Can't Get You Outta My Mind

Azzurra gave a little shake of her head when he asked if he had distracted her, replying, "Nothing important." Rope vines surely weren't going anywhere and there was more than enough time to kill in her daily life that she needed to fill with something. She turned her head to look at him as he turned her a bit with his paw, giggling softly a bright smile on her face, her short tail wiggling. The high points of her usually boring days were these moments when she had Balthier's full attention, enjoying the way he looked at her and the way he made her feel. She hummed softly when his paw brushed her ear, looking up at him happily. She saw the slight shift in his expression and she gave a tilt of her head as he looked at her more seriously.

She smiled again at his statement, chuckling as she leaned up to tap her nose against his. "Of course you do, silly," she told him, though her expression didn't quite match the lightness of her words as their blue gazes met and she looked up at him with love and affection. Everything she had was because of him. He had kept her company all through her illness, made sure she was cared for when their father couldn't, kept her fed, gave her a home, gave her love. Of course he made her happy, but it went a lot deeper than that. She didn't know if other siblings had this kind of connection or if this was a strange sort of thing to feel, but she didn't really care. For once in her life she was content and not constantly worried about tomorrow and she had Balthier to thank for that.

She shifted and turned in his embrace till she was facing him, her light colored paws resting on his dark chest. She used the foreleg under her head like a pillow as she looked up at him happily. "You know you make me happy... Why do you ask?" It wasn't really a question she supposed, more of a statement of how he hoped that he did, but she didn't want that to ever be a question in his mind. He deserved every good thing that she could possibly help influence in his life and she wanted him to be just as happy living out in the world with her.
