After speaking in my sweet tones to the girl before me, I continued to watch with bright, citrine gold irises at her reaction to my presence. The moment her mind seemed to register that it was me, her eyes seemed to narrow slightly before a smile crept across her pale lips. I couldn’t help my own smile as it tugged across my onyx lips; her expressions had always been damn well intoxicating and contagious. And then all at once Euphie was rushing upon me, my muscles and frame tensing for the embrace of impact. But instead, all I felt was a gentle caress to my forehead, a gentle touch against my brow. Opening my eyes slowly, as I had shut them a moment before she was upon me; I found myself gazing fully into Euphies own bright irises, the colour seeming to intensify the more she grew up. I had to admit, those eyes held me captivated for quite a few long moments, before her trademark voice came spilling forth, in the speech I could recall so well.
She wished she had never departed, and I could not help but agree with her there. I myself wish she had never taken her leave, but I could tell she had done some growing up while away and for that I was more then proud of her. After speaking and telling me how she missed me, she once more pressed her touch to me in welcome and I could do nothing but return the touch, nuzzling the top of my muzzle lightly and tenderly along the bottom half of her jaw. I was glad to see Euhpie, especially now of all times. She was something that could take my mind off of anything, and for that I was grateful to her. Watching her closely as she drew away, her tongue lolling out only to roll on her back in that way of hers, I find myself wondering where she has been. What has she been up to, and what had caused her to grow out of the lanky teenager I had once known?
Her smile seems to intensify when she spies my own grin, and this simply fuels my facial muscles to stretch wider and max out their limit; forcing my jaw to ache, though I did not mind. Seemingly finally able to come up with a retort, Euphie gives it; only to basically say the same thing I had greeted her with. With a low chuckle bubbling up from my chest to my throat, only to spill across my lips, I shake my head slowly at the compliment she had pasted at the end, handsome. As if. Though the wink she threw in at the end had my skin heating up slightly beneath my fur, and I avert my bright citrine irises for a moment before turning back to her, not wanting her to see my embarrassment at the compliment she gave. Watching her closely still, I let a rather amused and happy expression cross my features as she wiggles beneath me, watching me intently before reaching up with delicate paws to press her tender pads against my jaw.
I find myself transcending down into a state of lucidity, one where I can finally relax and enjoy myself; until one of the things Euphie states brings me out of my revere. With my eyes widening slightly, I focus once more fiercely on her before remaining quiet and allowing her words to continue. She said she hadn’t stopped thinking of me, and returned because she could not. I kept my facial expression cool and calm, rather unreadable as I took in the rest of her speech. At her last words, I find myself reaching out to nuzzle my muzzle both lightly and tenderly against her jaw, wanting to comfort her with words I could not speak forth. Since hearing her own voice come forth, I finally take it upon myself to speak, yet I only find my tenor voice murmuring one word. “Euphrosyne..” I trailed off quietly as I tried to think of what else to say to her, until finally settling on what I wanted to know the most; “why did you leave? Tell me, please.”
