little shadow's bed and breakfast

The soothing effects of the plant seeped through him as Oxide slowly sunk into the soft moss beneath him. Eris’s warm frame added to his relaxation and the scent of honeysuckle and lavender seemed to fill the air. Besides that of his drying blood. As the Ademre girl snuggled in closer she seemed to be disturbed by it as she shifted and told him that his wounds would need tending to again. He huffed heavily, but the plant had taken its toll. He could barely feel anything save the relaxing of his muscles and Eris’ soft touch. She made sure to note there was more of the plant to be consumed, and he had no doubt he would have to during the night.

He still felt himself tensing as she shifted, unsure how painful this round was going to be. The dark pelted girl was gentle though, and instead of being impossible to bear her motions soothed him further. He let himself lose the tension as he sighed back into the moss again. Heavy garnet gaze watched her in the miniscule amounts of light as she carefully groomed his matted fur. Her pink tongue moved easily over his rust colored fur, Ox found himself fighting the urge to return the intimate motions. ”Have you ever tasted a coconut?"

She murmured to him as she finished all too soon in Oxide’s mind. Though she pressed himself against him again, and gingerly placed her head near his chest. He sighed heavily in contentment. He closed his deep ruby gaze and fell into the sedative effects. He chuckled softly before he answered her. ”Ha, no. I have not.” Mostly because they were impossible to get into. He wasn’t really one to experiment with the omnivore diet either. He didn’t like the lettuce he had been fed and berries were pretty far down his list of items he’d eat before starving.

Unconsciously his leg had shifted, extending a bit to wrap around Eris’s shoulders to hold her tighter to his side. He wasn’t sure that he had ever been this content before in his life. ”I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy,” he offered in whispered tones. He’d always had to work so hard for any kind of affection, but Eris gave it so freely. It was sad really, that it took him almost bleeding out to get to such a point. The words would have never left his rusted lips had he not been so heavily drugged, but he was unable to keep the thought to himself.
