Upon leaving the bathroom Tyger goes straight to the bed and positions himself directly in the middle of the massive bed. He leans back against the pillows and puts his hands behind his head lacing his fingers together. He closes his eyes and for the first time in his life he thinks about his future with a real possibility finding the home he really wants. If the people of Terra’s world are more accepting then those of his he can see himself being happy throughout her life time anyway. He even wonders if he can and if she will accept him passing on his curse to her, simply to stop the aging process as it had done for him at age 27. He pushes that thought back deciding he would wait several years to even bring the subject up to her. Then again she has another form as well and maybe she will live much longer the normal humans on her own. Oh yes he can see himself happily spending centuries sharing a life with her. That thought puts a blissful smile on his face.<br/><br/>Opening his eyes when hearing the bathroom door open Tyger audibly gasps as Terra’s beauty in the gown he had selected for her takes his breath away. While the blissful expression remains on his face the approval from before returns with a hint of lust mixed in. He listens as she says his reasons for staying are more honorable than her own. He shrugs not really seeing his reasons as honorable but simply logical. “What have I got to return to? Nothing. I have fought alongside Giselle before and consider her a friend. I cannot abandon a friend if I can help. If I’m going to help rescue one hostage, why not rescue the other as well. I stayed to help two people. You stayed to help an entire world. This is a gladiatorial competition we both are going to be causing more violence primarily for the entertainment of others.”<br/><br/>When Terra finally joins him on the bed but does not return to his arms Tyger is mildly disappointed but does not let it show. He slides down on the bed a little and rolls on to his side propping his head on his hand so he can more easily look at her. “I’m glad you appreciate the gown and I very much like the way you look in it. You are by far the most beautiful woman I have ever shared a bed with. It’s alright that you didn’t think to look before showering, it gave me something to do while you were in there.” When she uses her pet name for him and adds the possessive ‘my’ to it his heart skips a beat and his smile becomes broader and his eyes sparkle. He lays back on his back but remains gazing over at her and reaches his arm out towards her. “I like the sound of that, my Terra. For starters you can come over here. I find myself longing to have you in my arms again. If you have more questions than ask them and I will answer. I may come up with questions of my own to ask.” His expressions changes to showing his lust more openly. “If you feel the need to expend some of the energy I have a few thoughts on how it could be used. If you just want to lie still and let slumber take you I will sleep contentedly as well just having you here with me if you are in my arms. It won’t be nearly as contentedly if you remain over there and sleep out of my reach.”
