[God, it's good to hear her voice again. Hearing her brilliant laughter, feeling her body against his, her breath on his face makes his stomach to excited flips, his heart hammering in his chest. He really did miss her. Every lonely night spent apart has been torturous, counting the days until they could be together again, until her tribe passed through his neck of the woods once more and she could sneak off to see him.

There's nothing keeping him here in this awful, boring town. Nothing but her. If her tribe allowed humans in their midst, he would leave everything behind in a heartbeat, just to spend every day with her. Just to wake up every morning like this, held securely against her, her hand cupping his cheek.] This stupid face missed you too.

[Lup's fingers poke at his soft belly, indeed softer since last time they met, and he wiggles in her strong grasp, feeling her tail coiling tighter around him. That tickles. She knows it does.] What, good enough t'eat? Thought y'promised y'wouldn't.

[Barry can't wait any longer, leaning in to press a lingering kiss to her lips, hot against her cool skin. His voice is softer when he pulls away.] Don't tell me y'reconsidered. Walked an awful long way out here just t'get eaten.
