Honestly, what was he going to say? They had already bid their farewell to each other for the night not long since and here she was making her way back to his home with no idea what she would say to him when she got there. Was she sweating? She was a great pile of nerves and she couldn't understand why she was feeling this way. She could only bring herself to silently curse her mothers quizzical presumptions about their relationship being more than just a friendship. She had brainwashed her in to feeling this way... Yes, that had to be the reason behind this wild escapade. Only deep down, she knew that wasn't the case.
Every couple of steps she would pause, rethink her decision and continue to try and talk herself out of it, that there was still time to make the journey home albeit more dangerous as the night deepened but each time she found herself continuing onward again, drawing closer to the fantastically woven archway of fallen tree's and the glittering pool adorned with waterlilies and glow bugs and beside the waters edge - A picture of Corvus entered her mind, the only time since parting with him that her features finally relaxed and warmed once again.
A rustle sounded beside her, she squeaked at the noise as it broke her from her thoughts and stumbled off to the side while eyeing the shrubbery beside her. Her nostrils flared with rapid breaths as she prepared herself for what might appear from within them, thinking that it might finally be time to have to put all that gladiatorial training to use.
"Crow..?" Luana pleaded with a hopeful whisper. She may have trained with Dae to defend herself if necessarry since foalhood but it was one thing to spar with your family, while harsh and unrelenting she knew in the back of her mind that he would never truly intend to hurt her, and another thing entirely to face a foe that wouldn't care to spare a thought for what damage they might do to an unsuspecting mare wandering alone in the dead of night.
She was starting to wish she had allowed Crow to escort her home... At least he would still be with her if she had.

Corvus looked at her, shaking his head after a moment. "It does not matter, I'll be fine, but I won't tarnish you and jeopardize you finding happiness." Frowning softly as his heart skips again, her not able to see the surprised confusion in his eyes at her question and the suggestion he share his bed with her. "Don't worry about me my little bug, a cold night won't end me. I would rather you remain above reproach and able to hold your head up high."
He lowered his head finding it hard to look at her and stick to the proper behavior, though her concern for him set butterflies loose in his stomach. Closing his eyes making himself stick to his guns, it was the best thing for her, he had to do what was best for her.
"Please little bug, I would face many things for you, but your parents are something that my courage falters before."

Corvus lifted his head, his eyes opening, surprise for once clear on his face, his eyes seeking her's. MINE! The gruff voice in the back of his mind declared again. He couldn't ignore it any more. She had told him she loved him, she was his. The Kalona part of himself roared in victory. He was trying to ignore it, he had not taken her as mate yet, and he would not rush his little bug.
He leaned in, his nose lightly brushing her nose. "I am not a soft bed companion My little bug, I have scales and spikes.... But if you are sure..... We can work out for you to be comfortable." A blush showed faintly on his pale cheeks in the dim light, he had just agreed to sleep with her, though with Corvus it was in the purely platonic sense most likely. His nose leaving hers and brushing her cheek, a chaste kiss on her cheek and he was all flustered. Shifting, not sure what to do with himself, his heart was beating fast and his stomach was doing little flips.

Corvus might as well have been a moth to her flame. She was so much smaller than him but he followed her obediently. He had never been one to follow blindly, but they were retiring for the night, their first night.... Corvus stopped, his expression intent as he looked at her, his blank eyes lifting to hers as she turned to him. "Little bug..." Stumbling over his words a little, his voice thick with feeling as she had ever heard it. "You are the moon in my sky and I will be here to worship you until life leaves my body. And on that day hopefully many seasons from now I shall wait for you on the great plain beyond until you join me there for eternity."
He was making a fool of himself, he was sure of it, the only thing keeping him from asking her to be his mate was that he was sure it was all too much for one night. But even if they only slept, he could not let her stay the night without knowing how he felt. No matter what, he was hers, and he was a possessive male. He would need to work on his faults to deserve her. But he was also a patient male, so in the end when his body became grass and his soul ran free he would wait for her. He leaned in and curled his neck a little around her, lingering over the embrace. He enjoyed the feel of her close but knew they needed to get into shelter and rest. Drawing back slowly, his cheeks a bit red, embarrassed and shy about his declaration.
