While Clover and Fiadh seemed to be cut from the same cloth, Tegan and Lucca were definitely quite different. While Tegan definitely would've had some smart remark instantly, she could tell that Lucca was embarassed. She didn't ant him to feel awkward around her, though, and truth be told, he did make the most of the situation by making a remark that Niamh found to be kind of charming. As bashful as Lucca was, there was still something sweet about his softness that she knew would always be a redeemer for his shyness. 

He smiled at her, but his eyes weren't smiling- they were begging. She'd have to help him out of that position- but how? He was big, and heavy, and in an awkward position. Only he could get himself out of it...So there was only one way to go about removing Lucca from the tree- she needed to give him the spook of a lifetime in order to get him to back himself out of that position completely.

She nodded silently, and moseyed forward, tail swishing from side to side. She gave him a warm, friendly look- perhaps a bit more friendly than she ever had. It was safe to say that the gaze she gave Lucca was much closer to the sort of look she gave Colt- but she ruthlessly directed it straight toward Lucca. "Then you're right where I want you," She said, voice smoothe despite the fact that her heart was beating furiously in her chest. None of this made sense to the logical part of her heart- which wanted nothing to do with this. But Niamh had devised the plan based around logical thinking nonetheless. Lucca was likely too big and heavy for her to move- and she wasn't going to crack or lose another tooth on a branch. Instead, she simply put on her most alluring gaze, softened the tone of her voice to a coo, and knew that the only way to get him out of that position would be to make him get out of it by himself. And nothing, she knew, would spook him like this.

She reached forward, pausing just a moment with her muzzle next to his, before she gave his cheek a kiss- and pulled back just slightly to allow her plan to take effect.
