@mystic_crystal He watched her, his smile expanding as she bounced up and down as he spoke. Momentarily, his mind drifted back to the last time they were here. He chuckled slightly, deciding to make a small joke. "Last time I was here, you were a different kind of excited," he teased lightly and then poked her forehead. His coat was not with him, at the moment, but he had a new weapon at his left hip—a sheathed katana, and the hilt looked inexplicably futuristic much like the rifle on his back. He took both off, though, and set them by the entrance to the den. "Right now, you don't *have* to deal with anything else; just you and me," he said and leaned down to kiss her again, this time a little slower, more affectionately before he pulled back.
