should'a kissed you good night

Eagerness seemed to seep from his very being; his face was a picturesque view of happiness and excitement. Perhaps it was a bit unusual for a creature to be so happy at the arrival of a friend, but he didn't care. His joy only seemed to fuel her own, and the chain reaction was something he wanted to continue. "Okay, that sounds good," he replied, thrilled at her eagerness to listen & learn. His own sister seemed a bit stubborn at times, like she knew more than him, but Kangi seemed rather open-minded and patient. She seemed to have learned a lot more about his language, too! He could tell with how quickly she spoke those first few sentences, compared to the confusion she'd seemed to have felt the first time they met and they struggled to communicate. "But I hope that doesn't keep you from coming again. I like seeing you," he admitted, grinning sheepishly.

He shivered as she nudged him, his already broad expression growing dramatically. Lightly the lanky boy moved a step closer, hobbling awkwardly to nudge her in return, but he ended up nervously touching her cheek instead of her shoulder as he intended. If it wasn't for his fur covering his skin, he would've surely blushed -- he felt heat rush to his face as he jerked his head away from her. She, in turn, admitted that she missed him. The nervousness subsided ever so slightly and he found himself grinning from ear to ear again.
"I missed you too," he admitted softly. How could I not miss a girl so pretty, he thought inwardly, though refused to voice his thoughts. He couldn't help it, but he found it hard to look away from her -- she was so slender and her markings were lovely, like nothing he'd ever seen before!

She proceeded to ask where he lived. For a moment he hesitated, wondering if his mom or siblings were in the den right now. It was a nice day, so they probably weren't. "I can show you!" He offered eagerly, turning a bit towards the center of the territory, tail wagging behind his undersized body. He hadn't really asked her much about it, but it seemed like she lived all on her own. It made him a little sad to think that nobody wanted to take care of her ... he didn't consider that maybe she did just fine on her own. Maybe he could take care of her! His mind whirled with possibilities as he took a few steps away from her.
