Puppy Love

"Shut up," she teased gently when he brought up her brother, leaning down to nuzzle the side of his cheek gently. She certainly knew they had a lot to talk about, perhaps regarding her brother, and her lack of action in protecting him -- she realized now she had been dangerously passive, and should've spoken up on his behalf. But both of them seemed more than willing to ignore the more important things, and instead focus on enjoying each other's company. As long as Maverick was in the same mindset, she would be more than content to be as irresponsible as he was. At least for now, until they had to discuss their plans for the future, when they would meet next and if they would continue in slight secrecy, or whether she would need to talk to her brother...

Her attention was arrested from all of these thoughts as the boy beneath her cracked a joke that seemed to make her face grow hot and a shiver run down her spine. Though she was as confident as a creature could be at such an age about most things... well, she, too, was quite ignorant about love and relationships and everything else, but she wouldn't deny that Maverick made her want to learn. Not with just anyone, but certainly him in particular. Teasingly she bent closer to nip at his ear, her teeth firm but gentle. "I know there's a few ways we could make it happen," she repeated with a gentle laugh, her voice low in his ear, a mere whisper. "But that doesn't mean it will. Maybe, only if you're lucky." The girl was merely teasing, feeling comfortable enough to return his direct flirtation with some of her own.

The girl's own expression was one of slight mischievousness as she pulled back to gaze at him, tail wagging quickly behind her. But the motion would waver slightly as they began to discuss more important things. As much as the girl truly wanted to hover over him forever, she was growing slightly tired -- it'd been quite a trek here, after all -- and she shifted off of him, after planting a simple kiss on Maverick's lips. She went to rest on her belly beside him, unwilling to break the eye contact between them.

"I know she'll be okay with you," she said, very surely, though her expression became slightly more serious. "I do think she'll want me to tell father about you, if I'm planning on seeing you more, but... I don't think she would stop us from seeing eachother. She'd want me to be happy."
