The carefree nature Anais was boosting, was a balm to his spirits. He could remembering vowing that he would make her laugh, and time and time again he seemed somehow, almost without trying to find a way to do so. Each time she did so it would warm him, thaw away at his heart until he felt it might just melt into a gooey pile in his chest. He already knew he was helpless in her paws, he would do anything for her, wanted to do anything for her, to be there for her for as long as he lived. One could almost consider this evening and night a date, starting with bringing her a flower and taking her to watch the sunset, to end the night with a game to better understand each other, to simply enjoy the company of the other. An amused grin tugged secretly at the corners of his lips at the thought, because he knew also that it was one he wouldn't be sharing with Anais, not yet anyway.
The latest line of questions brought more amusement from Anais, and he would hear the gentle swish of her tail as it swayed behind her, before stilling as he turned the conversation to one a little more serious, to fully answer her question he did have to bring a more intent tone to his words, that something happening to her or his family was a dire idea to the Titan. Before he he conjure up any further thoughts on his answer, of his family or sweet Anais getting hurt, she would bump her shoulder against him. Her touch was an instant balm, even as it tingled his skin with the sensation of her being so close to him. If her intent had been to elbow him roughly, that would be lost on him as she folded into his thick coat and hide with the nudge.
“You mean, your finished doing reckless things without me, right?” he shot back, a teasing twinkle was in his eyes, daring her to challenge him, daring her to challenge herself with reckless fun that the two could attempt – like the exploring of the caves and anything else the two could do together. She would nudge him again with her muzzle and he leaned into the caress, smiling down at her, and nodding his head in a slight movement at her question. He moved forward to shuffle about a bit of old grass and other random soft substances that had been used to create a more comfortable, if slightly abandoned spot in the cave. The next question that slipped from his muzzle would surprise even himself with how personal it was. “Have you ever thought of having children?” he asked.
