Raschen could only chuckle as he gently turned her to him, his warm protective paws engulfing her hands. His emerald gaze full of an overwhelming happiness at the soft words she'd spoken to him. He slowly drew his paws form her hands to rest them on her sides, drawing her close to him in their warm embrace, resting the soft end of his muzzle against her silken lips once more. The gesture was more drawn out this time. Given ample opportunity to be enjoyed by both parties. The big cat gently pet her cheek and then down through her hair before both heavy paws rested squarely upon her upper back, holding her close against his tightly wound frame. His embrace was protective, his touch warm and gentle and his lips full of a passion he'd held back from her for far too long.<br/><br/>He chuckled softly, his long tail wrapping about her waist as he tilted her chin up some when the kiss hesitantly parted. "I promise you our mission will not be failed...I would work swifter to complete it so that you and I could wash our hands of the situation." He rested a kiss upon her forehead. "And don't worry...I won't purify you again" He said with a gently laugh, her still embraced warmly against him.
