Kaija's claws gently scritch behind Eutheria's ears. She hears the soft little purrs it gets from the gal with the fiery orange mane.
She lets out a quiet, gleeful snicker.
She notices Eutheria move her arms up, and feels them reach for those little tufts of black fur under the corners of her own jaw.
Eutheria plays with the furry tufts, affectionate little movements.
Kaija closes her eyes, focusing on the sensation.

It's odd, in an amusing way.
She had never really been consciously aware of these.
But ever since Eutheria had pointed out how cute they are and how much she loves playing with them, it quickly had become Kaija's favourite thing when she did.

It's now Kaija's turn to let out a quiet purr through her nose, and she has to snort quietly right after.
The large, scarred veteran is still not used to this level of softness and affection.
But it's not that she minds...
Not at all.

Kaija lifts her head a little, and places a playful lick along the ridge of Eutheria's snout.
It elicits a giggle from the latter, causing Kaija's heart to make a little jump.

Eutheria wraps her arms around Kaija's neck and pulls her in, murmuring her words of love into Kaija's ears.
Kaija returns the hug, having to hold back not to let her happiness squeeze Eutheria too hard.

"Love you too, you dork~"
