Thane let out a heavy breath, his chest heaving slightly from the effort, as he dropped a whole elk leg right on the table in front of you.

A little before, he saved you from a fierce lion...He brought you to his home safely, hunted dinner for you...Isn’t that how you do the courtship to get a female to swoon ?

He plopped his massive frame beside you, the couch trembling slightly under his weight. He tilted his head, confused and curious. Why don't you eat ? He was trying to do the courtship right, like the others from the village told him, he was sure of it.

“You. Eat.” he said simply, his voice rough yet gentle, gesturing to the leg.
