Shadewood tap your toes and clap your hands

the moment he felt alyx's nose brush against him, valravn felt a tidal wave rise to life against his breast. his heart was pumping heavy and fast - he could feel it pounding all the way up in his ears. he was blushing so badly heat simmered off of his dark face, his tail for a moment still as he made sense of what had just happened;

and then, she kissed him back --his eyes widened and mouth slacked in a wide grin, a buzzing nervousness taking hold of him in that tiny tunnel. blushing wildly, valravn threw his tentative shyness away and playfully licked her back. he didn't know what he was doing, or really what it all meant -- but all that mattered was it felt right, and he liked the way his heart was aflutter and the weird buzzing of his blood.

val's temerity aside, he didn't know how to channel his excitement. he went to turn around excitedly and managed to bash his head right on the tunnel's rounding edges. "oof." he muttered, suddenly brought back to earth by the sharp ring of pain on his forehead.
