Twixxel

*mumbles in sleep* Twixxel... *smiles dreamily*

*purrs softly in sleep* Fatimah...

*makes a soft happy noise* mm... twixxel... *breathing slows as she drifts off*

*holds her close, purring softly*

*shifts slightly in sleep, nuzzling into his warmth*

*watches him with a soft smile* you're adorable when you're excited

*tail curls, ears drooping slightly* A-adorable...? *turns away quickly, purring louder* I-I'll just... get the stew started. *hurries to the furnace, wings trembling happily*

*giggles softly* you are though! *gets up to follow him*

*growls at his happyness* ỲÔÛ ŚĤÔÛL·LƊ ƁÊ ÆẞḤÂMƐĐ!!

*ears flatten slightly* Why? *genuine confusion*

*snarls* Ỹøû ẃêák. Ýôû ĶŅøŴ Į ¢åÑ śłåŸ ŷøû. Ẏët ỸôÛ doñ'Ţ ƑŁ€€.!

*He gently lifts her chin, his white eyes soft and concerned.* Hey... look at me. Whatever you are, it doesn't change a thing. *His thumb gently brushes another tear from her cheek.*

*She sniffles, looking into his eyes* I'm a Deviling and a Siren... *She whispers, her voice trembling* I was afraid you'd be scared of me...

*He blinks, a soft, relieved laugh escaping him. He pulls her into a tight hug, burying his face in her shoulder.* Scared? Of you? *He shakes his head, his purr rumbling to life.* Never, Lil. You're my world.

*ears twitch, detecting sounds from the cave* Can't wait to see all that diamond ore! *steps closer, eyes already adjusting to the darkness*

*notices his eyes changing* whoa, you can see in the dark?

*nods* Yeah, voidling trait!

*sighs in relief* good... my feet are starting to hurt *squeezes his hand*

*stops, crouching down* Come on. *purrs* Hop on my back.

*bites lip nervously* a-are you sure? *slowly climbs onto his back* o-okay...
