Once they'd arrived Catori turned in a circle a few times, pulling the bedding up to nearly make a nest of it large enough for the two of them. "Here," She said with a smile as she looked up to him, waiting for him to settle against her. She wanted to be the big spoon despite her usually curling up beside Grayday instead. She took to preening and grooming him, listening to his thoughts as he spoke. "That, my dear, is a long journey." She admitted. "But I think they'd enjoy you. And Chelan would love knowing I've tricked someone stable into my affections." She said with a laugh. She was careful as she cleaned his face, making sure that she didn't hurt him in the process. "How is your pain?" She could go full on nursemaid - scale of one to ten, what face would you pick for how you're feeling? 

"See - don't think I didn't remember when we met. I knew you'd trick me into caring for you more." She said warmly, nuzzling against him again. No, having his vision cut down earlier than she'd ever considered possible wasn't going to make her run off. She still had her good humor and she still would be right next to him regardless of how things went. "You probably have some fantasy of having someone taking care of you." She kissed right on his snout then, still smiling. No - the sun would shine on them just the same as it had a week ago. Even if she was drawing the picture in his head of how the colors looked.
