"It truly is" He agreed wit her before lifting his own head when she did. He let out a small deep purr when she started to play with his hair, he closed his eyes a tiny bit as she continued to mess with it "I think I could too but sadly we cannot" He said sadly to her

"Are you a cat?" She giggled, continuing to play with his hair as she enjoyed the sound of his purr. "Well, theres always tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that." She tilted her head up at him, admiring him happily.

He shrugged his shoulders at her playful tease "I don't know, probably" He joked leaning his head more into her hand as she continued to play with his hair, it really did feel good to have her play around with his hair. He enjoyed the feeling as it got him to relax and also feel all warm and bubbly inside. "True and I will be spending those days wisely with you" He mused to her before placing a kiss on her forehead "But for now I must get you back to your castle before I have guards coming after me" He said with a small chuckle

She huffed. "Aw, you're no fun, Kitty. You don't want to stay out here all night with me?" She tilted her head up at him, running her fingers through his hair gently.

He rolled his eyes at the new nickname, he was going to say something but she really was a witch that put a spell on him because no matter what he tried telling himself he was not going to say no to her "I mean I suppose we could... but let's get out of the tree before we fall out of it" He grumbled quietly to her

"Alright." She grinned up mischievously at him, climbing easily back down the tree and doing a little victory dance. She walked over to give Monty some pats while she waited for him to come back down.

He shook his head as she grinned at him, he watched her climb down easily before doing the same once she had set two feet on the ground. He chuckled lightly at her small victory dance as he quickly made his way down. Once he was on the ground he walked over to her and Monty giving him a few pats then walking up behind Mercy and wrapping his arms around her pulling her back close to him

She smiled, closing her eyes and laying her hands on his arms, leaning back into him. "You make me feel so... safe." She sighed happily, turning her head to look up at him.

He held her a bit tightly not wanting to let her go "Good, that's how I want you to always feel" He said to her firmly before walking back slowly with her, when he got up against the tree he sank softly to the ground keeping her in his arms and in between his legs

She smiled, sinking down with him. "I think I always will." She pressed her back against his chest and leaned her head back on his body. She rested her hands on his legs, massaging them lightly. "You must be exhausted." She mused.
