I like long walks on the beach

Waking up to Roman’s smile was everything she wanted, his sweet features greeting him as she emerged from her dreams couldn’t be rivaled. Except perhaps if he was just as snuggled into the bed as she was, but that scenario was definitely getting ahead of herself. They were best friends, Romulus was afforded a lot of exceptions in her world. Including this natural comfort in his presence. Little touches with her paws and the close proximity was becoming commonplace. Roman greeted her again, offering a good morning as he roused her from slumber and offered his hope for sweet dreams. Lilith didn’t really remember them so they must have been good. Far better than the nightmare she had the first night he was in the Hallows.

Touching Roman with dainty little paws was not so difficult, maybe she would have struggled with a real hug or anything closer. This seemed near perfect though, she could feel the beating of his heart beneath her toes and the feeling rushed through her limbs and echoed in her own chest. Without relinquishing her touch Roman shifted so he could offer her a nibble of breakfast in bed with an unabashed bump of their noses.

Lilith blushed lightly and giggled softly at the affection and she tried to focus on the small meal he brought for her. She smiled shyly, her garnet gaze shifting from her nibble to Roman’s silvery gaze as he laid out their plans for the day. As his outlandish expectations grew more unbelievable her jaw opened in surprise, as she was trying to decide if he was serious, but the way his grin climbed up the corners of his lips her own amused grin grew.

She tried to finish the few bites she had left when he spoke about his real plans for the day with a shrug. Going down to the beach and training a bit in the rings. That sounded so much more plausible. After building up their day into impossibility, a nice day on the beach training seemed like a breeze. Before she could agree he offered a third option to her, cuddling together for the rest of the day. Lil’s cheeks flushed at the thought and even if Ulric would hate finding them like that she was quite tempted.

"Maybe we can save that as a treat after our training.” She returned with quite the mischievous grin on her own features. There was no way he knew about her secret desires that snuck into her mind while they were together and apart. Lilith struggled with physical affection and closeness, but he couldn’t understand how much she wanted to lay in bed with his arms around her. Maybe her feelings would change if the scene became reality, but for now she would enjoy her thoughts.

"As long as dad doesn’t find us,” another amused giggle fell from her lips after she finished her breakfast. She wasn’t quite ready to start moving yet, but restlessness was finding her. "I should get up if we want to conquer those mountains.” She returned with a shy grin.
