Malzahar shrugged. "I could probably track them down, if you so wish. It won't be that hard...Or we can start our own little journey. I can show you all the wonders I promised." He sensed her slight disappointment, and he kissed the top of her head. "Its up to you Sani. I'll do whatever you wish of me...As long as I'm with you." His tail flicked nervously as he swallowed.
Saniyah Punjab snuggled her face to Malzahar's chest. "I...I don't know, I don't think I should bother them anymore." Her ears perked up at the sound of the wonders and she tilted her head. "Really? That sounds fun." She purred at her head was kissed and blushed beneath her fur. "Thank you...How about you decide? I usually just go with my instincts, not make decisions," she stated with her roaring laugh, though quieter.
Malzahar stretched slightly before placing a hand on the back of her head, holding her close. "The caverns...they aren't too far away. I remember being in this area once. I found a cave that eventually turned from limestone to a pink ruby. The entire cave. It was beautiful really. How about we go there first?" He suggested this because he couldn't really think of anywhere better at the moment.
Saniyah Punjab closed her eyes and purrs softly, giving a slight nod. "It sounds beautiful...Let's go there, then," she stated. "I've never seen pink ruby before...I wonder if it's very shiny..." she mumbled to herself, trying to envision it, but failing. She gave up and hugged him tight before pulling back slowly and moving to stand.
Malzahar stood pretty quickly, almost whimpering when she pulled from his grasp. "If you are hungry, they left us some meat behind. I only eat once a day so I'll be good until tomorrow." He stated, slowly attaching his armor to his person. "Its a bit of a walk...we can run again, if you so wish." He grinned and gave her tail a very gentle, playful yank.
Saniyah Punjab nodded slightly and moved to the meat, nibbling on a chunk and quickly swallowing a bit of it. "I should be okay 'til tomorrow, too, now. I'm pretty full," she stated with a slight laugh, moving back to him. She smiled happily and laughed, louder this time. "Of course! I love to run, it makes me feel good after eating so much!" she stated. She let out a small cry as her tail was yanked and batted it at his hand in retaliation with a smile.
Malzahar grinned and hugged her from behind, nuzzling into the back of her neck. "I meant it you know. I love you Saniyah. Just wanted to make sure you knew...again." He hissed and let go, giving her tail another pull before jumping out the cave, laughing as he rolled into the sand.
Saniyah Punjab purred loudly and hugged Malzahar's arms with a smile. She cried out again and moved to the entrance of the cave. "And I just thought you were food dazed!" she called after him before jumping after him, landing on all fours easily before straightening up. "You didn't even give me a chance to say it back!" she stated before pouncing at him. "So...which direction?"
Malzahar turned and caught her, but because of the unstable ground, he fell backwards, holding her tightly as he did. "Mmmm...Sorry...But at least now I know that you feel the same." He blushed under his scales. "Its east. Really far east...And if you want...you can say it anyway. Just so I hear you." He smiled up at her, his heart thumping in his chest.
Saniyah Punjab snuggled close and nodded. "East? Okay," she stated before moving so that she was eye to eye with Malzahar. She smiled and laughed slightly. "Oh, you really need to hear it?" she teased, her tail swaying behind her and ears twitched up. "I. Love. You," she stated, emphasizing each word and saying them slowly and clearly. "There," she added with a soft smile.
Saniyah Punjab tilted her head slightly and nudged Malzahar with her nose. "Hey...You still in there?" she questioned, still smiling softly. She gazed back at him for a moment before pressing a hand to her forehead. "Oh, no...I did something wrong, right?" she asked, closing one eye. "Sorry..."
Malzahar shook his head, place his finger on her lips then his own. He did it again, a little life returning to his eyes as he held her hands in his. "We aren't going anywhere yet..." He mumbled, his tail now swishing back and forth in the sand. "Not yet..." Malz hissed playfully.
Saniyah Punjab blinked at his actions and smiled again. She squeezed his hand for a moment and laughed quietly. "We're not? Okay, then," she responded quietly, her own tail still swaying back and forth with a life of it's own. She was happy to just lay there for now...She couldn't remember when she had felt so safe and at peace, willing to stay still for so long...
Malzahar nodded and really didn't know what to do. He merely just wanted to look at her. Hold his love in his arms. He wondered if he could get away with pulling her tail again...With his playful, youthful side finally breaking free of its life long oppression, he couldn't help but pet her tail soothingly, before yanking on it once more, while simultaneously nuzzling her neck.
Saniyah Punjab purred as her tail was petted, stilling it long enough for him to be able to. She let out another small cry as it was yanked and pouted slightly, letting her tail bat at him again. She laughed quietly when she realized her neck was being nuzzled and purred a bit louder, smiling wider, too. "You're so nice..." she mumbled quietly, closing her eyes for a moment.
Malzahar nipped at her neck playfully, no longer abusing her tail, merely petting it again. "Only because you have brought out the better side of me..." He kissed her neck and held her close, slowly pulling back to stare into her eyes again. "Mmm...You are such a wonderful kitten."
Saniyah Punjab squirmed slightly at her neck was nipped at and let her tail stay in Malzahar's hand, keeping it from twitching about too bad. "Really? I like this side of you a lot," she stated, blushing beneath her fur again. She blinked her eyes open when she felt him pulling away the slightest bit and smiled. "Thank you, but I'm not a cub anymore," she stated teasingly.
Malzahar gave her a quick look over and grinned. "I know. I can tell, actually." He smirked and pressed his lips to hers, this time a little less innocently, keeping his arms around her waist, firm but gentle. His mind was ablaze with all these new feelings and he couldn't really stop yet. Not that he wanted to.
Saniyah Punjab blinked a few times and blushed again, looking to the side. "Hey, that's no-" she began to protest weakly before she blinked just once as she was kissed before closing her eyes and kissing back softly. She shook her head and pulled back after a moment, still blushing. Her head was spinning and her stomach felt like it was flipping it around...But that was good, right?
Maximillian Rusconi smiled as a beautiful elf with long silver hair approached them, smiling. She looked 20, but Max knew her real age... The elf hugged him motherly, "Welcome back, Max... and who might your friend be?" Max smiled as he returned the hug, "It is Naoki..." The elf ended the hug and proceeded to hug the cat Altaian, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Naoki."
Naoki stiffened and blinked past the elf. "Um...Hi..." he said, feeling slightly awkward being hugged by a random stranger. He patted the elf on the back, trying to signal for her to let him go.
Maximillian Rusconi chuckled as he saw Naoki try and end the hug. The elf wasn't offensed at all, as she straightened up, "What brings you back home, Maximillian?" Max nodded, "Before I tell the story, there are two people we had left at a cave, thinking they would catch up with us... Is it possible for you to go and get them?" The elf, smiling, nodded. She asked two fairies to read his mind to find out where the cave was, then they vanished, appearing inside the cave where Sani was.
Saniyah Punjab stirred from her light sleep when she realized two fairies had entered the cave she had been sleeping in peacefully. She looked at Malzahar for a moment, and realizing he was still out like a light, pulled herself into a defensive position. "Who are you?" she questioned, ready to attack, if it would be needed. They didn't seem dangerous, though...
