[IC] A Whole New World

[KatherinWinter]

"There is nothing you can do. I will just have to keep my distance. As long as I don't touch you too much it doesn't hurt too much." Zack explained it was hard not to touch her. Especially now that she had given him permission to touch her more. He didn't want to hurt her by claiming her before she was ready.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita frowned a little and nodded still a little upset by it and tried to think of a way to help him regardless of what he said and shook her head a moment "Well let's at least try to work on stuff for tomorrow ok?" she said softly sounding a little upset by it all still but also gave him a few tips and went through everything with him, although it did take some time.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack tried to focus on the information she gave him. But it was hard. His body kept pulling towards her's. He knew he was going to have to keep as much distance between them. This was one battle that he couldn't afford to lose. He was less worried about the meet now that he was worried about losing control of himself.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita watched him a moment "Shall I let you go over it by yourself, I need to go look after Wisp" she said to him thinking ti would be easier for him if she wasn't there and kissed him quickly on the cheek before she left him be for the time being. She headed over to the stables and took care of Wisp and sighed kissing the foals muzzle before playing with her and also introducing her to some of the tack she'd be wearing in a few months time.

(Stuff to do now so see ya later)

[KatherinWinter]

Zack was relieved when Keita left for alittle while. Without her there to tempt him it was easier to focus on the information. He reviewed everything again. It was easier to remember and understand with his mind clear. Once he felt had a good understanding of the information he went to work on his sculpture.

[Soul Hunter]

Returning later on in the afternoon she looked to him "How are you?" she asked him stretching a little "You able to focus better while I was gone?" she asked him smiling a little and made him a snack before handing it to him and sitting down to eat her own as she worked on a few sketches.

[KatherinWinter]

"Yes. It was much easier to focus with you gone. I think I have a good understanding of the information." Zack told her. He smiled as accepted the snack from her. "How is Wisps? Is she adjusting well?"

[Soul Hunter]

She smiled and nodded "Yeah she's adjusting quite well now, seems to have settled in easily enough and has made friends with another foal in the stables thats a few months older than her which is good" she smiled "and that's good to hear" she said softly to him before she went to eat her own and then got to work on something else instead.

[KatherinWinter]

Once Zack finished his snack he decided to work on his sculpture. He had a hard time because his hands shook making it difficult for him to get the knife to do what he wanted it to do. But he was glad to have something to focus on. He needed to keep his hands and mind busy. He wanted to give her the time she needed to reach the point where she was ready for him to claim her.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita gave him the distance he needed between them both while she tried to think of a way to help him as she tried to calm down. She still shared meals with him and spent some time with him but still tried to figure out a way to help.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack missed her. He would often stop what he was doing so that he could stare at her. He would find himself reaching for her throughout the day. He never thought not touching someone would be so hard.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita went over later on and spook to him a little "There really no other way to stop you being like this" she asked him and kissed his cheek gently.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack backed away from her. While he like he kiss it only made him hurt more. He shook his head sadly. "As far as I know the only thing that will make the pain stop is claiming you. It's ok, Keita. I can handle. As long as I keep my hand and mind busy it doesn't hurt too much."

[Soul Hunter]

"You sure" she said to him softly and refrained from touching him since it only made him hurt making her feel rather upset that she was hurting someone she loved. "I really wish there was another way but thank you for giving em some time" she said softly.

[KatherinWinter]

"I understand that you're ways are different then mine. I will try to think of some way to make this easier on us both." Zack started to reach for her before he caught himself. "Good night."

[Soul Hunter]

Keita looked to him as he was about to touch her and frowned before pulling him in for a kiss and hug "Night, I at least want my goodnight kisses from you if possible" she said to him embarrassed. "It's weird not getting hugs and kisses from you during the day now"

[KatherinWinter]

Zack groaned as she hugged him. He closed his eyes and fought against the urges that nearly drowned him. He brushed his lips across hers before pulling away. He leaned against the wall pain etched into his face. "It's hard to not touch you. I have gotten use to steal small caresses. Sleep well love."

[Soul Hunter]

Keita frowned and looked to him before shaking it off "Sleep well Zack" she said softly and headed to her own room stripping down before changing into her slewing clothes and then headed to bed beginning to think over the problem and really was trying to figure out something to help but couldn't come up with anything before she fell asleep.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack stood in the hall trying to gain control of himself and his desires. It took a few minutes before he was in control enough that he could move. He made his way to the bed. He got comfortable and tried to sleep. His dreams were filled the claiming ceremony. He knew it would be awhile before she was ready to consider taking that step. He still had to explain to her how the ceremony worked.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita slept well that night and the next morning she woke up quite late and headed to the bathroom quite tired before having a quick shower and then heading downstairs while she dried her hair "Zack you up?" she asked looking around a little to see if he was up yet.
