The thought of finding a deer definitely made his stomach rumble, though he wasn't entirely sure if his attention was more on Caelum or food at the moment. Hm. "Whatever you want, Cae," came his easy reply, her old nickname falling easily from his lips as he moved to press his nose to her flank, gentler this time than his previous nip. |
