The female didn't reply to his 'thank you', choosing to instead quietly smile and nuzzle into her tail. A soft, gentle sigh escaped the tired vixen as she shifted further into her tail, hearing the males gentle breathing as he slipped into sleep.

She decided that, when the cold got to the exposed part of her back, she would move closer to Kiran for his warmth and perhaps share her own. She didn't snuggle into him like she would others, instead respecting his space, well, respect it as much as a little Viola could! Her side brushed against his gently and she closed her eyes, nuzzling her muzzle back into her tail.

She was happy. For awhile she had been lonely due to Junko and her new mate. Viola had been so used to being pampered and loved by Junko.... and being spoiled. However, as Viola had gone throughout her life she had learned quickly that it wasn't time to be a child anymore. She needed to be grown up.... right? She was no longer able to be her playful self because she was alone....

But then Kiran had showed up, saving her silly life and humoring the vixen. She had acted her silly, playful self and while he grumpily rolled his eyes or grunted something towards her, he never snapped. He never told her to stop, and he accepted her even if in a grumpy fashion. It had caused the tiny but energetic vixen to feel at ease. Someone liked her for her, and she suspected he liked her because he certainly did not seem like the kind of male to stick around another if he didn't like them somewhat. He was sweet, too, in his own unique way.

With this relaxing thought the vixen just smiled and twitched an ear, drifting off into a dreamless but calming slumber.
