Hush Meadow Light 'em Up

@Drestig if you want one last post in, go for it<3

Content with letting him do some speaking the dark female listened as he spoke of Narimé, saying she was a special lady. Although it caused her to tense the slightest bit listening to Drestig, Silver forced herself to relax and offer a polite chuckle. "Yes, she is something else. Still great no matter what though."

The topic of relationships took a sudden spin. Almost like the world was slowing down when Drestig spoke with that fine voice. She couldn't help but get lost swimming in his fiery eyes. They set her mind and heart ablaze every time she looked into them with her own golden eyes.

"I never really thought of it like that. I guess I always wanted what others had, ya know?" She paused letting her eyes drop down to the floor of the cramped den. "I guess I just wanted the life of being tied down and playing the role of a happy mate." Her brows furrowed a bit flustered at herself for letting this all spill out. Maybe it was for the best though, perhaps she had said these things because she trusted him. It seemed out of all the friends and places that changed in her life that he was still there. Standing strong against the hurricane, otherwise known as her life, like a pillar of safety.

Smiling softly she curled up a bit tighter resting her head on her paws. "We'll need a bit of sleep. Especial you, Mr. scout-in-training." The dark coated woman would allow one last smile before closing her eyes tightly. Of course she wasn't fully accepting sleeping curled up in her ball alone. Stretching her neck slightly she let the front of her muzzle graze @Drestig's paws. "Maybe this is where I find happiness."

The light tensing of her muzzles did not escape the ebony man's attention, and he cowered slightly, folding his ears back in a submissive manner as he answered her endorsement of Narimé with a heartfelt: "Absolutely." He hadn't meant to offend the woman, and the last thing he wanted was to anger Silver. He smiled sheepishly up at her, like a mischievous pup who had been caught doing something he shouldn't, begging her forgiveness with wide, glittering eyes. She didn't seem to have taken too much offence though, and he felt a surprising wave of relief rush through him; I don't want her to think badly of me! It was quite a revelation to the roguish chap, he normally didn't care much what others felt about him, but for some reason, Silver's opinion mattered. He felt strangely warm and tingly when she spoke of her dreams of matehood, her open honesty touching him, and her apparent embarrassment making a soft smile curl on his muzzle. She quickly switched to subject, clearly uncomfortable with the emotional intimacy, and Drestig suppressed a chuckle, half amused by her coyness and half relieved that the conversation would not stick in such personal territory; I'm not really comfortable with that either... Instead, the black pelted lass made herself comfortable - as much as she could in the tight space - and pointed out their need for sleep; his in particular! He grinned back at her, part of him wanting to keep talking, though he was also beginning to feel the fatigue of a long, active day. Still, the thought of leaving her in favor of sleep was not sitting well with him; but then she, quite casually, stretch out her muzzle to rest it on his forelegs, and suddenly the thought of sleeping wasn't so jarring. A light yawn parted his jowls, and slowly, already feeling the heaviness of sleep settling over him, he stretched out as much as possible in the tight space, curving himself around her rolled up body. Eyes sliding closed, he nuzzled her cheek lightly before resting his head next to hers, whispering in her ear right before he fell asleep; "It's not too late for you, to get what you want."
