"I will work," Leo said and began to strip. "Though I did think that it would be a bit closer to the temple. It's somewhere for us to keep up with our personal hygiene."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan thinks "well you can ride me to here, I don't mind." turning human, he strips and walks into the hotsprings. Shizan then looks at Leo "or would you prefer something else?"

[star478]

"I don't want to ride you like us humans ride horses any more than I have to," Leo said and followed Shizan into the hotspring. Leo sighed as the water helped to soothe his aching muscles from working those first few days after the wreck just trying to survive. He then began to scrub all the dirt and grime off his body. He didn't have any soap but it will have to do. "I don't want to degrade you by riding you, which I feel like I'm doing. I'll be fine with walking. At least until it gets to be too difficult due to my kit filled belly."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan scrubs Leos back, trying to help. "I only will let you ride me. No one else. I enjoy your rideing me, but if you want to walk you can walk."

[star478]

Leo closed his eyes as Shizan scrubbed his back, humming.

"Don't you feel degraded, like you're some kind of dumb animal--which you're not--whenever I ride you though?" Leo asked. "Either way, I probably won't ride you until the pregnancy makes it too difficult for me to walk."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan purrs "when you ride me I feel like im helping you. Also I feel that you trust me as well." He kisses Leos shoulder. "Im fine with your walking as well."

[star478]

"That's good," Leo said and gave a small burp. "At least when I do ride you I won't feel like I'm degrading you. Though that won't be till later on in the pregnancy, but still. My mind is at ease at least."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan purrs "Im glad i could ease your mind." His hands slide to Leos stomach, as he kisses Leos shoulder. "I love you and want you safe"

[star478]

"Thank you," Leo whispered and leaned back into Shizan. He wanted to reciprocate the feelings Shizan felt toward him, but they had just met and for Leo it takes a while for him to reciprocate those feelings. The kits will probably speed up that process though.

Leo sighed before sinking further down into the water just wanting to relax for a change.

[Okamiryun]

Shizan purrs and just holds Leo close. Enjoying the water alot, he watches the sky. Woundering what Leos old home is like.

[star478]

They remain in the water until Leo's skin became wrinkled. He sighed and went to stand up, but Shizan was holding him close enough that made nearly impossible for him to get free unless Shizan would loosen his grip a little.

"Uh Shizan," Leo said and blushed while smiling. "We should probably get out. You don't want my skin to be all wrinkly like a raisin, do you?"

[Okamiryun]

Shizan lets him go and jumps out. "It would be better if you aren't wrinkly, are you feeling ok?"

[star478]

Leo smiles and follows Shizan out of the hot spring.

"I'm feeling fine for right now," Leo said frowning and stretched marveling at how loose his muscles feel after being in the hot spring as long as they were. "Why do you ask? Should I be feeling any different or something?"

[Okamiryun]

Shizan shakes off and looks at Leo"no I was hoping you would feel better now"

[star478]

"Well, I feel clean now if that's what you mean," Leo said with a small smile before blushing as he realized that he was still naked. "Could you get me some clean in order for me to wash these ones? Being completely butt naked while washing them isn't how we usually wash our clothes back in human civilization."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan purrs and gets some clothing.Its leather ."But i like this veiw, and no one else is around, mate." He offers the clothes, kissing Leo when he reaches for the clothing.

[star478]

Leo returns the kiss as he grabs the clothing, blushing. "Humans rarely go without clothing," Leo said as he carefully put the clothes on. "Some people sleep without clothing and all humans bathe without clothing. Those are about the only times--other than when having sex--humans go without clothing."

Leo's blush then got deeper.

"I-if need be, I could go without clothing. If you want me to."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan licks Leos ear and purrs softly "I would enjoy it, and I won't let anyone else see you naked. Thats for mates only." his left hand caresses Leos backside

[star478]

Leo's blush gets deeper turning his face as red as a tomato.

"L-let's get back to the temple," Leo said. "I'll wear these clothes until then in case we come across the others in our 'herd.' If you don't mind, I think I'll ride you on the way back as well."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan nods and turns jaguar. His grin shows all his sharp teeth. "As you wish my mate" he offers his back to Leo
