He closed his eyes as her lips gently brushed against his own, returning the slight kiss before opening his eyes again as she stepped back. He kept his grip on her hand, following her, only half a step behind her. The edges of his vision was turning dark, but he forced himself to move on. Shivers ran down his spine as the cold water bit at him, fighting to drive out the warmth in him. When he felt it stop, he glanced up and looked at her in gratitude, squeezing her hand.
As the stench of town invaded his nose, he scrunched up, huffing softly. He hated the smell of cities, having lived amongst trees for almost his entire life. He continued walking, following the path that she choose, looking around slowly. His feet brushed on the ground, another shake racking through his body. He looked at the building that she came to stop in front of, recognizing it as a hotel.
As she came closer, he released the grip on her hand, wrapping his arms around her waist as her head came to rest. He tilted his head against her, closing his eyes, resting softly against her. He let out a low, rumbling purr at her gentle voice sounding in his ear, holding her slightly tighter, but still gentle, against his body. As she moved, he opened his eyes before closing them again, leaning his cheek into her hand softly. He followed her inside afterwards, looking around the lobby, a hint of edge creeping into his body, once again expecting danger from a potential attack. He didn't want to be surprised.
