I like long walks on the beach

Lillith's shy gentleness took Roman by surprise. He had expected jubilation from her, celebration for her well earned victory, but instead he got hesitant care from her as she brushed the loose sand from his steel-blue coat. Her touch left little tingles of static across his fur. He gazed up at her in sheer wonder; had he heard her right? She was apologizing to him?! Lillith was far too sweet and kind to exist in this world. She mentioned how she couldn't let him win, and he agreed with her, but she wasn't reveling enough for his liking.

"And you didn't... and that's why you should be celebrating more!" Giving her a wicked grin, Romulus swiftly rolled back over toward her and closed the thin strip of space between them, going to throw his forelegs around her sides, paws seeking out her sides with quick dancing claws to tickle her. If she wouldn't grin from ear to ear and laugh triumphantly, then he was going to make her laugh for the victory she deserved! "C'mon, champion, let's see that winner's smile!"
