His head shook slowly, he hadn't really been cold to begin with. The pools in Oba often felt really cold since it was always so hot and the springs somehow always stayed cool. Qor listened intently, Irro never really talked about her skin so when she did he always listened. He found it interesting that her dad had a patch of lighter pigment but not all over like she had it. It must be hard sometimes, for her Qora thought. It was different for him since he was all one pigment. He could only imagine how it was for her growing up but maybe he could help her see that it only made her more beautiful ALL the time.
"You were their own personal treasure Irro. Unique. Beautiful. There was no reason for them not to go through the trials they had to. I get it though. A parent's love for their child will make them do things they might not otherwise." He wondered if he should continue, but her kisses certainly discouraged that quickly. His free arm held her tightly halfway wishing they could stay like this forever.
