It did not take long for his sunshine to show up after his call, as her words interrupted his pacing. ”You called, my love?” Achilles stopped, and a smile slowly crawled onto his face, his chocolate tipped crimson banner slowly starting to wag. ”Pandra…” His words were just barely above a whisper to himself. He found himself in awe of Pandora. How did he get so lucky? The soft smile that rose to her face made his heart beat faster. What was he so concerned about earlier anyways? He had his sunshine, his love, Pandora, here with him. Her next words were ones he did not expect but he was not necessarily saddened by them either. I’m sorry, I hope you’re not mad that I called the meeting…I was just scared, everything was quiet for so long and I got scared that you left. It was at this point that Achilles stepped up closer to her, attempting to softly nuzzle her as she spoke her last line. ”I’m sorry, I know it’s foolish of me to think that of you. I really missed you.”

Achilles stepped back enough to attempt to meet Pandora’s gaze. ”No no, it’s certainly not foolish. I missed tch’ya too m’love, if anything, I’m sorry if I appeared to vanish.” He paused before speaking once again. ”But m’love, why would tch’ya think that I’d be mad at you calling a meeting? Your fears are completely logical.” Achilles then stepped back a little further back, leaving now about a foot of space between their maws. He wanted to talk to her about the alpha ranking, and officially labeling themselves as a couple. ”I apologize if announcing tch’ya alphess ranking at the meeting was abrupt. I did not intend it to come off as such and did not mean t’scare tch'ya." He sighed and turned his head to the side as he composed himself. "When I say this, I mean it with all my heart."

Achilles took a deep breath, breaking eye contact for a split second as he closed his eyelids in thought and recollection before attempting to meet her gaze once more. In a moment of silence, Achilles gave a small bow and spoke, whilst keeping eye contact. ”Pandra, my sunshine, I desire for tchya to be my partner, my lover, my mate, whatever term you may prefer to define us. ‘erhaps, my queen?” He stood up from his bow, continuing to speak as he did so. ”Nonetheless, I would be more than honored to be able to call you mine.” Achilles pushed back the thoughts of pups with Pandora…he certainly did not want to make her feel rushed and/or obligated to anything. He awaited anxiously for her answer, despite being about ninety-nine percent sure about the answer she was going to give.
