Adar's ears flushed grey. "That's up to Caleb. He's…I don't think he's embarrassed, but he's not as comfortable expressing it around others." He explained.
"Sounds like a certain someone." Nyt teased as she bent down to look at Abby better.
Abby shook her head and avoided meeting Nyt’s stare. ”Must be a human thing.” she said attempting to be dismissive despite her bright blush. ”Maybe he’ll be more comfortable knowing that we’re finally together.” she shrugged.
Nyt stood back up straight. "Maybe. I'd hope so!" She said with a smile.
Adar chuckled. "I'm not sure. I think Caleb is just nervous about being in a relationship. He says it's his first relationship."
”That’s true.” Abby nodded in acknowledgment. ”Honestly, this is my first relationship too.” she admitted, her blush growing slowly.
Nyt's ears stood straight up and went slightly gray. "I'm your first relationship? But you seem so…natural at it." She said.
Ava smiled and shook her head at the lovesick Sylvians. "How long will it be till we reach the camp?" Ava asked.
”Well, you make it so easy… and I'm very comfortable around you, Nyt.” Abby smiled at her girlfriend before turning to Ava. ”We should be getting pretty close by now. It's actually just over that hill.” she assured pointing out the hill in front of them.
Nyt practically had hearts in her eyes as she looked at her girlfriend. "I love you so much!" She whispered.
Abby turned a bright red when she heard Nyt’s comment. “I love you too, sweetheart.” she smiled softly back.
Nyt giggled. "Am I allowed to show affection at the camp, or do we still need to be 'friends'?" She asked. She didn't sound like she was guilt tripping or begging Abby, but more of an actual question.
”Depends on who's around.” Abby admitted, running her fingers through her hair. ”If he already knew… then we should be able to do that around Uncle Toby and Caleb, obviously… Umm, maybe Peter and Mark too… but I'm not sure how too many others will handle it.” she said a little embarrassed.
Nyt nodded. "Alright, sweetheart. Imagine the look on Mr. Myers if he knew though." She said, nudging Abby with a smile.
”Oh, no… We definitely can't let him find out.” Abby shook her head fiercely. ”He… That would be a disaster. He’d try to find a way to turn the camp against us because of our relationship.”
Nyt laughed. "Don't worry! I won't let him find out." She said, wrapping her tail around Abby's hand.
"Who's Mr. Myers?" Ava asked as she opened up to a page in her notebook to make notes if needed.
Abby smiled softly and gently held Nyt’s tail. ”Thank you. If it wasn't for the mask, I’d probably kiss you right now.” she sighed a little before answering Ava. ”Myers is a member of the council at the camp… and he’s a jerk. He really doesn't like Slyvians… to put it nicely.”
Ava scribbled down in her note's to not mess with Myers.
Nyt's ear layed down a bit. "But I can kiss you." She said as she bent down and pecked Abby on the cheek. "Is that better?"
Abby giggled a little at the kiss. ”Yeah, that did make me feel a little better.” she nodded, her face heating up again.
"Good. Now calm down the blush of yours before we go into camp." Nyt teased as she unwrapped her tail from her wrist.
Abby rolled her eyes at the tease, playfully bumping into Nyt. ”Easy for you to say. Sometimes I feel like… No, I know you enjoy doing this to me.” she chuckled.
Nyt chuckled with a devious smile on her face. "And what if I did?" She playfully stuck out her tounge. "What're you going to do about it?"
Abby smirked back. ”I’m sure I can come up with something…” she answered playfully ominous even though she wasn't sure yet what she would do. Just that she would find a way to get her back.
Nyt chuckled. "I can't wait to see what you come up with then." She said with a boop on the nose.
"If you two are done can we head into camp?" Adar said, purpously breaking up their conversation.
Abby laughed, a little more prepared for the light poke, and shook her head. ”Yeah, we can.” she told Ava as she picked up her pace a bit to make up for the flirting.
Ava smiled as she picked up pace towards the camp.
Caleb came over the top over the hill. He waved at the others as he came down the hill. "You guys sure took your sweet time." He teased with a smirk. "Were you dragging your feet that much? They seem pretty excited for your arrival." He said as he reached them.
Abby rolled her eyes and laughed when they caught up to Caleb. ”We weren't that slow. Nyt and I just got a little… sidetracked talking on the way.” she admitted with a shrug.
Caleb's signature lopsided grin crossed his face. "Of course it was you two holding the rest up. Why am I not suprised?" Caleb said as he shook his head. He turned to look at Ava. "Hello. I don't believe we've met."
Abby scrunched up her face in fake annoyance for a moment at his teasing. ”Caleb, this is Ava Smyth. Ava, this is my…” she paused before smirking at the other human. ”This is Adar’s boyfriend, Caleb.”
Caleb turned bright red as he shook Ava's hand. "It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry that you had to deal with Abby." He said, giving Abby a slight glare.
Ava laughed. "No need. I can't wait to see your camp though!" She said.
Abby smirked at him, glad to have a chance to make him blush for a change. ”Hey, I’ve had nothing but good experiences when I met Ava. She's actually really good with robotics. I got to meet three that she made.”
"You make robots?" Caleb asked Ava.
Ava nodded. "Yes, I do! They are my pride and joy, even though they do give me headaches from time to time."
Adar pecked Caleb on the top of his head. "We should head in, darling. We can discuss robots later."
Abby smiled at the group, glad that they were obviously getting along, and seeing Adar kiss Caleb was so sweet. ”Did you teach him about that?” she asked her girlfriend as they started walking again, entering the camp.
