Odin noticed Aurora follow him, not far behind. On their walk, wings grew from his shoulders, in which his response was unamused when he looked back at the new wings on his back. His gaze also saw Aurora had stopped for a second, a small smile finding its way onto her maw, before she continued to walk. He turned his head back, seeing his den. When they arrived, he sat and asked about Aurora, his ears attentive. From a distance one may think he was blending into the snow with his base dark brown coat and white accents on his paws, belly, and even little specs on his face around his eye sockets.

"I am Lady Aurora, born and raised of the Arctic Borealis clan. There's not much to me I suppose - I was born and raised specifically to become a Queen. To be married off to an Ethereal Prince, Noctis. I was molded by my family for years, until the day of our wedding was to take place. He refused to marry me, only looking at me for a second even. He had chosen another, of a lower class even." His split blue and pink eye showed empathy as she expressed anger and sorrow in her eyebrows, his ears moving slightly back at those words. How was she ditched? His heart yearned for her to be treated right. He would be the one to do so, he'd make sure of it. "I wasted my whole life preparing to be the perfect woman, the perfect Queen, mate, mother. All to be rejected without so much as a second glance. I came here after, hoping to start a new and better life. What about you, Prince Odin. What's your story?"

Aurora’s magenta eyes met his own as she asked about him. He started off with an apology. ”Lady Aurora, I am sorry that that happened to you. Know that although I have claimed you, I will never leave your side.” He then sighed and looked to his side before speaking once again. ”As for me, well…to be honest…” He started, glancing to the side for a moment before looking back at Aurora. ”My father’s rules are the way they are for a reason…it’s his tendencies. However, the women do have the right to choose the victor if the wolf who claimed them is challenged.” He looked down to his front white stockings. ”He’s changed since my birth, now being with Soraya long term, but he has many children with many different females. I do not desire multiple such bonds. I only need one in my life.” He looked up to Aurora, smiling shyly despite his big frame and potentially intimidating appearance, probably partially due to his now missing eye. He probably should mention that too… ”As for my eye, well, I lost it in the recent war. The alphess of Hawthorne took it from me.” He laughed nervously before looking at the soul tie that connected the two of them. He knew what it was, but did she?

”Have you heard of these soul ties before?” He gestured to the faint pink line connecting their chests before attempting to meet her magenta eyes again. ”Frankly, the timing of it all ended being quite nice – as I said before, I really only want one partner. And I was waiting for my soulmate to come around.” The last of his words were spoken softly, and then he composed himself, waiting her response.
