Annual Checkup

He would have had to be blind to miss the way Lillith blushed and became more nervous at the prospect of doing a full physical exam on him. He might have felt bad, if making her blush hadn't been his objective all along. It was just too much fun to tease the sweet, innocent girl and see her face go hot! Besides, pink cheeks looked so lovely against alabaster and silver fur. Lillith stated she'd prefer the infirmary, so at her direction, he got to his paws and followed her back into the castle. The two walked the quiet hall close together until they arrived at the medical ward. It was also quiet and empty there as well; Gwynevere was probably out gathering herbs from the greenhouse or stowing supplies in the pharmacy. That was fine, it just meant more privacy for the two of them to allow Lillith to focus on her work.

The smaller silvery fae directed him to stand before her and so he did, easily standing a foot above her, so he craned his neck down just enough for her to reach him without needing to stretch or stand on her tiptoes. "Physically or emotionally?" he quipped back, giving her a cheeky grin. Yes, he was a jokester, and yes he was terrible and he knew it. "I feel fine. My shoulder still aches if I stretch or move it too much. And my grandfather always said my head was too hollow, but I don't think medicine can fix that." He snickered to himself while Lillith's delicate paws moved about his face, checking his wet black nose, holding his eyelids to inspect his steel-toned eyes, looking over his ears that he had to reeeeeeally try to sit still for and not squirm when her paws touched them. His ears were pretty sensitive.

Roman lifted his head to give her free access to his throat, a true show of trust to give her unrestricted freedom of his most vital area. As her paws moved down to his chest, over his lungs and his heart, Romulus took several long, deep breaths to allow her to feel the expansion and retraction of his lungs. His heart hammered strong and robust beneath her paws. He didn't say anything for a while, letting the silence take them in case she was keeping a mental count of his heartbeats. As the time ticked on though, he gave her a sly smirk and chuckled beneath his breath. "Noticing something with my heart?" he asked, knowing full well there was nothing wrong and that Lil was just getting lost in him, but he couldn't bring himself to stop her. She was just too damn adorable, and he liked making her happy.
