"Snarky? I call it being cautious." Ceral smiled and nudged at Ivy playfully. He shrugged. "No but... he's not done yet. And he's done it before, carried. This would be my first time." And that's what really made Ceral nervous if he were to eventually give into this. He'd never carried before. What if he had some complications? What if his body was too small? What if he couldn't pop out the eggs because his pelvis was too small? He just wanted to be careful. At this point, he felt almost tired of trying to fight the reason why he was here, but that was no reason to give up and do this without thinking it through first. Maybe the humans would get their little kits, but not until he was comfortable and ready, and God knows when that would be. His heat was pretty random. It should've been every few weeks, but it more often than not came when it liked, so he'd stopped trying to figure out when it would onset a long time ago.

Ceral watched Ivy with curious eyes. A kiss... Well, it wasn't anything over the top. "My sister used to joke that kissing got you pregnant," he said jokingly, tipping his head back as he eyed Ivy. He was glad that wasn't true. "I- uh, I mean if you'd like? I don't really think I'm good..." Ceral trailed off, embarrassed to admit his lack of knowledge in this area. He could sure as hell act smug, but this was the sort of thing that made him melt. He might just spend the night here with Ivy tonight while he was around.
