Xylia slid her tail closer to his and wriggled a bit closer as well, she wanted to curl up against him and take in his delightful warmth. His spikes and fangs didn't concern her, instead she felt safe seeing them near.
She opened her eyes to look at him a long moment words tumbling from her mouth "You know Cornelius...your very handsome..."

He blinked down at her, "R-really, I am?" he asked, never really taking his appearance into account since he came otu so differentlythen his brother and sister.

Xylia smiled and nodded at him moving her paw to touch his lightly.
"Your coat is always this perfect shiny ebony...and your golden marks glisten when the sun catches them." She blushed and looked down.
How very scruffy she felt next to the warrior, she who was only the last of her clan. Otters who had lived in peace for so long, simple traders of ocean goods for those found in rivers. A great royal lineage, and she was the only one who hadn't been killed off by the firey otters who wanted the land for their own. If only she had been stronger, brave like Cornelius...she might have been able to help somehow.

Cornelius felt the heat on his face burn a bit as he looked at her. Did she really think of him like that? He was nothing like his family, only getting his darkness and gold markings from the cloths his mother wore, for some strange reason.
"I don't see how you can say that. You yourself are beautiful. Your mix of colors is quite exotic, especially with the red symbol on your forehead." he said.

She blushed and looked down "I like the fact it seems to match your mark..." She leaned in close to press her head against his, touch her nose to his.
"Cornelius..." Her voice wavered uncertainly.

Cornelius was pretty sure the blush on his face was now visible, but he didn't mind that Xylia could see it. "Yes...?" he asked.

"I...I really..." She blushed and pulled back looking down. "I'm really sorry I got so close...I know you like your space.."
She released a trembling breath and tried to hide her disappointment, if only she could say it.

Cornelius wanted to growl and tear at the dirt with his claws, but he just wanted to lose his temper. But, for once, he kept in check as he blinked and then...a small smile played on his face, "Stay here..." he said and he turned and retreated into his den.
A few moments later, he came back out, trotting on three paws, his other front paw clutched to his chest and tightly closed around something. He looked very nervous as he approached her, "I.....I have something for you....I know it isn't much....and you probably received much, much more, but....I want you to have this....as a gift from me." he said as he opened up his paw to her, revealing the shiny pearl.

Xylia bent her head over his paw and gasped, such a beautiful pearl.
She looked up at Cornelius her nose touching his again.
"Thats the most beautiful thing anyones ever offered me...."

"Not as beautiful as you..." he whispered softly, taking one of her paws gently in his own (how could he not notice her paws were so much smaller then his) and he rested the pearl in it. "Xylia...I feel for you what I have never felt for anyone else...." he confessed.

She felt her paw warm, the sensation traveled down the rest of her body as her heart lifted.
"Cornelius...I...I care about you to, I want you to be happy, and I don't ever want to see you get hurt...because...I love you." She murmured softly and looked up at him.

Cornelius swore he had never felt such joy in his life. His arm wrapped around her smaller frame and drew her close so he could lick the red symbol on her forehead, "And I love you as well Xylia Silverwave..." he whispered, leaning his forehead against hers.
