This time it was Ammon’nen to bop Aagiro on the head. Did she really just say that? “You dope!” he joked, purring. He knew that tone in her voice of what would happen if he was lying to her. He didn’t want to face the wrath of Aagiro. At least, not tonight anyways. “Of course I don’t mean as a friend…” He wouldn’t have kissed her if it was just a friend. Unless…it was a friend with benefit kind of thing, but that deal had expired a long time ago. “I’ve…well…to be honest…I’ve liked you for a…while now,” stop, swallow, breathe. “But…I…er…didn’t know how to tell you?” He hung his head as if in shame. Oh that awkwardness was slowly returning.

Did he just call her a dope? Her eyes narrowed more, though she couldn't help but let most of the frustration melt at that deep, rumbly purr of his. To her surprise, she was also purring! Damn him! But she was no longer angry when he reassured her he didn't mean as a friend, and her stomach gave a little flutter. "O...Oh." She said, and if lions could blush she would have been. Probably would have been for a while.
Dammit, couldn't they do anything right? She was not going to let this get awkward again! She cleared her throat, lightly nuzzling her head into his mane, though the contact was brief and a little uncertain, as though she might be testing out the affectionate gesture. "Oh? Won you over with my charming personality, did I?" She mumbled softly to him, and then laughed because at least she knew how ridiculous that sounded. It also gave her an excuse not to admit that...
wait, why did she need excuses now? If he liked her and she liked him... she could tell him whatever she wanted, right? "Me too." She murmured, once her laughter had did down. "But when you called us friends... I thought..." She trailed off and smiled sheepishly, shrugging. "So... what now?" She said uncertainly. They liked each other, all fine and well... but Aagiro's extent of knowledge concerning mates was basically... mates.. pride... babies... something like that. It was like a rule to be boring or something once you had cubs. She didn't want to be boring! "We'renotgoingtobeboringarewe?" She said in a rush, sitting up again so she could stare at him in the eyes. Oh dear gods she would take it all back, she swore she would!

Well…he had called them friends….but…he didn’t want to express his feelings. “I didn’t want you to think…no I didn’t know how you would respond if I told you how I felt back there. I…didn’t want you leaving on me?” his heart would have been broken. Shattered into a million pieces and unable to be put back together. He probably then would have found the nearest female to cling to, and then would end in cubs he truthfully wouldn’t want, because it wasn’t going to be with Aagiro. But those feelings weren’t necessary now; she liked him too. Everything was good!
Of course. What now.”Oh, you know, I was thinking we could go back to the swamps…play with those frogs again,” he teased, giving her a goofy grin. “Or…better yet. I was thinking we could head back to the desert…I…rather enjoyed the pride of ruins there….I think that would be a good place to settle down,” he coughed slightly. “If…you wanted to that was…”
“Boring? Oh please Kitten, I could NEVER be boring!” he puffed out his chest.

She nodded slowly, then nipped his chin. "Idiot." She mumbled, but only teasingly. She sure would have been saved a lot of trouble if he'd just admitted his feelings back there... though thinking back on it she guessed she wouldn't of either, had their roles been reversed.
She settled back down on top of him, she rather enjoyed laying on his fluffy body, it was warm and comfortable. "Bah!" She growled the sound out, showing her distaste for the idea of the swamps. She never wanted to go near those swamps again. Her ears flicked at his next thought though. Settle down... those words scared her a little... but the Tuait'Tekem wasn't a bad idea, it was really beautiful there and the members had all been pleasant, the ones she'd met. She rested her head on his chest, thinking it over in her head. She wondered if they'd be allowed to leave at all, to make small trips and things like that... or maybe she would come to want to stay in the same place for the rest of her life?
Her tail flicked, she could imagine that... it didn't seem half bad. In fact, it seemed rather charming. Hadn't she spent her entire life as an outsider? Sure she hadn't really traveled to that many places or had any real adventures... but she'd also never had a place to call home or friends or... anything like that. IF it was with Ammon'nen... She could call the Tuait'Tekem her home. If he wanted to stay there, she wanted to stay there. Yes, that thought came easy and seemed good. She purred softly, nodding against his chest. "I... think that would be alright... I did like it there." She sounded a little afraid, but mostly excited.
Kitten again? "Hey!" She growled, having not used his 'pet name' since... well not for a while now! She suddenly nipped at him. "Pah, if anyone's the boring one it's you." She teased, then gave a mischievous smirk. "Princess." She hoped it still annoyed him, but now only in a childish and playful manner rather than to actually annoy him for the sake of annoying. This was actually really... lovely. She felt more... more herself than how she'd previously behaved with Nen, letting him see more of the side that mostly only the strangers they met on their journeys got to see. Still, she was sure he'd be the only lion who would ever get to see all sides of her.

His ear twitched at her nickname for him. At least there wasn’t hate behind her words. Nen could definitely get use to this attitude. It’s not like they adored each other so much that their relationship would be a constant bore. Every now and then, Ammon’nen would say something stupid that would flare up Aagiro’s attitude, but he knew he would figure out a way to get the female back on his side. It’s weird how being with someone constantly night and day brought them so close together. He hoped it would last. The little flutter that she gave in his heart was something he did not want to leave.
“Good.” He purred out, nuzzling against her slightly. “I say,” he started, slowly, “one more day here…and then we’ll head back to our home.” Our home. Oh that was so nice to say!
