Slowly moving from one spot to another he used his teeth to brush through her fur. It wasn't like she needed it. Her fur was beautiful, and he rather liked her scent that swirled around his nostils and covered his muzzle. With a content growl rumbling through his chest Hotei twtched, his body warming at her touch.

If he could Hotei would stay like this forever. Lost in Jessie's scent, high on her soft touch, and more comfortable than he had ever been since before the fire that tore through his old home in Hidden Tree pack. Hotei wanted this to last. Either that, or he would make it routine to groom her whenever they relaxed. He wondered if Jessie would like that.

The minutes passed by and the dark wolf relaxed laying down beside the gray princess.
"Comfy?." He rumbled in a low octive surprised at the huskyness in his voice.

If the burnt male had any reaction to her words, she had not noticed it…but when he nodded his head, “yes” Jessie’s tail swayed once behind her before stilling, edging closer so that he small head could reach over his large body. She felt like a mouse compared to him…only she wasn’t his prey. They were family and merrily looking out for one another, just as they would always do. She was unsure of where she wanted to start, but the comforting fact that his scent was surrounding her, brought easy relief into her tense muscles, and she was soon unconsciously starting to groom him. His nose, tongue, and teeth washed him in a constant pattern, never staying in one place for too long, but not too little either.

Just being with him brought the small joy she had been trying to grasp since she had returned to find her sister, though she never really saw her much. She was sure she had seen more of Ice and Marsh then she had ever seen her sister. When she was done, her emerald eyes traveled back to meet his yellow ones, and she was soon laying down, her body laying off to the side, making her look much more like a feline. A small smile was on her face as she listened to the one word he spoke. Her ears twitched at the tone that he was using and it reminded her of another wolf she had met…the one she had met in Ghastly Hollows. The wolf who’s name had been Burn.

She silently shook of the feeling, turning her attention back to the handsome male in front of her, nodding her head. She was starting to become tired though and she was soon yawning, her small paw darting towards her mouth to cover it before laying her head down on the ground. Her eyes quickly scanned the sky, only to find that the rain had stopped and the sun had gone down…the moon slowly starting to rise in the sky. She blinked once, her eyes slowly starting to close on her, though she stayed awake. Twitching her ears she told him in a whisper, "I‘m exhausted."
