Arkain sighs and hugs you close to him. He loves having you close to him against his scaly skin. It makes him feel so much better.<br/><br/>He nods. "Thank you dear. So aren't I. I could feel she was slipping away from us, thats why I pushed myself so hard. I couldn't loosing her."He shakes his head. He knew how bad her wounds were and she would have died before she ever made it to the hospital.<br/><br/>Arkain smiles when you bring him closer to you. Then he looks down into your eyes and he can see the deep love you have for him. He looks back with the same deep caring and  love in his eyes opening his heart to you letting you fully see how much he love you. He purrs deeply feeling your soft hands caress his back. His arms wrap around you bringing you very close to him. His hands caress your soft fur.  He leans down and nuzzles you back very affectionately along one side of your muzzle then moving slowly to the other. His whole body vibrates from his purrs of pleasure. He smiles greatly enjoying your sniffs about his muzzle. He grins and rubs noses back with you. He leans into your kiss giving you a very deep affectionate kiss.<br/><br/>At that moment he knew he was in love with her and that there was no doubt in his mind that he wanted her as his mate. He was very confident by that amazing kiss she felt the same way. He whispers softly in ear. "I love you."<br/><br/>Charles catches the kiss out of the corner of his eye. He grins and mutters to himself out loud. "About time." Arkain hears Charles comment and grins. Arkain's sharp ears hear the weak mew. He grins. He wonders if she caught the kiss or her that her sharp ears heard what he said to Anna.  He doesn't look over right away. He is listening to Anna tell him about all the others that have been waiting to see Tam. He nods. "Yes, of course Anna ."<br/><br/>He tells Charles to let the others in and he pulls the curtain back around so everyone can clearly see Tam. He smiles when they all come into the room. The tigress comes over to Arkain first and gives him a warm hug knowing Sal will to see Tam first. She moves closer to Tam and gently holds her hand. "How is she doing?"Arkain smiles. "Shes going to be fine. They expect a fully recovery. She will be in the hospital for several more weeks but after that everything should be fine. " He grins proudly.<br/><br/>Arin, a bunny from the crew at the house comes in with a newspaper. He walks up to Anna and Arkain. "I thought you would like to see this. Its all over the TV and newspaper. Tamara is quite the hero." Arkain looks at you quite surprised and thanks him and takes the paper with big headlines.<br/>"Teenage Tigress Risks Own Life With Daring Rescue To Save Her Fathers and 3 Others From Certain Death."<br/>Arkain shakes his head. He reads about how the newspapers sensationalized how Tam on her own risked her life against the crazed knife wealding zebra. He gasps when he reads about how Ji was trained in a remote para-military camp. The commander said she was one of the best she had ever seen with a knife. That was one very brave girl to take on Ji alone when Ji had two knives. Arkain shakes his head when he hears about Ji's plan blow out the pilot lights in all the kitchen stoves and flood the kitchen with gas then then set off an explosion. They say explosion would have been so powerful it would have easily leveled Arkain's house. Arkain's hands tremble and his knees get a bit weak. Comprehending just then, just how much danger. He moves to a chair and sits down. He hands the paper over towards Charles and Anna. "You two should read this."  Arkain sits there grinning shaking his head in amazement so very proud of his daughter.
