Shenyo embraced her kiss, deepening it and holding her closer. Though her words rang hollow in him. The voice was something he loathed his entire life, yet he felt it was more connected with his state of being than he would like to admit. It doubtlessly has caused countless suffering for him, but how much joy could he attribute to it as well? Was it the sole source of his strength? Partial? None at all? It wasn't clear, and he doubted he would figure it out anytime soon. It ignored all direct questions, offered no help or solutions in regards to their union.<br/><br/>Keeping his lips on hers he slowly stood up, pulling her up with him until she was standing. "We need to get moving again. Get somewhere populated where we can hide for a while and come up with a plan. They'll burn a small village, but not entire cities. They wouldn't risk an entire food supply now would they?" Shenyo said with a smile, seeming to slip into his usual self. "That last one...well that was my fault after all." He added as an afterthought. It seemed as if it were ages ago, but they had only just met hadn't they? Battle and conflict caused people to grow close together, especially when that conflict seems to follow them so closely, so harshly. Who else would have luck like theirs? It was almost as if events were being perpetually drawn towards them.<br/><br/>"Let's get out to a road. If we're quick we can get ahead of them." His hand took her own and squeezed it, while his tail took hold of her hips once more. "Sound like a plan?" There were options for them, as long as they were smart and swift.
