Zii couldn't help but keep smiling. She had to stay positive. This was just one awkward moment in time. "No... No Rowtag... it's okay... it's no big deal." She said simply, smiling softly. She blinked, looking down at her paws. She couldn't blame him really... if he didn't love her... like that... who could-look at her. Any yellow on her and she'd have been born a huria... So white and abnormally pale... it was no wonder.
It made sense now.
"Naw... I'm just a big mouth... "
She looked away, as he moved closer to her. When her had turned back, they were close and she was a bit surprised as he kissed her on her black nose. She chuckled. "Oh Rowtag..."

Luckily his face was already red, or you might have spotted him blushing beneath that fur. He bounced back a little - like a startled pup - and blinked a few times, as if trying to gather himself again. And then he dipped his head, shuffling his paws.
"Big mouth or not." He mumbled. "You're my friend and...well...if you'll be patient with me then...then...I'd like to...to see if we could be more than that."
He lifted his eyes again and realised how silly he must have sounded. If anyone had overheard, he would be in for a real teasing! "You're my...my only true friend here, Zii. I...I don't want to lose that. Ever."
But he knew he would...one day...and the very thought of it almost broke him then and there.

Zii was a fool in some ways. She was fooled by him. Her heart was so intent on seeing him happy and with her and didn't see any warning signs. Didn't see anything that could have held suspicion. Nothing.
"Really... Do you think so?" She asked, looking like she could cry. She sniffled a bit, looking anywhere but at him as she tried to hold back the tears. He would see. That was enough for her. Acceptance... a future.
"I'd like that... I want to be friends forever... if we can."

A tragedy was coming. Just when it would come and how was yet to be seen. But one day the son of Ripuka would return and whether he helped or not, Rowtag was certain that Rap would do all in his power to get him involved.
He nodded, not able to find the words to respond. Instead he drew closer again and hooked his chin over her shoulder, hugging him to her.
And in his head, his thoughts were going wild.
'What have I done? What have I done...?'

Zii smiled at his touch. She leaned into him, her ears pressed against her skull as she grinned. She wanted this, to be against him. To be by his side... but she would wait... she'd wait forever for him. "Will you sleep beside me tonight Rowtag?" She asked quietly. She wanted to feel him against her side, sleeping.
"Just this once..."

He hesitated a moment. So much hesitation! And then, he cleared his throat and nodded slowly. "Okay." He worried about what others might think - what her sister might think. The dark one did not like him at all and he was certain she might bring trouble in the future.
But...he didn't want to be alone and...neither did she.
And...why not make the most of something that might not last? Sleeping at her side might be the last good thing he ever had in his life.

Zii smiled, flopping herself down and offering him her side with a content smile. "Good, cause if you had declined I would have started to cry..." She said with a smile. She flopped her tail over him and waited quietly for him to rest.
"G'night Rowtag!"

He didn't want to see her cry.
Strange how she had changed him so easily...so quickly...
Before he could never have seen himself being happy here. Staying here. But now he had no desire to do anything but remain here in these lands. His childish ideals just weren't strong enough to withstand the truth he had seen in the people living here.
They were good. They were kin.
And yet...those chilish ideals would come to haunt him.
He lay down beside her and with a slightly gruff purr, he let his eyes fall closed.
"Goodnight...Zii."
