Inexplicable relief washes over him at Midar's agreement, and he releases a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. He pauses a moment as an unbidden smile curves his lips, returning to his grooming with a little more enthusiasm. He's far too tired and raw to question the strength of his emotions now. Maybe later, when he doesn't feel like he's been dragged several miles through the dirt, he'll wonder what has come over him, why he feels such a strong need to be in his lover's company. For now, though, he's content to express his affection as long as Midar will allow, slowly working his way down through the other's fur with every intention of continuing his journey into far less chaste territory. He really just can't help himself.
