welcome home

She couldn't remember a single time seeing Iroh quite as jubilant as he was now and it just made him even more adorable in her eyes. She followed him through Aerie's territory with an equal amount of excitement, trying to pay attention to all of the places and sights that he showed her during the brief tour around the lands instead of just letting all of her attention get taken by him. She was still a bit nervous about this new, huge change in her life and perhaps even slightly overwhelmed by the whirlwind that was the last couple of days, but excitement and happiness drowned most of that out. This was what she wanted and where she was meant to be, she could tell.

Following Iroh down into the ravine, she tried to pay particular attention to the path they took to get here so that she could easily find her way back again. The last thing she wanted was to get lost just trying to get back home and end up accidentally finding someone else's den instead. She enjoyed how secluded the cavern was and how warm and inviting it felt. In a way she couldn't really explain, it felt like she was coming home to a place that she had always lived. The smell of the fire made her smile as it brought her memories back to the other times they had spent together and how that had been a common theme for them as they got to know each other.

Her bright blue eyes took in the interior of the cavern as Iroh pulled back the fur hanging over the entrance and she grinned, her tail wagging gently behind her. "It's good to be home," she replied softly as well, looking toward him as she stepped over the threshold. She paused in front of him, her grin widening to match his with a giggle. "I love you, you handsome man," she added before giving him a quick kiss and continuing on into the den. She settled onto the fur by the fire with a contented sigh, stretching out comfortably and looking back at Iroh with an expectant glance for him to come join her.
