Apparently lightning can strike twice

With the sad and awkward truth of what had brought him here out in the open and his equally awkward attempt at suggesting he come stay with her put out there, it was tossed into Tira's court to see how she took it. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as she quipped back with her usual sassiness, watching as she pulled herself up onto the edge of the hot spring, revealing the upper portion of her torso and letting him watch as the water rolled off of her and allowed her fluffy, soft fur to cling to her body—or at least as much of it as he could see over the steaming water. It had caught him off guard when he saw her again for the first time back in The Hallows with how stunningly beautiful she had grown up to be in comparison to the little, spunky pup he had first met what felt like ages ago, and even now that he had crossed paths with her a couple of times he was still struck by how pretty she was. It was almost enough to distract him from what she was saying about her being too hot to handle for him and he nearly missed the appraising look her light blue eyes were giving the rest of his body, but when he did notice it made the sly grin reappear on his muzzle.

He tried to keep his thoughts focused on her words and forced his gaze to linger on hers instead of trying to roam down her body in an attempt to peek through the surface of the water to the rest of her feminine form hiding beneath. It turned out that their roles were reversed now and while he had become a loner, she had found herself in her uncle's pack. The description of her large, spacious, private den certainly didn't help the direction his thoughts were going and he was already imagining how they might make use of that den together if she accepted him coming to live with her. She turned the attention back to him, questioning him on what he could bring to the table in their arrangement, the sultry look she was giving him only cementing that he wasn't the only one with a one track mind. He chuckled and replied, "Well, I'm certainly a capable fighter, not too shabby as a hunter, pretty good at crafting and the like... but I don't think that's really what you're wanting, is it?"

With a grin still lingering on his lips, Ciná got to his paws and stepped toward the water, slipping into the hot spring beside her with a contented sigh as the warm water surrounded him and came up to just below his chest as he sat himself on the ledge she had been resting on. Without hesitation, his large paws slipped around her sides and pulled her toward him. She was easy enough to move how he wanted with their ridiculous difference in size, but that was even more true with the water making her basically weightless. He pulled her feminine frame over on top of his own, settling her on his lap before letting his paws roam over her back, sides, hips, and outer thighs. "It sounds like you need someone to share that spacious bed with," he commented, his voice growing more husky in their intimate closeness. He gave her thighs a teasing squeeze, grinning as he added, "I'd be more than happy to do that for you."
