Ma'tanza started to laugh. "A cat? Well, this one has a cat [i]and[/i] a dog all in one." She responded. For a while, they lay together in one another's embrace, exchanging hugs, kisses, and other shows of affection. As they could not simply lay there in the cave the rest of the night, however, they did need to figure out something to do next. 

"Well, we could go find the others if you want. Or maybe just look around the stronghold and learn our way around? We could try to meet new people in the new clan, or just sit down in that beautiful garden. Or go find a good place to take a bath. Ma'tanza knows she needs one." She suggested. As she was throwing out suggestions, however, she seemed to notice something, causing a strange expression to come over her face. She could feel his physical desires, which caused her noticeable embarrassment. She sat up onto her knees and looked him over while rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly. "Oh, um...sorry."

Ri'vashi simply shook her head as she closed her eyes. It took a few minutes, but she did eventually manage to shift back to her Cathay form. Standing back to her feet, she walked over to Gallus while stretching out her freshly-transformed muscles. "Ri'vashi will likely have another when she can first have a fight. She should be satisfied for now."

Pausing for a moment, Ri'vashi looked over Gallus quickly, then smiled. "This one would like to thank you, Gallus. She appreciates your advice, and that you took a few minutes to help relieve her of her frustrations. Mostly, though, she finds it helpful to have outside opinions. Fresh perspectives. Seeing as you are new in this clan, is there anything Ri'vashi could do to return the favor?"
