She smiled and watched him drink. "You have to be more careful, Nathan," she said, her tail swishing. "You need to take more breaks, even if they're not very long." The raven-haired feline scratched behind his ears softly and let her eyes lock onto his. "I worry about you, you know? If you're not careful, really bad things could happen to you. And then, it'll just be me and a few lousy volunteers looking for this thing. And that's not very fun. Besides," she said a little smile pulling on the corners of her lips, "I'd miss you." Sophia place a soft kiss on his cheek and let him continue drinking.

Nathan smiled a little as Sophia once again began to itch behind his ear and sounding much like an overly worried mother. It all sounded cute and all, but maybe she did have a point with taking a few more breaks than he should be in recent days.

"I appreciate your concern, Sophia," Nathan answered with a smile as he looked over to her with the same smile on his face. "But I guess I've been pretty busy ever since I came out this way about several weeks ago." He added, shrugging a little as he spoke.

"And it would suck if I had to leave before we find that thing. Besides, I wouldn't have you to keep me comapny, ya know?" Nathan added as he recieved the kiss from her. At that moment, Nathan decided to return the favor, reaching a hand up to gently itch behind the female's ears then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "If I gotta admit it, then I might as well come out with it. I'm getting a little attached to you ever since I saw you." He said, quirking an eyebrow at her as he spoke.

She purred as he scratched at her ear and as he kissed her forehead. It was nice to see that he wanted to be nice to her too, and then she heard him say he liked her. She blushed a little and smiled at him, her head tilting to the side. "I've gotten to know you a little, and I'm glad you came here. I like your company. Besides, who else would I get to use my cheesy lines on?" Sophia chuckled and watched him. "Really, I like you a lot. I'd be really sad if you had to leave me all by myself," she said, kissing his nose. She really did like Nathan. In the short amount of time she'd known him, he'd proven to be funny, smart, and incredibly dedicated. She only wished that she could be more hopeful.

Nathan gave a small laugh when Sophia kissed his nose then mentioned that she wouldn't have anyone to se her cheesy little lines on. "Well, that's par for the course, y'know." Nathan answered simply, laughing a little again. "But, at least now, we got our confessions out of the way. Any other sins you wanna admit to before I excorsize your wicked soul?" He then asked, laughing some more before smiling at her.

She watched him, that soft smile still on his face. Sophia blinked as he mentioned exorcism. Curiosity got the better of her as she asked, "What do you mean by that?" Her face was just inches from his now, her body leaning toward him. Despite the thin fabric of her digging clothes, she felt very warm in his presence, and her questions and the proximity of their forms was making the rest of the world seem like a wisp, more than anything else. "How would you exorcise me, Nathan?" she asked, one perfectly arched eyebrow raising as her tail swished about.

Nathan chuckled at Sophia's response to this before watching her move a little closer to him so that their bodies were nearly touching each other had they not been clothed in their respective archelogical clothes.

"What did you think I meant by that, Soph?" Nathan asked, winking at her with a smirk on his face. "Besides, you're so beautiful that I could've easily mistaken you for a witch or something like that." He added, shrugging a little as he own tail began to sway from side to side in a slow movement.

"If I knew," she said softly, "I wouldn't have asked." Sophia smiled at his little comment about her being a witch. "Silly boy. I would be a witch's familiar, not a witch." Still, even as she told him, she wondered what it might be like to close the distance between the two of them. What would it feel like to press her lips against his? Still, she stayed where she was, just watching him, wondering what he might say or do. "So how would you go about exorcising me in a place like this? I'm curious."

"Well," Nathan began, closing his eyes in thought before reopening them then looking back at her. "If you really wanna know so bad, I might as well show you instead of telling you." He added, smiling at her softly.

As Nathan continued to gaze up at this lovely looking female, Nathan closed the distance between them a little further, gently placing his lips against hers in the form of a kiss. This however, produced a soft round of purring from his body, channeling the vibrations into her lips as he did so.

As Nathan began to exorcise her, she closed her eyes and kissed him back. As the vibration from his purring reached her soft lips, she felt herself start up as well. Slowly, she deepened the kiss, pulling him a bit closer to her, gently holding his neck, rubbing it softly. If this was what he would do to exorcise her, she would gladly give up her wicked ways. Soon, she found herself purring as well, the vibration staying in her throat. Maybe she should have talked to him sooner.

Not long after Nathan felt Sophia deepen the kiss, Nathan did likewise to return the gesture and his hands slowly swept up to reach her neck and rubbed both sides gently then slid them downwards to stop at about her clothed chest. From there, his hands began to gently massage her chest with the kind of touch that lovers often shared. Come to think of this, Nathan really should've thought about this sooner.

As Nathan's hands started to massage her chest, she purred a bit louder, a quiet moan escaping her. Her body wasn't used to such tenderness. The way he touched her was something that she appreciated. After going for a few months without sex, never mind the weeks she'd been digging in the hellish desert. She craved such a touch, and wished that he would continue. Slowly, her hands slid down his arms to his sides, slowly stroking him, gently massaging as she went. Sophia slowly broke away from his lips and opened her eyes again. "I'm not sure it's working," she said with a little smirk. "I still feel a bit wicked."

Slowly, Nathan broke away from the kiss and grinned at her slightly. "Oh are you?" He teased before playfully kissing her a second time. "Then I guess this calls for a more... Shall we say, 'hands-on'... approach?" Nathan asked with a quirk of his eyebrow and a smirk.

With that being said and without hearing her reply, Nathan slowly turned over, placing Sophia underneath him with his hands still on her chest. From there, his hands contined to massage her chest, but the movements of his hands were slightly deepened this time, making sure to get the full feel of her precious mounds under his hands.

She purred and closed her eyes as he started to press into her breasts. His touch felt wonderful, and she wanted to feel more of it. His hands against her bare flesh was such a tempting thought. Still, she wondered if he wanted to take things quite that far. She pulled him closer to her and kissed him softly, quickly letting him go. "Nope, still wicked," she said with a little grin. Her hands slowly rubbed at his arms. "What's your plan now?" she asked.

"Hmm..." Nathan answered with a lift of an eyebrow and lifting one hand off of her breasts and rested it under her chin and itched it in thought as he gazed down at her. "Then I believe this might call for a more drastic measure, if I say so." He added.

With that, Nathan leaned in and nipped her neck first before whispering into her ear softly. "Unless if you want me to go that far, of course." He added quietly after recieving her quick kiss.

She purred and closed her eyes. "You can take things as far as you want," she whispered, holding him close to her. She shivered as his lips touched her neck. Her hands ran down his back and to his waist, gently rubbing there. "I'll let you take as much as you want, as long as I get it back from you." She smiled and opened her eyes, letting him go. Her body hadn't felt this good in a long time, and she was not going to deny him anything if he wanted it after touching her that way. Sophia smiled up at him and wondered what he was like as a lover. If this was any indication, she was in for a treat.
