"Marrying me isn't just marrying a normal woman or even a noble . You are marrying a bloodline as old as the shadows are deep . You will be entering a magical bond between your soul and my own . " Kyera tried to explain carefully . It would be easy to trap him and tell him after it was too late . That would be best for her people but she couldn't do it .
"I see . What will it entail?" Clovis asked his voice careful but he seemed to be thinking this through practically .
"There would be no divorce . You could never break this bond even if I die, it will be on you . You will be held to the law of the forest till the day the Gods and Goddesses free us from those rules . " Kyera explained watching his expression . He seemed to be considering her words and weighing his responses .

"If I remember correctly Raina plays a song called the Forest Law?" he asked remembering the tune and the words well . Kyera smiled her expression brightening as she remembered teaching the child the song while her grandmother was ill .
"Yes . In all honesty it's a song all our cubs, kits, and little ones learn so they follow the laws from a early age . " Kyera explained honestly glad she wouldn't have to explain the laws in detail . If he knew the song that was enough .
"Then if that be the case I see no reason I could not follow them . As far as divorce… I am not in this just because I must marry . " he pointed out setting the cup down .
"Oh?" Kyera asked watching him keenly, like a predator watching movement to see if it could be a meal moving past . "Then may I ask why you want to marry me?" Kyera replied honestly curious . Clovis smiled sitting up and leaning closer to her over the small table . His eyes suddenly as deep as the Never Ending Pool at the heart of the forest . A soft smile on his lips as he captured her eyes holding them in place by will alone .
"Lady Kyera Moon, do you truly need to ask?" he whispered his face close enough to hers she could feel his breath leaving soft tingles over her skin . Suddenly she felt as though he was the powerful predator and she was a rabbit in his noose . Her heart quicked and he leaned closer . Her hesitation to respond giving him the prompting he needed . "Then let me show you . " he added and she was lost .
The soft warm skin of his lips met hers, and she melted into the kiss . His hand supporting her head and her body leaning closer to him . One hand on her slender waist, the other in her hair as his tongue slipped into her mouth . Gently he coaxed her to kiss him back and accept the loving passion he was offering her . Then, as she began to grow dizzy with the need for air, he released her .
"Ky I care about you, I want you at my side as much as your body needed air after that kiss . You make me feel dizzy and yes stable and complete . " he whispered hand on her cheek, and gazing deep into her eyes . "We will take care of your people and I will protect you whatever foe may come . "
Kyera took a deep breath, letting his words sink in, her cheek resting in his hand . She tilted slightly and kissed his palm feeling safe and warm with him . "Alright . I trust you Clovis . Announce our engagement . I… I will tell my people . "
Clovis shook his head slowly his hand moving down her neck, over her shoulder, and to her hand . "No . We will tell our people . Together . It is high time I meet the shifters who make up part of my people . Please allow me to come with you . " Clovis replied and Kyera couldn't help but chuckle .
"My dear husband to be, you aren't going anywhere dressed like that . " she teased chuckling rather brightly . Her hands reaching out to grasp the ties of his robe and flicking them to make her point . He laughed, shocked at how good that sounded .
"Alright . My Lady Wife to be . I will change if, my wife to be agrees to call me hers from now on . " he teased as he stood from the table . Kyera smirked .
"You think after marrying a tigress you have another choice?"
