Captivate me

Xephyris was delighted to see her smile as he attempted to speak with her. He wasn't sure how effective he was being in either communicating with her or impressing her, but he was having fun all the same, and she did seem interested in him, too. Could things actually be going his way? He'd waited so long to find someone just right, and it was like she'd appeared just for him. He wanted to keep her, but he'd have to wonder about how to do that later. He was too busy staring at her gorgeous frame to think.

He grinned, mostly to himself, as he saw the curious but wary look painted on her face as she watched him as he pranced around with the water lily in his jaws. He could almost feel the tension radiating off of her stiff neck and shoulders - it was good to see that she was well aware of her surroundings, and not instantly trusting. She had a good head atop those well sculpted shoulders. At his gentle touch, he felt her tension melt away, allowing him to place the flower as he desired. Pleased with the placement of the lily atop her crown, he took a small step back to admire her again, seeing her smile at him.

The way she smiled... it gave him a thrill, knowing from just her expression that she was finding this interaction as enjoyable as he was. Then she spoke. Oh, he'd die just to know what she was saying. The language barrier was frustrating, but it didn't make him want to run away. He could only imagine that she was commenting on the flower. "C'est beau." she said. Was that her word for beautiful? It seemed similar, it must be so. "Soleil... est beau," he murmured with a deep rasp, looking to her captivating turquoise eyes. He'd reach forward to touch her cheek again, wanting to feel her soft fur against his nose, hoping she'd not bite him. He pulled back again, an obvious glimmer of infatuation in his silver eyes - his whole expression had taken on a somewhat dopey look, with eyelids drooping slightly and ears flattening out the sides.
