And They Call It Puppy Love (Valentine's Day Bonding)

Although Reprise hadn't known the little Angel's name before the Familiar had become a pulse of light, they had felt the name resonate through them from the pool of soul within them. It was difficult to describe the sensation as Cariad rushed through them, but it was somewhat uplifting.Their mouth wasn't big enough to truly beam, but they smiled as broadly as they were able as they took in the sight of that oh so soft-looking new form.

With both Dust and Tellar taking their spot at their newest bonded's side, Kemori was the last one. And it seemed only natural, perhaps, that a certain Scrimshaw sumine didn't even wait before pouncing on the kitsune, knocking him to the ground and beginning to lick his face! And here I had a whole speech planned out like the others, the Defteros grumbled good-naturedly, shaking his head. Regardless, Kemori, you have won my mate and I over with your obvious loyalty to your other half and we would be remiss not to take advantage of the fact that you have so much in common with us. Luckily his energetic mate finally stepped back, her eyes bright with joy and her tail wagging a mile a minute.

"Oof!" 

Totally caught unawares by the Sumine Kemori was utterly bowled over, though he couldn't help the laughter as he was tackled and licked, petting the soft ears and cushioned on his tails. 

"The honor is mine," the Kitsune got out when the noble lady stepped back and he was able to sit up. "Loyalty to one's mate through all trials is at the heart of the Kitsune Clan... along with a healthy dose of play and tricks. I'm certain my 'clan' here will welcome you both with open arms and hearts, Keigo and Aiki, and I hope you'll find yourselves happy with us as well." 

((They are so perfect! Thank you so much!! For reference, 'Keigo' means 'Guard' as a noun or 'Being on Alert' as a verb, and 'Aiki' a combination of 'Ai' for 'Love' and 'Ki' for 'Heart, Essence, Spirit,' etc.))
