As he was scratched behind the ear, Tzirret twisted his head and closed one eye, trying to angle Ma'tanza's hand to a sweet spot. The combination of a hug and a scratch on the belly made Tzirret groan and open his mouth, before rolling lazily onto his back with Ma'tanza on top of him.

It was relaxing to be treated as such, even if Tzirret hadn't hunted in a while. He opened his mouth futher in a wide yawn, showing off all of his teeth. Ma'tanza was lifted up slightly on Tzirret's chest as he inhaled, but lowered just as quickly. He then brought his arms around Ma'tanza again and held her closely for another minute. It was likely nice and warm up against him.

After another minute, Tzirret began to shrink and shift back to Khajiit form with Ma'tanza still on top of him, but he didn't mind. He just grinned, laughing a little bit as if he had been laughing more in his beast form. He looked into Ma'tanza's eyes and murmured through his teeth, "If Tzirret has to be a pet wolf, Ma'tanza has to be a pet lion. Tzirret always wanted a cat." It was barely a few seconds before he held Ma'tanza close again and resumed kissing her.

Whenever they finally pulled away, however long that took in the quiet sandy cavern outside of the gate, Tzirret brought a hand up to run a thumb down Ma'tanza's neck and shoulder and looked at it with less sureness. "Um...so, what should we do now?"

With their bodies pressed against one another, Ma'tanza could easily detect Tzirret's physical desires, but Tzirret did not want to push that option. Not only for Ma'tanza's comfort, but for the fact that he did not think to get those potions that Gallus taught him about. He would be fine whether they would separate there for the night or not. But, if they were to part ways, for whatever reason, Tzirret knew he could only do so reluctantly.

"Is that so?" Gallus said through a laugh, "And here I thought that was just a myth. Well, huh, another trick for the books then." His laughter calming, Gallus brought a finger up to scratch his head, "Though, I can't say I would have tried it in that form. It sounds like it would be rather...violent."

Gallus shook his head to purge the thought. It was probably not something he would employ unless he either had to or became too curious. He instead strode over to the meat cabinet and turned to Ri'vashi as she meditated. "Do you need another scamp, or are you satisfied for now?"
