Kanji remained still, her ears tilted back, awaiting news.
She worried for Kestrel. She had heard nothing...but then again, as a young kit Kestrel had been attacked by a hawk. The bird had nearly carried her away, and left deep claw marks in her shoulders. She had made no sound then, either. In fact, she had walked all the way home and spoke with Kanji for several minutes before collapsing of blood loss. Kestrel could be fiercely independant, and rarely let on to her pain.
Kestrel's eyes fluttered open and focused swiftly on Chasm.
"Chasm." she meowed simply, twitching one paw.
She blinked, and everything grew clearer. "Dammit," she growled. She rarely cursed unless it was in the heat, but she was not always a clean-mouthed, elegantly-speaking cat.
She rolled over and managed to get her paws beneath her. "I'm fine," she said shortly. "Just a little bit banged up."
She stood, blinking quickly. "Dammit. Hurts like hell, but I don't believe I hurt anything severely." Her voice grew more normal at the end, lost the rasping quality in favor of the clearer, more agile, dusky tones she usually used.
Her eyes softened slightly. "I'm fine, Chasm. But I'm touched by your concern."

Wait...did I start dreaming again?
If cats could blush, Chasm was. He gulped down a string of questions and simply stared at Kestrel, rather wide-eyed. Yet again, he had no idea what to say. |

Kestrel looked unabashedly right back, smiling; not her usual half-smile but a real one.
Moving very suddenly, the slim she-cat stepped forward and rasped her tongue across chasm's cheek affectionately before turning and padding up the hill...slowly and more carefully this time.

This has to be a dream...
Chasm stood rigidly as Kestrel came up to him, but then she did something he could never have expected. The feel of her warm tongue against his cheek was so...divine. Gray orbs were shut with black lids, taking in the truest of pleasure. When she pulled away, he had to fight the urge to call her back, to ask her to do it again. His paws felt like they might just topple out from under him and his heart was a warm throb in a cocoon of intense feeling.
What did this mean...? Why had she done that? Were things between them...different now? Chasm considered all of this as he padded up to join her on the hill. He placed his ebony tail across Kanji's delicate shoulders and began to lead her onward again. Chasm didn't know exactly what had just happend...but when she was that close to him, he had been flying... |

Kestrel watched Chasm for a moment, thoughtful and maybe a trifle bemused, then moved to walk directly beside him.
She could think of nothing to say. She was rather lacking in this area of life, you see.

An amazing...feeling...
Chasm wanted to laugh. This was probably the first time that Kestrel had ever been speechless, when it happened to him more often than not. He sidled up against her a few times, playfully nudging her and smiling all the way back to their home. |
