Heh. She'd surprised him, again, with that little nip - it was always amusing when she managed to do that. Hell, half the time when she surprised him... well, it shouldn't really be a surprise. It was interesting, how in a way... he still didn't expect some of the things she did, even though she did them a lot. It was like... well, his mind was still wrapping around them. And to be honest, it still was for her too. That they could have turned from... the anger and intense dislike to... this. It was all very confusing to her, and she couldn't even begin to think where it all changed. Although, damn, she sure was glad he got over the fact that she too cared for some of his siblings.
Smiling at the thought, it only widened at the open invitation, and a shiver went down her spine. She took full advantage of it, too, burying her nose in his neck and delivering several more kisses and nips, all with a devious sparkle in her eyes from what she knew she was doing. She had absolutely no regrets, either, partially due to the past, and well... partially due to the fact that she craved like no other.
She pulled back as he spoke again, though, and she chuckled lightly. Not that sorry? She tilted her head to the side and gave him the look. You know, the one happily calling him out on his bullshit. The pure amusement in her eyes shifted to something more speculative as he rolled on his side a bit and asked a, well, rhetorical question. Her head remained tilted as she silently questioned him, eyes slightly narrowed in suspicion at the laughter in his eyes. Just what was he going to say?
When he said it, she froze. Not a sound, not even a whisper for a solid second before she burst out laughing. She had completely forgotten about that. But that was indeed one of their very first conversations, wasn't it? Funny how she had thought of what they used to think of each other, and here he was, mentioning it. And such a memorable thing, too. "No, it wasn't," she agreed, still laughing. "Remember after, though, at that yearling meeting? When I asked you what it meant and Sparrow's reaction when she heard me ask?" Lillianna chortled with amusement. Really, the look on Sparrow's face had been absolutely priceless.
The laughter finally faded, but the mirth did not. "Funny how things change, huh?" she asked rhetorically, smiling fondly at Lark. "But, I'm pretty happy they changed." She paused here briefly, grinning at Lark before nudging him briefly. "After all, had things not changed, I wouldn't exactly have the wolf I lo- c-care about, now would I?" The moment the words were out of her mouth she froze again, her eyes widening. Wait - what? Ah, shit. How she even recovered from that she had no idea - she wasn't entirely certain that true recovery was even possible. Instead, she forced herself to relax, though her eyes stayed wide as the oh shit just kept running on repeat.
