Frith's attempts hadn't been in vain, Novella felt a little disorientated and of course was now trapped within her mate's embrace though neither the roll or her current position had caused any sort of pain or discomfort. Frith would matter of factly agree with her before leaning in for a kiss and she would return the gesture as he spoke his soppy declaration.
Although she comfortable enough as she was and very much in admittance of the fact that she had lost the chase, Novella wasn't quite ready to give up the playful moment just yet. She would attempt to wriggle now, paws pushing up against Frith as she tried to free herself, a few playful nips added in just for good measure, though at this angle the only place she could really reach were his ankles.
