Amaranth's response is surprising, at least. That she's saying something, and not just staring. That she's smiling at him. That there's something in her gaze that isn't so... harsh. So cold. She's still austere, but there's something changed about it. Dimitri still finds her intimidating, but perhaps not as much as usual.
Still, with Valeska's shouts, he's pretty sure the entire rest of the pack knows at this point. And now she's asking something he didn't expect.
Wedding.
His ears flick back, his chest tightening. "I uh. We haven't planned a wedding." It's too soon, honestly. He's not ready to be married. "We haven't... even discussed it..." Hopefully that's not too much of a disappointment? "И я не думаю, что буду использовать слово «отец»... " But that's another matter entirely, and he's less concerned about that.
I'm doing very well I thank you
All this sympathy is starting to wear me down
I wish I was someone else
