Bery woke up nude and wrapped in a blanket with her beloved. After a steamy night session, the kitten had been able to fall asleep easily. Blinking open her crusty eyes to Valerie was like a dream. Waking up to someone so mesmerizing would likely be hard for the Kanai'n to get used to. Even now, her heart thumped in her chest.
Valerie opened her vibrant red eyes, yawning, and breathing in the daylight. "Good morning, kitten. I hope you slept well."
"It was hard not to sleep well after you…"
Valerie smiled at the Kanai'ns red cheeks. "There is no need for you to be embarrassed. You are delectable."
"Is it not weird for us to do these things while Emary is suffering?"
Valerie kissed Bery on the lips before shaking her head. "There is nothing weird about it. You don't need to stop your enjoyment of life for one person's suffering. Besides, it's better to show how life continues. Her spirits will return to her when she sees the world still moving."
