The shock of almost loosing her had faded, he could see her healthy and happy before him and worries of any lingering effects where pushed to the back of his mind. He was still holding the kitten and a thought that did intrude into his mind what was to do with it. He was fairly certain Lyric didn't intend to eat it after all she had gone through to save it, and had even promised it she wouldn't as they had freed themselves of tar. He just knew that it seemed to be something important to Lyric and would thus hold onto it until she told him otherwise. She was the one who mentioned staying here the night, or through his thoughts had been down that path and his words had hinted of it. He was still searching out a den with his eyes although their legs where yet to fully leave the stream that had cared for them. He was caught off guard by her next question however and his head shot back to her in surprise. He saw the blush creep against her cheeks and suddenly he was blushing also. ?I.. Ah, that is to say. I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't leave you here alone like this? He struggled for a moment to recover his composure, but when he did his eyes where steady on hers, he would do right by her and she had to see that. They where pulling free of the waters now, Alpine a constant support at her side. She would speak again and he would pause, fully free of the water now. ?No, of course I wouldn't think badly of you. I'm not sure I could.? He admitted gently, and she would surprise him again with her next words. She seemed to be doing that a lot, catching him off glad. He was amazed that she constantly could, like he just couldn't believe she would feel anything to him like what he felt about her. [b] ? And your important to me, Lyric, I.. I like spending time with you, even like this? He laughed softly and started walking again, in a promising direction. He was sure he could see something that would suffice up ahead, not quite a cave but a nestle of bushes that looked just right for them to duck under and spend the night out of the elements. ?Come on, I think I see where we can stay? he said softly, flicking his tail against her side and nodding his head in the right direction.
