Odin felt his heart soar when Aurora had taken to her side in the meeting. He introduced himself, it was expected for the prince of Tarben to do such. However, he felt as if something was off. Aurora had not spoken much since arriving – was she just on the quieter side? Surely the new surroundings frightened her, and potentially their laws too, however, she appeared at least to Odin to appear cool, calm, and collected. He awaited the meeting to come to a close, which when it did, he turned to Aurora and spoke. ”Follow me, we’ll head back to my den. I would like to get to know you more – where you’re from, what questions you may have about me, and then eventually I would like to lay with your beautiful grace.” He smiled, his one remaining eye, the one of split heterochromia, half rose pink and half ice blue, closing as he did and a toothy grin tracing itself onto his lips.

Regardless of her response, unless she chose not to follow, he’d begin to walk back to his den, looking back at her beauty occasionally. He felt his chest grow warm – was this the feeling that his father experienced with Soraya? Odin smiled again. As they walked, which was not far, Odin felt a weight grow onto his back with some pain. Nothing too strong though, rather to combat it, he shifted his shoulders as he walked. Aurora would see the whole transformation process as wings sprouted from his back, those of a great cormorant. When the pain had stopped, Odin would look back onto his back, his good, and only eye, widening at the wings. ”Well that came out of the blue…” He spoke at a volume more so as if he were muttering to himself, but Aurora would hear.

Soon enough they made it to his den, which was not far off from Beartooth’s and Soraya’s. He gently sat to face the pretty femme cloaked with the Aurora Borealis – she really was a sight to be adored. Odin only wished to be as close as he could to her as his chest warmed once again, his heart beat increasing. No. He had to be attentive, listen to anything the lass was about to say. ”I would love to hear about you, Aurora.” He spoke, smiling, attempting to meet her eyes. He was so infatuated that once he were to discover she also would lay with another, his heart would be shattered.
