Wagging his tail would have indicated that he was happy. That sort of thing often indicated a degree of happiness. There were animals like white-tail deer that wagged their tail to indicate aggression. In Nanook's case, though, it would merely have been an admission of how much he had got pleased with their relationship. He had really come to appreciate it after all.<br/><br/>Eventually he looked back at her and sighed. The sigh itself sounded more like an animal's noise than anything else he had done thus far. After all, he had apparently been letting down all of his guards. No longer did he feel the need to hide anything from her. It was all good right now. Over time he would have gotten even more comfortable as she did the same.<br/><br/>Marissa was an animal too, now, and she was going to have to fully embrace that fact. Bad feelings were going to stave off any of this sort of personal exploration for the time being. While he was no mind reader, he did think that saying one thing would help out. It was honest, and while she hadn't said so, it probably would have indeed have helped her out.<br/><br/>"You bring me a sense of stability. I appreciate that, and I love you. So few of my kind are still around me here. Humans these days think of us as legends, so I'm glad that you're with us." Nanook then laughed and decided to make fun of the situation as well, since he felt like he was in a good enough mood to do so. "Yeah, actually, you know what? There's only one problem I have with you. Your taste in music isn't hardcore enough yet."<br/><br/>Stroking his chin, he offered her a little kiss before leaning back up. He wasn't at all sure what he was going to do when it came to that one. It got meant as a joke, but it did seem she liked too much sweet music. Oh well, there was plenty of time to teach those sorts of lessons later on too.<br/><br/>It actually seemed, though, that she was reflecting on some more serious things for the time being. Nanook did realize that his taste in music wasn't the most important thing around. It was just close to it. The vacation then came up in the conversation again and he actually patted her head. An idea had come to him in the process.<br/><br/>"You know what, you take a nap and I'll make some travel arrangements...does that sound good to you? It sounds pretty good to me. Is there any particular type of place that you would like to stay in?" He thought that his own preferences wouldn't really suit her. She hadn't become that much of a werewolf yet. She would have in time, though.<br/><br/>It had certainly sounded like a good idea to him. Nanook was really looking forward to this vacation. He wouldn't have made her stick around in a cave, though. Well, at least he wouldn't have tried something like that just yet. In time she might very well have come to like it.<br/><br/>Provided that she actually did decide to rest, he would have laid down and continued to stroke her head, kissing her temple in the process. Nanook wouldn't have actually decided to totally leave until she was completely asleep. Even then, he would only have gone far enough that the sound of him talking on the telephone wouldn't have caused problems. He wanted her to rest well after all.
