Franklin was caught a bit off guard by her question. Love? It had been so long since he had felt that emotion that he wasn't sure what it was anymore. "I believe so, but to be honest I don't remember what love feels like. I was arranged to a mate, and I loved her dearly, but then the humans came, they took all of them, my family, my friends, and even her. I've felt nothing but anger since then." Looking back into her eyes once more, he let a faint smile cross his face. "But whatever this is, I don't want it to stop." Laying his head upon her chest, nuzzling against her a bit, he laid beside her, just listening to her breathing for a bit. He didn't want to push it, they had just met after all. He was her guardian tonight wasn't he? Leaning up again, he kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry about all that, I just let myself get carried away." He tried to chuckle a bit, but all that showed was a small smile.
