When she spoke his name, his breath lightened quite a bit and he felt some relief, collapsing beside her. Pushing his head into her neck. "I just missed you. . ." his lyrics came out raspy and low; nuzzling into her soft white fur. Yes, he was high and no, he still didn't know if she was really here but she talked to him and that was enough for him. When she asked why he was here, he didn't know how to answer right away thus staying quiet, his cranium pushed against her fur along her neck. The water pooling up to their paws here and there, he inhaled her scent, breathing in her sweet aroma as much as he could.

Of course when he finally did know how to respond, he brought his muzzle close to her ear, running his wet tongue along the edge and then speaking into it I'm here because of you, Artemis, I'm here because I couldn't stay away and you stopped visiting. the lyrics slipped from his maw as he spoke into her ear, pushing his side into her and taking in her aroma still. Of course he had to as much as possible because he didn't know if this would be the last time they saw each other or not. The brute was completely afraid that she would leave again but of course, he wouldn't show it, there was no way he would. He had to be strong to show her he cared, he couldn't let her see he was weak. Albeit he's romantic but definitely a bad boy and to "masculine" to show her a much softer side of him that he hadn't actually shown anybody

If he were in his homeland, he would own the place, but this place was foreign to him. The only thing he knew was Artemis, and even then, he wasn't sure if she even really wanted him. Which in turn that hurt him, but he would also understand. He was always after a new femme fatal, something to do, a new piece of meat - if you would - to go after. But here, here he'd come to go after Artemis, to eventually make her his completely. Eventually he would have his mark on her, maybe not today, but eventually. Even in his very high state where the colors mingled with the sounds.
