Liana gasped at what he said then composed herself quickly and said, "I don't think you know what you're saying."

Synsyn came over and sat on the bed after he hung the dried meat on a high up rock sticking from the wall like a hook. The stiff straw cracked and sank under his weight where he sat making Liana sink toward him a little. She had to lean back some more and watched him. Syn started to purr noticing she was slightly nervous but so was he. He didn't know how she felt but had a clue. He knew how strong he felt but wasn't certain about Liana but he gave it a shot.

He said the best way he could in English, "I like you sei'ii. As more than a friend. Don't know how to say."

Liana blushes and looked at the furs she was sitting on. At one side she wanted to cry and be happy but then again her own mortality reminded her that she shouldn't be.

"Syn... I really feel the same. You're not just any friend to me. More than a best friend too. But it would never work." She said sadly.

Synsyn grew anxious and used his right palm to life her chin to his gaze. He said in a low voice still purring, "why not?"

Liana could see he was worried by his gaze and said, "it's not because of our differences, even though that is something to consider but I might let you down. I'm sick and you should grow old with someone not have to bury them right when the relationship gets started, you know?"
She tried making light of things at the end which irritated Syn and made him feel sad but he kept calm and said, "no. I will take you as a mate. If you want me. Even though you sick, I want you to be here with me. No matter."

Liana lit up inside and smiled, "you mean it?"

Synsyn smiled back noticing how she was warming up and her body lit up in his sight. He nodded and pitted more loudly and deeply.

"You really like me, sei'ii?"

He noticed her use of his language and it made him feel light as air. He said back, "I more than like you, sei'ii."

Liana was beaming at this point and leaned close and hugged him. Synsyn did the same and held onto her.

When they broke apart from their hug Synsyn lifted Liana's chin and said low, "first I make you better" he then pointed at her head and continued, "then while you are with me... we go on many hunts together. Let me have this?" He pointed then to her chest.

Liana smiled and blushed then asked for confirmation, "you mean my heart?"

Synsyn nodded and said, "you once said ooman feel from the heart. Like heart hold soul."

She thought of his words and smiled saying, "Synsyn while I'm alive you will have my heart, even in death, I'll watch over you with my soul."

Synsyn was shocked in childlike wonder at what she said. It made him feel glad and proud of his choice of a mate. "You can do that?" He asked.

Liana just smiled and answered, "if you believe in the soul and ghosts then yeah."

He smiled back and nodded rubbing her back since he couldn't rub her head. For some reason he loved petting her head and feeling her hair. That wavy red hair of hers was soft even though it was messy most of the time.

Liana felt restless now that her feelings for Synsyn came out and that he felt the same. That and the new home was stirring up her curiosity. She looked around and Synsyn stood up and went over to their things to finish putting things up.

Liana spoke up, "it's awesome that you found this place. Why didn't you tell me?"

He was taking out some dried fruits and vegetables from the pack and answered, "you were resting while I hunted. Remember the tea I made for you?"

"Yeah.."

"Well while climbing tree to get fruit I saw the cave. I wanted to check it before showing you."

"When did you check the cave then?"

He stopped what he was doing and smirked trying to figure out her language and what to say, "when you were.... what do you say? Bo-ru-ing?"

She laughed and corrected with, "ah you mean brewing, steaming like a vegetable!" She giggled.

He shook himself at her use of words. She made it sound like bathing wasn't good for her and she was letting herself cook. He didn't like it but when he'd check on her she seemed fine except when she got out of the hot water he noticed that if she move too fast she could pass out, that she was lightheaded.

Maybe not so good to cook like that, he thought and shook himself. He answered her, "yes those words."

Liana fidgeted with the furs then asked, "I'm guessing the cave wasn't empty and that's where these hides came from?"

He nodded again, "you guess right."

Liana made a "ah" then started to move some furs to make herself more comfortable. When Synsyn had made things acceptable to him he stopped moving things around and hanging the food. He turned to Liana and watched her fidget. He thought it was cute how she was moving things around.

Like the winged ones in a nest, he smirked watching her. She stopped when she felt eyes on her then she got an idea and said, "you know if I find some fluff I can sew is some pillows!"

He cocked his head to the side at the word, "fluff", and asked what it meant.

"Fluff, well I meant to find something fluffy. Um ah I know like animal wool, thick fire or cotton like fibers from a plant would be best. Something soft to stuff the furs with. Fluffy, like my hair."

He looked at her hair then came over and gently grabbed some of it feeling it in his fingers. Liana was nervous that he was going to cut her hair and give it to her but she just decided to trust him and let him touch her hair.

While he was touching it and thinking he said out loud, "fluffy like Liana hair."

"Yep something like that." She said but then felt bad that he might go looking for it at her requests he said, "but I can find it. I don't want you, you know, just doing things to please me all the time. I really want to get back out and help."

She bit her lip and looked out the cave.

He stopped touching her hair and looked out too. They both could hear thunder way off in the distance.

Synsyn looked back at her and put a heavy hand on her shoulder and said, "no worry. You help by fluffing and soo-ing (sewing). Recover then hunt with me."

Liana suddenly felt like she went from soldier on a mission to house wife, but she wasn't complaining about Syn, no not by a long shot. She was just bummed about being hurt and laid back.

Sitting back in the furs she said, "okay. I'll do what I can here."

"N'got." He said(good)

He then pointed to a small pile of wood saying, I have some dry wood but will have to get rocks for pit and more wood. Be back, you stay, rest."

He was being nice but stern knowing all too well how independent Liana was. She rolled her eyes and nodded with a smile then saluted him. He smiled and before walking away he said, "N'got, better."

At the mouth of the cave he scanned around tasting the air. He saw the creek down below and decided to go there for some flat rocks to make the fire pit.
