Jade Fern Grove Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness

At first, he wondered if Alarian would join him at all, unsure what his hesitation meant. Maybe the beast had scared him with his strange memory episode and responding panic attack. Maybe he though he was too much to put up with. But his worries were soon forgotten as the other man got to his feet and eventually curled himself up beside Midar. He felt the spreading of the warmth too, and it soothed the emotional turmoil inside just a little--enough that some of the tension left his body. His companion's words seemed to mimic the way he was feeling; it was like now that he was here, sharing is heat with Midar, it felt like it should always be that way. It was kind of scary, but also comforting, and he offered a few soft licks to his Alarian's ear in return. He paused briefly to add, I...missed you, quietly and somewhat hesitantly before applying more gentle licks to the other man's ear.
