"Thank you, Avery." Skull purrs, looking her in the eyes and bowing his head in respect, "Come, Blades. We are going to hunt for the kits."
Blades trots over and bows her head to Avery, she then follows Skull into the green forest. She smiles and lets her claws dig into the soft mossy ground. The wind whips her black mane into dark shadowy swirls. She looks over at Skull, who seems to be enjoying it just as much. After a few hours of hunting, they had a good pile of fresh kill and they sat and watched the sunset as it washed the sky a brilliant orange hue. Blades looks at Skull shyly. Her fringe blowing in her eyes. Their eyes meet and she smiles sheepishly. Suddenly, she springs forwards and pins him down in a pile of leaves, he laughs and pounces back, soon they are play fighting like kittens in the summer. She pins him again and their eyes meet once more. He looks embarrassed and tries to move, but she plants her paws harder on his shoulders.
"No, you're not ruining it this time..." She laughs.
Their muzzles meet. Nose-to-nose, they lie, happy to be free and alone for this special moment. After a few minutes, they separate and get up. They walk together in silence until they reach the clan.
Blades heads off to put the kill for the kits, while Skull walks over to Avery.
"Avery...What are the rituals of partnership here?" He asks. He coughs shyly, feeling stupid but sure at the same time. He knows that Blades is the right one now.
