(( And cavities on a beak are serious since they sort of don't have teeth..lol))
Amani sensed Keeper's uncertainty and slid off of his back, lowering her head and looking closely at the lake. She too took a couple of steps into the lake, just testing the water. " Is something wrong lovey?" she said, lifting her head to look up at him in concern. He certainly looked worried..What was bothering him?

Keeper broke himself from his thoughts, "N-no. Nothing wrong." he replied, still a little hesitant. That female wasn't here this time, the only female was his beloved. Keeper smiled and came to her side, "Nothing can be wrong." he assured.
Keeper walked a little deeper until his body was submerged, only his neck and head showed.

Amani smiled and dove the rest of the way into the water beside Keeper, re-emerging and shaking the water off of her head. She swam towards him the best she could, since water up to his neck was quite a bit deeper on her. With a bit of difficulty she starting cleaning herself up, brushing bits of dirt off of her featherfur with her beak
Floating about and cleaning at once was a bit difficult..

Keeper had a much more....masculine way of cleaning. He grinned and swam deeper into the lake and dove in. The water was so clean and cool, the male can see the many fishs that swam in it's waters. His bi-colored eyes looked down to the bottom spotting Amani's shadow. She was so small, adorable, loving, smart, and....his, he was glad he made the right choice. He swam up at her and rose up with her on his back.
"See, all clean." he grinned at her idiotically. Yup, the right choice.

Wobbling, Amani clung to Keeper's back as he emerged. She grinned right back and nuzzled his neck lovingly. " All clean.." she said, fluffling up her featherfur to let it dry. She was going to look like a little puffball once her featherfur dried completely. Until then, her feathers were still sleeked back..showing how small she really was without all the fluff.
(( ninja Drey wouldn't happen to be sneaky about his reasearch, would he? lol ))

Keeper looked back at his, his featherfur did little to hid his muscluar physique. He worked hard for those, but he always felt that he should cover them up. Didn't want to challenge any other Dustlings. He looked back at Amani's yet fluffed body, "Yes, all clean." he chuckled.
"So what do you want to do now?"
(( ninja ))

Amani licked at Keepers beak as she clung to him, afraid of falling off. It was then she noticed just how muscular he really was. "Wow.." she said, sounding a little dazed. He really does love to work out like he says..
She snapped out of it and shook her head a little to clear her thoughts. " Drey has been quiet for a while now..how about we test our new fireplace while he's still distracted?" she tilted her head at him with her question.

Keeper's fur turned a light purple color from the red blush. "T-thanks..." he whispered. He usually worked out since he had nothing better to do. Drey was always studying nowadays that it left him with a lot of free time. Fishing, swims, moving rocks away from the den to be more spacious, and digging. Keeper didn't always feel comfortable with his muscules, but when Amani compliment, that all changed. If that made her happy then he would do it more often. He sort of laughed on the inside.
"Sure, let's go gather some fire wood, that should warm us up." He grinned and swam back to short and let her off. "Alright, some dry sticks." he thought looking around. He looked down at Amani, she was smarter, she'd know what a dry stick would look like. He just gave a weak smile. I'm an idiot...

Amani stretched and shook the rest of the water off of her featherfur after hopping down from Keeper's back. " Well..if we were looking for wet sticks, we'd stay by the lake" she chuckled, licking his cheek when she saw the uncertainty in his smile, " Lets look in the forest.."
She fluffed up her featherfur and started walking towards the forest, she passed by keeper and let her tail trail along his body softly, beckoning him to follow.

Keeper shuttered as her tail brushed against him, god.... Keeper stayed close behind anything he saw suitable, most likely a tiny twig, he'd throw it unto his back and carry it. Though...most of his attention was on Amani's tail swishing before him. Keeper smiled and walked along side her. "After this we drop through the top of my room and back into our den." he suggested with a grin.

Amani grinned as well and nodded, starting to scan the forest floor for good firewood. All of the broken tree limbs that littered the ground should be dry enough to burn. She picked up only the thick fallen limbs, hoping they would burn longer. She Put the limbs onto her back and picked up a beak-full of dry leaves to use as kindling. All they needed now was two flint stones to start the fire with..surely there would be rocks at the den..

Keeper was distracted again, watching Amani when he walked into a low branch. "Ow!" he shouted as the branch fell off of it's trunk. Keeper picked it up and threw it onto his back. "This is the first one to burn..." he gruff. The branch was large enough to be the only thing to burn. Keeper just snapped off some branches and threw them onto his back. On it was sticks from the size of toothpicks to that of that branch.
"I think we got enough, wanna go back?" he asked, turning slowly not to drop anything. Keeper approached her and took a few off of her's. "Here let me get those for you."

Amani nodded to keeper with a smile, wanting to giggle but unable to through her beak-full of kindling leaves. Turning again, she flicked her tail against him as she began to walk back towards the den, drawing it along his underside this time with a grin, just wanting to see his reaction to her.
Upon reaching the den, she eased herself through the top of his bedroom, and then proceeded down into their new room.

Keeper shuddered when her tail ran under him. What was she trying to do!? Keeper just kept walking, his tail twitching behind him, he didn't want her to see him in his weakness. He was glad that they made it back to the den without him losing it.
Keeper came inside and slipped down below. "Give me a moment." Keeper slipped back out and went next door to Drey's room.
His room was a mess....again. Books, papers, everywhere. A few laps laid scattered about. Keeper whined as Drey turned around. He didn't say anything noticing that Keeper was motioning towards the lamp. He simply nodded and Keeper took it away.
Back down below he placed the lamp by his feet. "Saved us the trouble with starting the fire."

Amani assembled the branches she had collected in their fireplace and stuck the kindling leaves in between them. When Keeper returned with the lamp, it was she who felt like the clueless one. She had never seen one before now. Staring at it, she sat down beside Keeper and gave him a confused look.
" What is it..?" She asked curiously, her tail swishing about behind her.
