His strength of character and his physical body. And very much attracted to his intimidating appearance, as was obvious in the way she pressed herself into his massive form. He warmed her against the cool breeze from the north as they faced the archipelago. As they spoke about their names, accepting his and giving her own felt right.

He showed his face in her sleeping dreams, but they were very different from the induced sleep she experienced as a yearling.

These thoughts raced through her mind but they were better left for another day. Hattori curled more tightly around her and she lifted her head back so she might kiss his cheek. They were finally alone, the feeling of having him all to herself was not one she would take for granted. She loved him, and knew he felt the same through so much more than words could ever say.
