[He's not shy to admit that yeah he liked the breeding aspect of it but the notion of tangling a bit of him up so thoroughly with a bit of her that it made a brand new person was very satisfying too. He rubs his cheek against her hair once she begins to talk. He vaguely recalls her saying that word -- tincture -- to Vale and pauses a moment in his nuzzling to look surprised.]
Was it your impulsivity that brought you to my place then?
[His little dump of a cabin out in the middle of the woods. When he'd come to here he wouldn't have cared whether he lived or died if Rat hadn't somehow came with him. She didn't deserve to sleep out in the woods with him even if she was technically part of said woods in a way. She had never had to hunt on her own and at first all of his efforts were to keep a roof over her little noodley head and rodents in her stomach.
That cabin was barely more than a room, run down when he found it and barely better after. He was glad to leave it behind.]
It was one of the things that brought me there, yes.
[There was a degree of her that knew that if she were going to go into heat, it'd be safer with Peter than trying to avoid Peter. Then he reacted like that to being asked if he wanted to be a father, and that changed her mind entirely on only spending the heat with him.]
Your emotions are what endeared you for certain to me, you know. I've never had someone so intensely emotional about me in a way that wasn't fear or anger. I don't think I've seen anyone feel love and longing so intensely as you seem to.
[That seems to be a real jolt to his heart yet again. He pauses in his activities of gently caressing her with his fingers and nuzzling her. He'd grab at his chest but it would mean taking his hands off of her and she's not really giving him good reasons to do that.]
I guess you've just never had someone love you as deeply as I do then.
[There's that lovesick crooning tone of his again. Peter eternally wobbles a line between gentle warm love and something more akin to a sickness when it comes to her. He had thought Y/N was it and he'd chased them through so many routes, so many shapes and types and sexes. So many games! Every time they were his one and only.
Until they weren't.
Until he saw her by happenstance and just everything else flew out the window of his soul so to speak.]
[He really is some kind of manic, something Maya had never been the target of like this, and she loved it. Turning her head so she could rest an ear against his chest, listening to that intensely thudding heart...]
I'm counting on that, for their sake.
[In case I fail.]
Seeing how you dote on Acorn and Rat, I know I made the right choice.
She really is sweet! You've been doing a great job keeping her feathers clean and making sure she's comfortable. And for Rat... and for me. If you can handle crying and mewling too, you'll do great with a baby.
I'll admit, I've never had a pet that cried. I'm sure it won't be a big deal though.
[Famous last words? Maybe, maybe not. Peter seems incredibly indulgent with animals and with Maya too to some extent. Not that a baby is an animal but how could he not be indulgent with his own flesh and blood?]
Oh, the tears, the waterworks! With my first baby, oh, my heart broke so often every time.
By the time he was a few years old and he cried just because he was surprised or cranky. He was such a cute baby, with deep brown fur and cute little gold speckle-like spots and a few little stripes, like me. I can't wait to see how this baby looks... whether they're a tireless folk like you, or a purr folk like me.
[The more Maya reminisces about her first baby the softer Peter's expression goes. It's clear he really enjoys hearing her wax on at length about him. It's easy to construct an image of the little guy in his mind, from that fur to the speckle-like spots.
His soft looks doesn't quite fade away when her mentions of tireless and purr folk bring up a question he's been wondering about and easily forgetting.]
... How does that make us tireless? I know I sure like to sleep sometimes.
[Well more so now that he's determined to be around to keep her warm. Not that she needs it, of course. That and he basks in having someone to cuddle with in bed. It was pretty lonely before.]
[Ah, he hadn't thought of it like that. He makes a show of thinking over it before he gives her a gentle squeeze before gesturing with one of his legs.]
[The moment Maya grabs onto his thigh is the moment a jolt of electric hits Peter's spine. Then there he is, meaning to joke around and suddenly sporting yet another erection.
He near literally melts. The moment of surprise on his face is gone in a second and instead he gives her this flush-faced, madly enthralled look.]
Promises, promises. I'm going to hold you to that, you know.
[She'll rest a hand on his hip, very aware at how quickly she flipped his switch and thoroughly amused - and pleased - by it.]
Now that heat isn't melting my brain into a singular goal, I'm looking forward to having some real fun with you, my shadow. Let's have breakfast and have a bit of fun before packing up?
[Mercifully, she lets go of his thigh, but her arms tug at his waist to dip him so she can reach higher on him a little better.
Even so, with him cradled in her arms and his knees bent, she can only reach his collarbone and neck. Ah well. She'll press a few flirtatious kisses on his skin, there.]
[Peter makes a sound somewhere in his throat that sounds like some mix between a whimper and a dry laugh. He also drops a hand to the ground to try and support himself. He's got to be heavy, right? She shouldn't be straining herself but ... oooh Miss Maya~.]
You keep saying that. Am I really that sweet to you?
[Because Maya sure is the only one who has ever called him of all people sweet.]
[Peter purrs without restraint, getting more and more dopey looking the longer she showed him with affection. By and large he's terrible at flirting and he's even worse with her dousing him in affection. He's never had so much positive attention at once and when he talks his words are purred out.]
If you return it tenfold then I just have to return it a hundredfold~.
[It's stupid. It's sappy. It's cute love talk and he's living for it.]
[Cute, he's cute... with his flushed pink skin, sharp blue eyes, that completely smitten expression. Pressing one more kiss to his neck, she pulled him up and out of the tilt, laughing fondly at the sappy, saccharine silliness. With one last kiss to the hickey she left on his wrist, she tugged him towards their firepit so breakfast could be had, and so a little fun could be had after that.]
