Feeling Rahina’s warm body against his own, Kopa started to relax little by little. Being next to his mate and having her soft fur against his own, it was always enough to chase away the worries of the day for him. Resting his head behind his mate’s, licking sensually behind her ear as his ears perked up to hear her speak of something, only to change her mind moments later. Assuming that his beloved lioness had something on her mind, but knowing that she wasn’t always the most open with her feelings, Kopa murmured quietly into her ear as his fore legs gently cradled his one and only love in life.
”Something wrong Hina? You know you can talk to me about anything my precious. If you’re worried about us staying here, we don’t have to. We can leave anytime you want to. If you’re worried about us being accepted into this pride, I don’t think you have to worry about that either Hina. Everyone we’ve met seems pretty friendly and open to new faces so I think it’s just a matter of time before we find our place here, assuming you want to stay of course my precious.”
Having no clue of his mate’s true worries, Kopa stayed quiet, allowing his mate to speak her mind if she wished, but not expecting her to open up completely, as was her typical nature. The best thing he could do in this situation was just be patient and to continue to let her know that he was, and always would be there for her. In Kopa’s mind, actions always spoke louder than words and while he waited for a reply from his beloved lioness, Kopa’s paws gently massaged Rahina in her favorite spots as his tongue gently licked over his mate’s sensitive neck fur.
