s mane, ruffling at it.
“i thought you’d know me better, boy.”
