[His arms happily brought her in, skin singing from the pleasant spark that flit from the touch of her lips to his chest. But perhaps it was only half thanks to chroma. The truth was things like this could have happened back home, too... he knew he'd feel that tingle, that wonderful warmth in his normal body as well.
His tail giving a joyous, content thump against the floor of the nest, he craned his neck and nuzzled her.
I love you.
Would that he could do this in his normal body, speak mind to mind and bring with it a river of emotions that jingled and played alongside the words, like so many harp strings plucked at once. Every time his gaze lingered on her during those days in Inaba, every battle against shadows together, every time he opened his mouth and failed to speak his heart, every quiet, private moment- though rare, thanks in part to Rise (as well-meaning as she was)- back home and now here on this wild alien planet... they were all moments he would treasure, moments he'd never forget.

And he was always ready to make more.]
