Great Bear Wilderness [m] forty-eight hours feels so much longer

Fox continued to preen her lover's throat and neck, biting and straightening out the tangled fur. She went between this and licking the fur, trying to make the most out of the short grooming session. It was an affectionate gesture, one she had repeated with friends and family throughout her lifetime. And yet... it was decidedly different with Starling. There was even a difference between her and Peregrine. Perry was all muscle and gruff, while Starling was soft and inviting.

But not all encounters had to be as much, just because she thought of Starling in one way. Without warning, Fox kicked her legs to the side and yanked hard on Starling's neck with her front legs, intending to pull the darker girl over. A low, playful growl accompanied her actions. If she wanted a game of dominance, Fox could play at that.
