His fumble made her feel like she had less of a reason to be embarrassed. A smile would grace her lips as she listened to him - grateful for his willingness to stay beside her. She understood the feeling of being loyal to family, but this was something entirely different. They enjoyed each other's company and looked out for each other even though they didn't have to. There was no obligation, no responsibility - and yet he had pulled her out of the tar pits when it endangered him. He was kind, and he did it all for her and honestly it was too much to take in. That someone could find her so important to them - Alpine probably didn't know it, but she was completely taken by him. And it seemed that all he needed to do was react to her naturally for her to feel that way.
She was a bit surprised that he didn't think her at all silly after today, but she also relaxed a bit, knowing that he understood her well enough to not think badly of her. That he cared so much that he physically couldn't was what really shocked her though - she could be naive, she knew that, but he saw something in her that she wasn't sure that she ever would - and it baffled her when she thought on it too hard. He thought her just as important to him as she did, and his laughter would pull a chiming giggle from her as well. "Our next date will be less life-threatening." She would comment. "I'll try not to cause you any more trouble." The next time that they spent time together would be less frightening and dangerous, she would be sure of it. No more tar pits would be in their future for sure.
The bushes that he pointed toward looked like a perfect place to rest - and she would force her tired paws to move without making it obvious that she was running out of steam after a long day. She felt bad even thinking about being tired with all that Alpine had done for her - he had been the one to carry her, to support her - and with that in mind she swore that she would try to stay awake to see to it that he fell asleep first.
Lyric would place a kiss to his cheek when they reached the bushes, her tail wagging behind her. Sliding into their temporary den, she would make sure there was enough room for Alpine to sleep as well. They would perhaps need to squeeze a bit, but Lyric didn't mind an excuse to be closer to the ivory brute at all. "Home sweet home." She would say, and although there was play to her voice, there was a bit of a sigh that came with the thought. She would definitely need to speak with her mother after this - she could see herself with this male for a long time.
