Moonspear music sounds better with you

Nikai waited patiently at the borders, hoping that Alya herself would come to greet him and not some of her family first. He fidgetted a little, feeling nervous, but as soon as he noticed someone approach Nikai stilled his nerves, at least on the outside. He couldn't really tell which of the three sisters he was facing, although he guessed it wasn't Lyra, at the very least, for she was more shy as far as he could tell from their first meeting. As she neared he was pretty sure it must be Alya, for she had been the one most interested in him and he had called for her specifically.

His tail wagged a few beats as she approached with celebrity-like grace, his eyes shining with enthusiasm as he watched her. She looked even prettier than he remembered with the way she walked and the smoothness and softness of her fur. Nikai wasn't sure if he should reach out to bump her shoulder or cheek or anywhere as she approached but he decided in the end not to reach out at all; he'd come here, which was sign enough that he liked her well enough. "Hi!" he said, not directly responding to what she had said, a soft smile on his face. "Yeah, uh, I... I thought you might want to hang out sometime, you know... Do something with just the two of us." This wasn't going as well as he had hoped so far, as Nikai felt flustered and he was falling over his words, but he wasn't showing being uncomfortable; probably because he wasn't, because despite falling over his words and possibly his own paws should he be forced to move at this point, he was feeling quite happy.
