Hathor was settled by a small fire she had made on the beach once the sun had set, with her sister Isis nestled next to her under a blanket. The kitten had fallen asleep just after dark and Hathor was grateful, she needed to talk to Tassos alone, or at least as alone as they could get.
She found herself fiddling with the shell on the string around her neck as she watched the treeline for movement. For the first time in a long time she was nervous about seeing him. Would he even care once she told him? Her tail swished back and forth lazily. He said he would be here soon, hopefully he wouldn't stand her up.

Tassos yawned and stretched as Warren's sleepy demeanor started rubbing off on him. They had just had their supper of fish and berries when he agreed to meet Hathor near the shore.
He searched the shoreline for the other two, curious as to what this was all about.

The older cattaur spotted something move out of the corner of her eye and her gaze snapped right to it. With the fading lightly she was grateful for her feline sight. It was a taur most definately. She reached up and ran her fingers through her hair. But was it Tassos?
She continued to watch the other taur that emerged from the trees further up the shoreline until it got close enough to make out details, only calling out when she was sure it was the black haired centaur.
"Tassos!"

His hair whipped in the sea breeze of the evening, he looked almost like a shadow against the rich burgundies and blues of the sky as pinpricks of stars started to show along the darkest part of the horizon. Tassos almost looked like an old sailor returning from a voyage across the sea in his hand-sewn shirt and the sack upon his back that contained the little Wolftaur Warren.
"Hullo, Hathor," he called back and moved to meet her.

"I'm glad you made it." Hathor smiled and stood when he came close, moving to embrace him and drew back after a moment. "Have you two already eaten?" She reached up and brushed a bit of hair behind her hair, a faint blush forming on her cheeks.

"Yes, if I didn't feed him he'd've declared anarchy," Tassos nodded with a smirk as he looked over his shoulder to his sleeping brother. "Have you?"

"Mhm, and Isis is out like a light already. Come and sit." She motioned to the fire and then went to settle back down again.

Tassos followed her and rested his lower half down, tucking in his legs and he fished in his bag for a bit of string. Tying back his hair he finally asked her.
"What's going on, anyway? What's so important that you gotta tell me in private? Are you hurt?"

"No...I'm not hurt." The blush on Hathor's cheeks brightened and she fiddled with the shell absently again. It would be obvious to the centaur that she was nervous. "Even if you think I'm silly after this, please promise you'll still be my friend."

Tassos looked at her suspiciously, his ears perked up and he looked at her with one eye squinting. "What could you possibly say that would make me stop being your friend?" he shrugged. "All girls are silly, anyway," he added.

"I'm fond of you Tassos..." Hathor let go of the shell and wringed her hands. "...really really fond of you...and I don't know how else to put it..." She scooted closer to him and leaned over to give him a quick peck on the lips before drawing back shyly, which was very unlike her usual demeanor. At this moment, she felt as if butterflies were fluttering around in her stomach, only adding to her nervousness.

He blinked.
....
He looked at her.
...
Blinked again.
"What just happened?" Tassos' voice cracked and he put a hand to his mouth and looked into his hand as though the kiss would rub off and be there in his palm. "Did you just kiss me? That was a kiss, right?"

Hathor nodded and smiled shyly. "I did; it was." Her gaze drifted to the small fire, not sure what else to do. Tassos was such a silly boy sometimes and a bit stubborn to boot, but she cared for him a great deal. She sighed softly, just hoping he'd understood what she meant by it.

"So now what? What's that supposed to mean?" Tassos scratched his head and looked at her with a lost expression on his face. "You like me enough to kiss me, I think I can deal with that."
Logic was all he had at this point, he hadn't the kind of exposure to have an awkward teenage moment save for his voice cracking more often than not these days. But to him that was more annoying than embarassing.
"Uhhh, what am I supposed to do now?"

"I don't know, Tassos..." Hathor looked over at him. "But, I love you." She didn't understand why she was so worried, it didn't seem like he understood a bit of it, she might has well have said it in some other tongue.
