(( not the most extensive post, just a little something indicating that Celrie is all for resting here as apposed to taking the long way around. ))<br/><br/>While it had pained Celrie to have to step away form Acrea, to release her embrace, and the cozy warmth of being snuggled up against her. She was pleased that she could help in other ways, mainly by dealing with the duchess, leaving Arcea to enjoy her meal in relative peace, rather than hastily gulping it down in order to form a rebuttal in her own defense, and judging by the way the duchess responded, it seemed Celrie had made the right decision... besides Arcea could always pay her back later, which in and of itself was worth the time spent away from her side as she'd enjoyed her meal. As after all, Celrie had at least gotten to sneak the vaguest of peeks at what Julie-Ann had been seeing, had been able to tease and taunt, rub and squeeze, and most of all, to hold Arcea close as she'd snuggled back against her.<br/><br/>Celrie smiles kindly upon Glana as her tone changes after hearing all that Celrie had to say. She perking her pointed ears as she listens to all that she had to say, deterring her attention only to wrap an arm around Alexis to draw her into a little half hug as the wolfess had come to her side. Celrie shoots her an appreciative little smile, pleased that she'd taken the liberty to include Arcea in her defense.  Once Glana had finished speaking, Celrie nods once more in agreement "I think resting here while they clear the tracks would be best...as I myself could certainly use the warmth and relaxation, and after all I want to be looking my best when we finally arrive, no sense rushing or stressing ourselves any further than this battle has already done for us." she explains stepping back to give Arcea's now full tummy a little pat. "And some of us need time to work off our meals." she teases, giggling cutely before taking the catgirl's hand in hers and tugging lightly toward the train.<br/><br/>Though she was sad that she'd not been able to fully appreciate the rest of Julie-Ann's body disappearing into Arcea, she was happy that things with the Duchess where sorted, and that they'd not have to rush and strain themselves in taking some alternate path. Relaxing by the feline's side sounded like a lovely alternative, and she'd have plenty of time, to rub, snug and tease to make up for the missed spectacle of Julie-Ann's consumption. "Was she yummy? I hope you enjoyed your meal while I calmed Glana" Celrie whispers into Arcea's ear. pausing only to giggle softly and place a small kiss upon the catgirl's cheek, almost as if to say 'you owe me'
