Feles HAD said he would help. And he meant to.
Truly he did.
Unfortunately, his mind was already working as he moved into the room with her, and he'd immediately veered off towards the shelf of books in the room, examining them with quick eyes and nimble fingers. Nox's summons still rang in his mind, as well as her charge to find out just what the hell had happened to the King of the Sun Court. In that respect, he was looking for information anywhere he could. He pulled a couple of promising tomes from the shelf, setting those aside as well. "May I take these with us?" he asked, peering around the bookshelf at Aranea.

Aranea turned at the sound of her beloved's voice, a an eyebrow raised as she was curious as to just when he had silently padded past her to make a beeline for her bookshelves. She narrowed her eyes a little, but merely nodded;
'Take what you wish..you'll be the one carrying them,' she stated as she piled a few personal affects onto a thick, red coloured cloth, twisting the corners together so that she could carry them in the makeshift bag.

Grinning, Feles added a couple more tomes to the stack, then moved towards Aranea to wind his arms around her middle. As she shoved things into the sack, he leaned in and kissed the back of her neck, the motion shoving the cloak away from her hair. "And what am I carrying for you?" he asked.

She smiled, reaching up and behind with a hand to touch the side of his face, her fingers lightly stroking his cheek.
'Everything..' she teased a little, but knowing that he could only carry things under one arm as the other was needed for his stick, she would never really make him.
'I'll load you up like a faithful pack horse,' Aranea turned in his arms, and bestowed a kiss on the end of his nose.

Feles rolled his eyes, making a pitiful attempt at a whinny before he tilted his head and caught her in a kiss. "Pack horse, eh?" he asked, glancing at the bag she was carrying and the hair bands that were on top of the small pile. "Clothing?" he asked, smirking wryly at her and ducking to the side before he could get smacked.

A soft laugh escaped her lips at his 'impression'.
'My dear Feles,' Aranea said, her voice even.
'Would you want me to wear clothes when I'm staying with you?' she looked sidelong at him.
'I would have thought that the last thing you wanted...me being covered from head to toe in clothes,' she picked up the cloth bundle, and a stack of books, balancing them between the two hands on her left side.
'Okay..let's go.'

"I thought those WERE your clothes," he commented, snickering as he moved to scoop up the books and tuck them beneath one arm. Once they were balanced, he took up the walking stick, making certain he had a good hold on both before taking his first step. "Shall we go then?"

'I swear, I'll wear a shapeless black dress the entire time I'm staying with you,' Aranea said, her voice tinged with amusement and threat.
'Yes, please, before I turn into a frozen statue. I need warming up,' she smiled impishly at him before walking out of her chambers.

Nothing else needed to be said at THAT comment. Feles just fell into step behind her, making a show of closing the door to her quarters... when he was actually just giving himself an excuse to enjoy the view. Once that was done, he caught up to her with little trouble, making his way towards his own quarters on the upper levels.
"There's a fire burning in that fireplace... and I believe there is a lovely fur rug spread out in front of it that's just our size," he murmured, leaning in to nuzzle at her cheek.

'You're trying to make me drop these aren't you?' Aranea said, as when he leaned in to brush against her cheek his hair tickled her a little.
'A fire and a fur rug huh? Sounds like I won't be going anywhere for a while after we get to yours again.' she grinned at him. They would be on their own again, in perfect peace and comfort...and she could speak to him about the thoughts that had been swelling in her mind lately.

"No, because if you drop them, I can't carry them." He held up his own burden, snickering softly. A couple flights of stairs and about ten minutes later, they stood in front of his door, the cat balancing the books as he leaned his staff against the wall and pushed the door open with that hand. "After you," he said, forgoing the effort of a bow. That move would likely wind up with books spilled all over the floor.

Aranea merely huffed at that, walking on until they reached his door. When it was opened, the warm air trapped inside touched her, enticing her inwards and she went inside, putting the stuff she was carrying on a free table, and going over to the fire. She stood on the fur rug, the long, soft hairs cushioning and warming her feet. She discarded her cloak, folding her legs underneath her as she sat down. She looked over her shoulder at Feles, waiting for him to join her as she held two hands, palms facing outwards, towards the warmth of the fire.

Feles set the books carefully down, making sure they were safe before he moved towards the plush rug and curled up alongside Aranea. He was fairly warm-blooded, himself... seemingly radiating his own heat when he was around someone else. He wrapped an arm around his lover, nuzzling her shoulder as he used his own body heat to try and warm her up as well. "You should feel better once the chill is gone," he murmured, kissing her shoulder lightly.

She nestled into Feles, and the combination of the fire, the rug and his wonderfully warm body pressed against hers, did their job of heating her up. She didnt feel half as sluggish as before, and she pulled his hand towards her face, holding it in two of her own, kissing the tips of each of his fingers. Then she put it down, turning a little so that his hand would rest naturally on her bared stomach.
'Feles..' she began softly, not entirely sure how to steer a conversation towards the subject she wanted to discuss, other then just bringing it up out of the blue.

"Hmm?" he asked softly, resting his cheek against her shoulder as the claws of his fingers trailed lightly against her stomach. He liked to 'draw' on her, using just enough pressure from a claw that it would leave a faint reddened mark behind... but not enough to draw blood, nor enough to make the mark last for longer than an hour. His tail wrapped around her waist as he nestled against her, keeping her held close to him as if he were protecting her from the cold.
