[ A few gentle kisses pressed along his neck, she nuzzles around the skin, soft as a butterfly kiss with her eyelashes. Her ears droop a bit before she pulls back, arms still around Jakurai's shoulders as she meets his gaze and sets the brush aside- ]
When you came back marked. Bitten by someone else. His scent was all over you for a while...
[ She makes herself look up, adding- ]
I'd been waiting, to do it myself. You see- in my tribe... actually, a lot of miqo'te do this... when we find ourselves a mate, we... mark each other. It's a bit like a ritual- a promise, that we will be a part of each other. Most just do it to the ones they form an Eternal Bond with- but some also do it to express their feelings of... love. It's not done very casually... when you're marked, it's... a serious admission of feelings. And when others encroach on it, it's seen as an offense.
[ She can't expect him to know that, and she never really brought it up either. ]
I know... I never spoke to you about it. And we've been together here alone, but... I'd hoped it would be me doing it to you. Though, it seems like people like to bite each other a lot more here, but... marking as a claim... that's special.
[ Is she being too rambly? She looks worried, tilting her head at him. ]
I'm sorry... I didn't want to rush it. But it did sting knowing someone marked you like that, and it wasn't even Amemura.
[ Ramuda, she'd have accepted, but this was someone else entirely. ]
