Something about her at his side, made his life feel at peace. She was doing nothing but mothering, pouring him tea, mending an old shirt he favored on the off chance but at his side. Silent and scented like sun basked feline - a favorite of his. Olu didn't know much else but to stare upon her, but he did eventually reach over with a wonder of if... she'll allow him to take her jaw. Mask not removed - as it was for her to show him what she wanted to hide... but it did little to deter the larger feline from leaning closer to settle his lips upon where she's should be beneath the fabric. A gentle peck - as he settled back on his own space. Releasing her jaw with a swipe of thumb to then take the tea poured and sip with appreciation.

"I feel like I should be asking you to be my woman."

Somi liked Olu -- being near him brought more peace than she as used to, and he never really asked much of her. Not that he needed to, she was rather attuned to things and was always eager to help whenever he did request something of her. Fingers circle the rim of her cup, watching the steam waft over it. Olu shifts and she turns her gaze to him, lashes lifting to stare at him when his hand takes her jaw, twin tails stilling before swishing with the tinkering bell.

The deity blinks several times, at the peck, simply staring at the larger feline before canting her hand at his words. Some part of her wants to shed the mask so he can kiss her proper. And the urge to do so nearly overwhelms her but she settles for letting a smirk curve her lips and a soft chuckle leaves her. Ah, how long has it been since she's had someone kiss her ? ❝ ━ So why don't you ? My answer would be yes, of course. ❞ One slender shoulder rises and falls and she meets his gaze, ❝ ━ One day, and one day soon, I'd like for you to try that again, preferably when my mask isn't on. I....want to taste your kiss. ❞ / @nvrcmplt
