Her ears flicked up as the other laughed, a gentle blush touching her features at the fact Abby had caused it. Her smile wavered as the woman moved closer suddenly, and then it froze.

What.

When Merit pulled away and quickened her pace Abby was still frozen. What? What had just happened? Had she been kissed? Yes, it was on the cheek, but did that even matter? It was from Merit, and dear god was she shocked! A blush erupted, tail wagging a mile a minute as she suddenly caught up to Merit and, with a shy squeak, she returned the affection with a gentle and sweet nuzzle to Merit's neck. It was obvious she was too shy to return the kiss, yet.

"Alrighty~" Was the only response she gave, mostly because she was literally trembling due to her nervous nature and fact that the girl she was beginning to hold a massive crush on had kissed her cheek. Hell, she didn't care when they got to the tribe, dark or not. All she cared about was walking beside Merit, keeping in step with the others quick pace and feeling the woman's heat against her side.

Ah, life was good.
