Right where I belong

She blinked with surprise when he didn't really seem to register that she had hurt him. Actually, it looked like maybe he liked it - or at least that's what she assumed the tremor that went through him and the bristling of his fur meant. That at least relieved some of her guilt, but it confused her too. She did manage to return his grin, but her ears were still folded back with guilt. Even if he kind of enjoyed it for whatever reason and he barely felt it she had still hurt him and that made her feel bad. One of the first lessons she was taught by her parents was to not use her claws or antlers on any friends or family and she certainly hadn't meant to, but whatever that emotion and feeling that he was giving her was really overwhelming and short circuited her.

Briar watched him feel around on the back of his neck and then insist that he was fine and she sighed softly with relief as she gave him a bashful grin. He summed it up best when he teased her about losing control to his kisses. She chuckled as well as he booped his nose against hers, giving his nose a lick in response. "They are really good kisses," she agreed with a grin. Considering she was normally so put together and careful with her actions and behavior it really put her off guard to know that he could affect her like that, but it was really nothing new. He was the exception to the rule in so many parts of her life. At every turn he was bringing out new and different sides of herself and shaking off more and more of that "perfectness" that she had tried to have. She didn't think that was a bad thing though. He was making her better and she just felt herself getting more comfortable with him the longer they were together.

Despite all that, she didn't really want to risk getting overwhelmed again right away - especially since she didn't know what this hot, fiery feeling was that he kept bringing to life in her gut with every kiss. She gave him one more parting kiss before she gently slipped away from his embrace enough to get to her paws. She didn't go far though, still sticking close to him and finding her way to his side. "Come on, lets go get something to eat," she insisted with a nod toward the trap door that would lead them back down into the castle. She smirked a little and kissed his cheek, adding, "We can have some more kisses later when we're snuggling." She didn't want him to think she didn't want more kisses because she very much did, but perhaps after they cooled off a bit first.
