She smiled and purred, enjoying the way he touched her. Sophia turned her head a bit to look at her. "Mmmm, you're right, it doesn't matter at all." The raven-haired neko leaned back against him, purring softly. "Is there a reason you're being so nice to me?" she asked softly. "Or am I just lucky to have you?"

"Could be a little bit of both, to be quite honest." Nathan answered as he continued rubbing her shoulders while listening to her purrs. "Then again, my reason for being so nice to you is just because. So there." He added teasingly before sticking his tounge out at Sophia.

"Careful. If you keep sticking your tongue out at me I'll expect you to use it," she said with a little wink. She let her tail curl around his waist and continued to lean against him. "Not that you wouldn't enjoy it." Sophia smiled at him and nuzzled her face to his. "So, then, did you miss me?"

"I may be forced to do so if you keep that up, little missy." Nathan fired back with a tease of his own before he winked at her as he felt her face nuzzling his own and her tail curling around his waist. "And yes, I did miss you. More importantly, I was wondering what you were up to once we got back into our tents." He added, kissing her cheek.

She smiled and kissed his cheek softly, feeling particularly affectionate. It might have been the satisfaction of two major cravings under her belt, but she was warming rather quickly to the man who held her. "I really wasn't doing that much," she said. "Just playing a little cat's cradle, thinking about taking a shower. But then I thought you might be lonely, so I came to visit you first."

"You know, I was thinking the same thing at one point. Besides working that hard out there got me a little sweaty, I think." Nathan answered as he continued to hold the female neko against him. "But then I figured I might as well stick around and see if you'd drop by." He added, shrugging slightly while aiming his hues of dark brown into her silvery ones.

"Well you know, we could take a shower together," she said. "But we might have to go with separate stalls," she said with a giggle.

(gah, sorry)

(Nah, don't worry about it. ^ ^)

"Aww." Nathan answered, pretending to be disappointed. "But that means we won't get to have fun together." He added, his ears drooping slightly as he spoke while continuing to rub her shoulders.

She purred a bit more as he rubbed at her shoulders. "Well, I might be persuaded to change that opinion," she said with a chuckle. "You really are cute, you know?" She ran her fingers through his hair and rested against him once more. "Thank you for taking such good care of me."

"I'm happy to have been there for you when you needed me, Sophia." Nathan answered with a smile as his ears perked back up. "And perhaps I might take you up on that, too." He added, smiling a little more as his hands went up to her neck and rubbed it slowly.

She purred softly as he rubbed at her neck. "Hmmm....the dilemma now is whether or not to shower immediately. Those hands feel really good." Her silver orbs closed and she completely relaxed, leaning against him. "If you keep this up, I'll be in all kinds of debt."

"We can, if you'd like. Besides, having you this close to me is starting to feel rather good right now." Nathan admitted as he felt Sophia lean against him a little more and smiled at her.

She smiled at him and pulled away from him. "Let's take a shower then. I'm starting to feel smelling." Sophia turned around and stood up. "I'll be back in a bit. I need my shower things."

"Take your time, then. I'll be here. And if you need me, just gimme a yell." Nathan answered as he watched Sophia pull away from him before laying back. "Then again, I should probably gather a few things, as well." He added after a little bit of thought as he also stood up and began searching around through his bag for his shower things.

A moment later, Sophia was back in her tent, happy to know that she was wanted elsewhere as well. She took a few garments from her trunk and took a clean towel and her shower caddy. Then she was back at his tent's entrance in a flash. "Are you ready?" she called, peaking inside his tent.
