(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi wiggles his nose. “Hiya,” he says. “How’s you?”
You page-pose, “Ranna wraps you up in arms and tails, “Good, foxy. How ‘bout you?”” to Rikoshi
(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi hugs back. “I’m good, fuzzer,” he says, squeezing a tad. “Sorry about earlier…”
You page-pose, “Ranna mrrp, “C’mere, foxy?”” to Rikoshi
Ranna tugs tugs you on up and sits you down by him, putting a smooch on whiskers, “You know, it’s really okay, fox.. I was mostly just concerned about being cranky in feedback..”
Ranna eats a ‘tugs’,
Rikoshi leans against your side, looking kinda shy. “You didn’t sound cranky,” he says. “If it’s not a story your comfortable reading, then it sorta naturally follows.”
Ranna leans back a little and tucks his nose in fur, “Mrf.. I shouldn’t read things that only make me comfortable, though…”
Rikoshi says, “One time, one of my fellow writers, who I’d gone back and forth with a few times, wanted critical feedback on a story. About partway through, though, it started to involve sex with like… non-two-legged animals, and I got kinda weirded out. So I was just, ‘I really couldn’t read the second half of the story too closely. Sorry.’ And he understood.”
Ranna nods, “I guess I sounded a little dire.. sorry I got you all worried, foxer..”
Rikoshi says, “Well, no, I’m glad that you said something, hon.”
Ranna mmfs and nuzzles against your cheek, “Okay..” He strokes a finger down along your muzzle and adds, “You’re a good fox, hon.”
Rikoshi closes his eyes when you pet his muzzle like that, and then he licks your hand. “I try,” he says. “But, um… maybe you don’t want to read my ‘Maerchentic’ stuff?”
Ranna keeps his hand still for the lick, then brushes fingers back over whiskers. “I already have, foxo. I didn’t mention it, though, ‘cause it didn’t really.. er.. tweak whatever emotion it was that Sanguine and Clockwork did quite as strongly..”
Rikoshi says, “I mean, ‘Sanguine and Clockwork’ IS a disturbing story, about obsession and lack of self-control, but I didn’t mean for it to be… I dunno, downright unnerving. :/”
Rikoshi says, “I hope that doesn’t reflect poorly on me.”
Ranna flattens ears, “Don’t say that, hon.. Even if it did, you’ve got more than a year of nothing but kindness and beauty to more than cancel that out.”
Rikoshi squeaks, and folds his ears back, looking like he’s all clammed up and unable to find any sort of words for that. So, instead, he just kind of puts his face down near your shoulder and hugs against you.
Ranna mmfs and squeezes you against him, whispering things like ‘fox’ and ‘rrr’.
Rikoshi squeaks again, a little softer. “You’re so nice,” he says back, his tail flitting just once before going still.
Rikoshi meows at the kiss, and kisses back. “I hope you weren’t worried for me too much, fuzzo,” he says. “I mean, I know I probably reacted strongly, but only because I was concerned about you, is all.”
Ranna titters. Foxgoesmeow. “Well.. you know I’m alright, fox? We understand each other, I think?”
Rikoshi says, “I think so. I don’t think you and I have a lot of problem understanding one another, really. Even if I am kinda… shy.”
You yerf, “We’re both shy, I think. Or maybe shy isn’t right, but careful about where and when we say and do things.””
Rikoshi says, “Because we’re so crazy about each other that we’re afraid we might say something silly? ^^”
Ranna laughs, “I think that might be about it, hon…”
Rikoshi smiles. “Okay,” he says, ears all pinkened. “Now I feel lots better, sweetie.”
Ranna hees and tugs you up onto his front, rolling onto his back, “Good. I think we both do.”
Rikoshi wrrrms and squiggles, smiling as he settles atop you. “Gonna kiss you,” he says, before smooching you on the lips. Then he giggles again. “There!”
Ranna ruffles paws down at hips, then up around your back. He submits readily to the smooching and laughs, “Foxykisses are love.”
Rikoshi grins proudly, and says, “I want to eat a WHOLE bunch of Krispy Kreme donuts. Then my kisses will taste like sugar.”
Ranna laughs! “So.. about that saying silly things..”
