I close my eyes when Ryss's lips touch my skin and her words wash over my soul, over my heart. A small smile tugs at my lips and I lean into her this time, not out of unsteadiness but because I love the way she feels against me. Her warmth mingling with my own. "Thank you." I say softly, my lips touching her cheek. Tycho, his warmth and scent bathe me on my other side and I turn to him, pressing my lips gently to the spot where his head and his neck meet. I rest it in that hollow for just a moment before I pull away.
Tycho doesn't much care for touch but after being exposed to it for a little while...he was slowly allowing a little more of it from his family. This was good, because sometimes I wanted to just wrap him up in a full body embrace...but we aren't quite there yet. I smile a small half-smile at him before Halo's small fuzzy body is barreling into my chest.
I cuddle her next to me and smile when I start to purr. "Perhaps we can figure out a way to give you a purr, kitten." I say, knowing the look she gives me. "Lots of trouble to be had." I say with a wink and then a small laugh when she kisses Tycho. I tug her fuzzy forelock. It's still hard for me to be so open but I say it anyways. "Love you kitten." Before she is bounding back to her Dads. A smile turns my lips again and I press my face into Ryss' neck.
I can feel the magic practically boiling under my skin still, like a high fever that almost makes my skin too hot to the touch. I won't let it allow to hurt them so I manage to cool my body down some with some ice/water magic and adjust my magic so that it keeps my body at a normal temperature, even with the fire burning in my veins.
Magic did have a price. I am dreading when it does finally come to collect.
