It had been a long time since Noah had last laughed in genuineness. He had felt so down since their last fight that laughing was the last thing on his mind, consciously or not. He failed to find the humor in many things, even in the inside jokes him and his sister shared. It was the consequence of falling that hard in mood and staying that low. If he had been in his truer form, Elann would’ve seen the differences in him should she had been perceptive enough or had enough knowledge of how he looked and behaved as an eagle. He missed the feeling and the first chuckles flooded him with feel good emotions.

Elann came down, saying they could try again and she wasn’t going anywhere. Sitting in his lap, facing him, they were immensely close, how he wanted it. His hands came to her body in the dress, setting outside the fabric on her thighs as her hand with through his hair. The curls of his head had turned torrential and wild, taking over whatever tameness he had once managed to accrue when it was last cut. Atop that, the hair on his cheeks, jawline, and chin were coming in. He usually liked to keep himself cleanly shaven, liking the features of his face to be unhidden. He wanted desperately to groom himself, to bathe, at least to wash his face in cold water.

In the moment he was trying to enjoy himself with his bondmate, letting himself fall into relaxation now that his mind had been greatly put to ease by her words. Her voice alone could soothe him in normal situations, but when they spoke words he yearned to hear, the impact was tremendous.

Elann’s tone turned playful, the hum coming being signature to the mischief she usually partook in right after. To her character, she leaned in and kissed him on the corner of his mouth and let her hands course down over his ears and then resided in that area. She was letting her emotions down the bond to him and he was already relaxed as he was last night due to tiredness alone, and thus it didn’t take long for the sounds and gentle vibrations to sound through his body.

Noah closed his eyes lazily and let his head lax slightly as he hummed in delight. “When something feels good…” he trailed softly. “Keep doing that…”

A low groan rumbled through his throat and his shoulders slacked entirely. Sitting on him, she could feel the actual base in his chest and how the gentle rumbles turned into feelable vibrations coursing through the entirety of his being. The longer she went the more relaxed Noah became and the consistency of her actions played a part in how deep the reverberations turned into. Because he was a man and not an eagle they were several times louder and greater than they normally would’ve been.

In his state, his hands slowly crept towards Elann’s core and gripped gently at either side of her abdomen. The hold was loose, nothing in him wanting to tense, but she could plainly see the affect she was having on him.
