The tiny body of the feline pushed herself up to get a better look at his scratches and bites when he fell back. Brown eyes focused on the wounds she had created. Aiko didn't feel bad, though. In all honesty, she felt empowered by it. He still held onto her as if she would float away like a dream. That just made her feel as if she was the only woman in the universe.<br/><br/>Once she was done cleaning the bite marks, Aiko shifted herself to poke at the scratches on his other shoulder. Grinning, she stole a quick kiss on her shift over. There was a focus in her eyes, her tail flickering in the air behind her. She didn't say a word. Not that she really needed to. Aiko was perfectly fine. She was happy, healthy. There wasn't a damn thing he could do to her that would hurt her at this moment. She was also certain he wouldn't do anything anyway.<br/><br/>Eventually, she took to resting her head on his shoulder once she determined her claws didn't do that much. His touches were soothing. The feline just nuzzled her head into his neck, her right hand now resting above his heart. Two fingers stroked his rough skin gently. In her mind, his reply to her quiet words spoke loudly with his motions. What words he did say caused Aiko to shift her head. Brown eyes looked into his with a smile.<br/><br/><span style="color: mediumpurple">"No,"</span>said Aiko, her words calm and delicate.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"You would never intend to hurt me and you shouldn't be afraid of doing it. I love you as the bird does the wind on a bright day."</span>She shifted again, rising her head and using her left arm to support her rising her head as she looked into his eyes.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"And I know you love me the same."</span>
