Though Novella of course wasn't displeased with the interruption to her sleep, Frith would play along all the same, commenting briefly upon the rudeness of the individual to have dared rouse her. Whilst the loving touches continued just the same, that comment would apparently be the end of their game, Frith now choosing to chance the subject.
It had been a long time since either of them had ventured to their cave. Too busy with children and then Frith had been too ill for a while. When the possibility had presented itself to visit again, Novella had been too devastated to tarnish the place with such an unhappy memory or equally taint the memory of her parents with a wonderful crystal cave. Frith hadn't mentioned it again until now, and even then it was in a delicate manner, not a part of their games but a soft request.
Novella would be the one to twist it back to their fun it seemed though there was no way of telling this as she withdrew from her mate's side, a calm expression still upon her features until she spoke. "Catch me." A sly smile would form now and already the white woman was bounding out of the den before he had a chance to react. She wasn't sure whether to beeline straight for the waterfall or extend the games further, but for now she simply ran.
