Based on what she had heard, she didn't expect him to be so... soft. But Jiho was always like that with her. He made her feel safe. Taken care of. And, right now, desired. She kissed him back, unsure of what she was doing, but enjoying it nonetheless. She hoped the same could be said for him. Cherry had nothing else to compare it to.
Cherry forgot how to breathe until he pulled away. She felt lightheaded. She inhaled. Exhaled. Frozen in that moment. Her cheeks were now as red as her namesake. She wasn't sure how people could do this so casually. "Well... maybe a little." She was surprised by how playful she was feeling. Was it normally this way?
She slowly reached out and grabbed his hand. Somehow, this was more terrifying than the kiss. After all, she had a lot of time to think about it. "Thank you for not letting me run off." She smiled at him. "Want to join me and Sammy?"
his smile grew slightly, just looking at her when she replied back so playfully. it wasn't lost on him. the oddness of the moment. it wasn't the sort of kiss he would drag her home with. take her apart in one way and then decide if he would the other. he knew some had almost made it a sort of game. so much so, that he avoided most humans unless it was to kill them. but cherry had always been a bit different, hadn't she? he let their hands intertwine without any fanfare. instead just offering a nod before moving to walk with the two of them. little sammy looking at him slightly odd for a moment before going about her normal business. there was always something about the small one that made a part of him purr internally. she had a look in her eyes at points that would make any siren proud. one of the very reason talon was happy to let the rumors about being her father keep flying about. one, it was entertaining and two, she would fit one nicely.
"so, outside of surprising ourselves today, what do you have planned to do?" he questioned softly, doing his best not to make a big deal about of the kiss but clearly not forgetting it. "looking for anything specific?"
