Anita gets into the Jeep, eyes on Animator's, Inc., and she lets out a long breath. The conversations with Damian and Demeter have been swirling around in her head for a couple of days now, and she knows they're both right. She pulls her cellphone out of her jacket and dials Richard's number. It's well past six in the evening, and she crosses her fingers that Richard didn't have a date tonight as the phone rings.

The important part of the house, kids, wife fantasy was Anita and the kids. And talking about it lead to it being an actual possibility.

"We'd need to figure a lot of things out, and you'd need to come to terms with everything," she says, not willing to sugar-coat anything. "But, yes, seriously. The only way for us to know if it can happen is if we talk, right?"

He smiles, softly, "And true." He leans in to steal a soft, chaste kiss.

She might not want the white picket fence and the 2.3 children and a dog in the yard, but she wants something. Anita wants something to show for everything, for how much she loves these men -- how much she loves Richard.
"You're doing very well," she compliments between kisses. "You even defended Nathaniel and Asher when I flew off the handle."
Color Anita impressed.

He chuckles softly into the kisses, "I did, didn't I." The only reasoning he has for the why is that Nathaniel is a good friend of his wolf, so he's caring by extension.

She smiles at him, her fingers stroking his cheek.
"I should take a lesson from you and Micah about being a leader. I'm still stumbling around."
no subject
He rests his forehead against her hair, "You just can't rule in the heat of anger."

From what he's seen, the only leopard to ever need punishing has been Elizabeth, and that's becoming less needed as well. He deals with it a little more because like she said, the pack is huge.

"I have issues with anger," she says with a half-smile.

She thinks it's more a joint effort, really, Asher picking up where Anita had refused to go.

"It's so strange how none of the shifters really spend any time with the others. Even with the Coalition, you're all separate."

"Our little group in Milliways seems to be very tight despite species differences."
no subject
"They also have the time outside of all the shit that hits the fan around here to be friends." Milliways seemed great for that.
no subject
"The shit does hit the fan often, doesn't it?"

He shifts a little closer and leans up just enough to catch her mouth with his. "We should find a way to make sure that doesn't happen as often."

A part of him is wondering if anyone has told Jean-Claude or Anita what Jason and Moon have told him. About the council coming. He's also not sure if now would be a good idea to spread that information or not. The weight of being unsure to tell her or not slides a little down the marks.
no subject
"What aren't you telling me?" she asks. "Hazard of the marks being open, I know you're hiding something from me. What?"
no subject
His hand squeezes hers when it reaches that far. "I've been told the council is coming. Jason's time, so we've got a little time, but he's only what a couple months ahead of us?"
