"Well, my dear?"
Pomni turned back, staring up at Caine's small, floating figure. He may be short, but when he floated so high she had to crane her neck.
"Hmm?" She hummed out, unsure and curious of what he was talking about. He merely looked at her expectantly.
"I think you owe me something for helping you all out on that little adventure", he singsonged, coming down almost to her level yet staying in the air, his descent causing a slight breeze to ruffle her hair.
"Oh. Um, what exactly?" She asked, fidgeting nervously. She wasn't sure what she could possibly owe Caine, and something told her that probably wasn't good. Even though they were unofficially together, she still didn't really know him.
"You owe me", he started, pausing for effect. "A kiss," He finished, booping her nose (or where it would be) for emphasis.
"Oh! Um, okay", she stuttered, face warm and pink. She wasn't sure how she was going to do this with his unorthodox appearance and face shape.
She held the sides of his face with her lanky arms and large gloved hands and tilted his head to the side, allowing her access to his... Cheeks? She then leaned forward and gave him a little peck, pulling her whole body away quickly. His face was pretty smooth and almost plastic-y, but not quite.It was sort of warm, but just barely.
"W-was that okay?" She asked, anxious to how he felt. If she still had a heartbeat her pulse likely would have quickened. But she didn't.
"Hmm..." He slowly floated back up, rubbing his chin comically as if in thought. "No. I suppose we will have to redo it", he said. There was a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, lacking any real malice.
Pomni supposed it was an alright thing to owe him. And it was pretty cute when he preened and purred and practically vibrated with every bit of contact. He was like a bird, or a cat, or something. It was a rather endearing experience in her opinion.
"Satisfied now?" She giggled out, enjoying his reactions. It had even helped her calm her constant nerves.
"Mm-mm. keep going" he whined, not wanting her affections to stop.
So she doesn't. She continues until they're both a little giggling and kissing pile on the checkered floor of the circus, and for a few minutes everything is alright.
