Compared to the almost desperate need that characterized the first time they'd made love that night, the second time was slower, more tender. But it lost none of the passion, their strengthened emotional connection making it all the stronger.

Kenzo sighed pleasantly. Somehow, he wasn't exactly sure how, he'd ended up on his back, with Utsusemi lying on top of him. Far from being uncomfortable, he found her weight on him very pleasant indeed. The softness of her skin, the warmth of her body, the way her hair spilled all around his face, all made him feel very good indeed.

He chuckled, then, his hand coming up to gently brush down her back, tracing her spine. "Well. I daresay I'm quite comfortable. Shall we sleep this way, then?"

"Mmm, yes, that sounds good," Utsusemi sighed, her back slowly rising and falling with the breathing. "I don't know if I could sleep yet, but I don't think I can do much else now."

She chuckled warmly as she placed a kiss over his heart. "We could stay up a little longer, talking? I always like to listen to you talk... like, what your favourites are?"

"Mmmm." Kenzo murmured softly, pleasantly, as Utsu's lips pressed against his chest. His heart had a steady beat, regular and comforting. "I would like that very much, Utsusemi." He said softly. "I can think of nothing I would find more enjoyable, in fact."

"Favorites?" Kenzo's head lifted up, just a little, his lips twisting into a smile. "There are so many things I would consider my favorites, depending on how they are categorized. Food... well, that may have changed. I confess to a new appreciation for baklava." A quick grin, a playful squeeze on her back. "Animals, activities, hmm. Places... memories..." His gaze went distant, thoughtful, as his imagination began to work.

He sighed, giving her a smile. "Is there something you're most curious about? I shall be happy to tell you all about it.

Utsusemi yelped quietly when he squeezed her. "Hmh, if I didn't know that the voyage back home would be lean and harsh, just like the one to come here, I'd be upset with my weight-gain..." her lips pursed in a playful smile.

"But let's see..." the tips of her nails traced faint patterns on the skin of his chest. "You love animals so much, but I don't think I have asked if you have a favourite?"

Kenzo grinned up at her. "Have you gained weight? If you have, it certainly hasn't been substantial." Indeed, if she had, it only seemed to add to her curvaceousness, which he found delightful. His grin grew. "And, seeing as you're lying on top of me, I feel qualified to speak with some authority on the matter." His arms encircled her, holding her atop him, emphasizing the point.

"Hmmm..." Kenzo's lips pursed thoughtfully. "There's so many, it's difficult to decide. They all have their charms. Well, almost all." He made a face. "There's a reason I prefer mammals. After this expedition, I think I should be happy never to see another hornet."

"Even then..." His fingers drummed gently on Utsu's back as he thought. After a moment, he reddened. "It... may not be terribly professional of me as a naturalist. I should be choosing the most intriguing animal. But... spotting the Red Raccoon, I found myself not only interested in it as a discovery, but thoroughly charmed by its appearance, and its mannerisms. I don't know that it's proper science to be drawn to the animal one finds most cute. Nevertheless..." He shrugged, smiling sheepishly.

"Hmph, maybe it's mostly my imagination as I feel like I've been indulging more than I usually do... I will accept your 'expert opinion' this time," Utsusemi poked his side playfully but did not escalate it into a blir of tickling this time at least.

"Aww... you shouldn't be embarrassed to say that. It really does seem like a cute creature, I really wish I could have seen it myself after you showed me your painting." The memory of it seemed so long ago. "So... you don't care much for sea-creatures or insects, hm?"

This time, it was Kenzo's turn to yelp, as Utsu poked his side; by now, she knew just where to poke. He grinned up at her, appreciating her playfulness.

The grin gradually turned to a fond smile. "No, I suppose I shouldn't. Especially not in front of you." He tilted his head up to gently kiss her forehead. That she not only accepted, but seemed to love all of his little eccentricities was something he was truly grateful for.

"But, to answer your question..." Kenzo shrugged. "Both have their interests to me. Insects have many fascinating behaviors, and impressive complexity for their size. Sea life is also fascinating, and moreso of late, since I've had more experience with it..." He trailed off, chewing his lip thoughtfully.

"But mammals... I suppose my fascination comes from close comparison with humans. Many different sorts of mammal behavior can be seen in human behavior. Like the fierceness with which a bear defends her young." Another fond smile for Utsu at that. "But there are differences, and those fascinate me as well. Nature can be cruel, from a certain point of view, but I don't really see animals as cruel. If that makes sense."

Her smile did grow a little more as Kenzo kissed her forehead. "Hmm... I think I understand. There's something in the Tao on that too, no? 'Humans argue, nature acts' or something. I was never really a good student of theology," Utsusemi admited sheepishly.

The tip of her nail traced another pattern on his skin. "Guess I didn't think of the comparisons between humans and animals before..." she chuckled a little at her own short-sightedness when it came to nature. "As I usually think of how they look, or the sounds they make. Like cicadas... I always liked to listen to the sound they make - even if they aren't beautiful or cute like your red raccoon. Or graceful like a songbird. But still they have a unique sound."

Kenzo nodded, his expression interested. "Yes, exactly. I had a similar talk with Berena, actually. She suggested that nature is cruel because of the things it does. I suggested that it is not, because it simply... does."

Kenzo looked down, smiling as he both watched and felt her finger tracing little patterns on his chest. He did always enjoy the sight of her hands at work. "And, to the contrary, I only notice their sound when it seems to have some significance. The difference between a plains bird, and a forest bird, for instance." His hand came up to brush fondly across her cheek. "Perhaps it is your artist's soul, as opposed to my... errr..." Exactly what it was didn't come to him.

He chuckled, shrugging. "Sometimes, on my expeditions, I've wished I could see things the way you do, with your eye for such things." His lips quirked. "Or that you could join me on one."

"Your scoundrel's soul?" Utsusemi retorted with an amused chuckle, leaning into his caress to gently kiss his fingers as they passed by.

"But, I suppose it has a lot to do with my background with the arts, yes. So many sounds and images of nature are used in poetry to evoke certain feelings: the sound of geese refer to the season being autumn, the song of cicadas means it is summer..." she mused, but decided not to bore Kenzo with the technical details that should be in a proper poem.

After all, she knew there were more interesting things to talk about. "Though, I bet you cannot guess the animal I am most fond of."

That suggestion earned Utsu a laugh, as well as a pleased murmur at the touch of her lips on his fingers. "Scoundrel's soul it is, then." His arms tightened around her, pleased.

In fact, Kenzo's eyebrows went up, his expression interested. "Oh." He said. He pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Would you teach me, sometime? I have some interest in poetry, but I never know where to begin. This overlap in our specialties sounds rather promising."

He was interested, but would certainly agree that this other topic sounded more so. After a few moments of consideration, he shook his head with a smile. "I think you are right." He said. "Too many possibilities occur to me." He interrupted her tracing, catching her hand with his, and bringing it to his lips. "I hope you will tell me."

That Kenzo showed an interest in learning poetry too, well... just like she had picked up on his love of animals and liked to talk about it, Utsusemi also liked to share in her passions for the arts. "I would love to, Kenzo. Really, you should have asked me before," she giggled softly and kissed his fingers again.

"Hmm... do you want me to give you hints, that you might try to guess it, or shall I be straightforward about it?"

Smiling, Kenzo extended his fingers, letting Utsu spread her kisses around them. "I suppose I should have. Before this, our time together was always brief. Painting sessions, now and then." He smiled. "I look forward to this, too."

"Ooh." Kenzo said, grinning. He rubbed his hands up and down her back excitedly. "I rather like the idea of trying to guess, actually. When it could be anything, I was daunted, but with hints..." He gave her a smirk, tilting his chin up. "Let us see if I can guess it."

"So do I," Utsusemi said as she looked at him with affection.

But with a guessing-game coming up now, her expression did turn more playful. "Hm... let's see..." Her fingers drummed against his skin as she thought of where to start. "It is a mammal. And... hm, it's fur has spots, even when they're adult... and they're herbivores..."

It was a bit challenging to think of good clues that wouldn't easily give it away to a specialist in the field like Kenzo. "I know they're very prized for hunters."

Kenzo watched Utsu, smiling fondly as he noted the small changes in her expression. Idly, his hand traced the length of her back, starting at her shoulder, and working all the way down, making lazy circles along the way, until he reached the base of her spine.

As she finished Kenzo nodded. "Yes, indeed. I've known hunters. Sometimes it seems as though they use antlers in all of their decorating." He grimaced delicately.

His eyebrows went up, and he gave her a smile. "But it sounds as though your favorite animal is the deer. A fine choice; I confess to some fondness for them as well." He tilted his head, regarding her. "May I ask what makes them your favorite?"

"Antlers for decorating...?" her nose wrinkled in distaste, and she shook her head. "That's just... ugh, no."

Utsusemi pushed away the thought of people using antlers, bones, and skin for decoration, and focused instead on the pleasant feeling of Kenzo's hands against her back and that he had guessed correctly. "Hm... I guess I didn't really make it hard to guess. Yes... deer." Her smile was fond.

"Crane lands is a good place for deers. Lots of grasslands to feed on, as well as forests to roam in. So, I suppose it was not completely unexpected that my siblings and I came across a fawn when we were outdoors, playing by by the edge of the forest. It had probably gotten separated from its mother, poor thing, as we found it hiding underneath some wild bushes of lilacs... I am a little surprised we saw it, thinking about it now, considering how well their spotted fur hides them in nature." The breath of her chuckle was warm and pleasant against his naked skin.

"I remember I started crying because my older brother wanted to go and capture it, and scared the fawn. So I hit him. Not that it did much of course, but when you're a small child, it seemed like the right thing to do. I mostly recall that I thought it was very beautiful and maybe needed help..."

She sighed softly. "Of course, then there was that other time I was rushed by rather over-affectionate deer while visiting a shrine. Some shrines and temples have sacred deer that wander around freely on the temple grounds, and have grown more accustomed to humans... so it's not unusual that those who want some good luck from the shrine's kami to bring small offerings to the deer. And by offerings, of course I mean food. I thought I would make my offering last a little bit longer than it did... but the deer had other plans. Not that they kicked or stampeded me, but they were very insistent with their very soft snouts."

Kenzo listened, happy indeed to listen to Utsu talk. To feel the pleasant weight of her on him, her bare skin against his. The warmth of her breath on his body as she spoke. He continued his gentle touch, running his hand down her back with exquisite slowness, again and again, simply savoring the feel of her, and the enjoyment he knew it was giving her.

He laughed softly, more than once, his body gently shaking beneath her. "I can certainly picture both of those things. A young Utsusemi surrounded by a group of hungry deer." He grinned up at her impudently, imagining it. "Animals that have become accustomed to being fed by humans can often be rather... insistent, I would say. I'm glad that they didn't gobble you up."

His expression softened, growing more fond. "But I think I can even more easily imagine you standing up to your older brother, in the defense of a helpless animal. I have no difficulty believing that, even as a child, you were kind to those who needed kindness." His smile grew. "And, that when it was necessary, you were fierce in their defense. That is one of the things that I love about you, after all."

He had to kiss her, at that. Nothing else would do. Kenzo tilted his head up, his free hand coming to gently cup her cheek, guiding their lips together for a kiss, tender yet lingering.

Her lips smiled against his as they kissed, sharing in the tenderness and affection of the moment.

"Hmm... I guess I can be fierce sometimes," Utsusemi chuckled, leaning her forehead against Kenzo's as their lips parted. "But... I suppose what made the fawn so special was that it was the first true wild animal I remember seeing. Apart from birds and such. I didn't grow up with wilderness right outside my door, like you did." She punctuated her reference to his childhood by gently booping him on the nose with her fingertip.

"After all, even when we were playing by the outskirts as children, we were never without supervision. And we had to travel a short distance from our estate to get there. But it was nice when we did, since it was so big, wide, and open, compared to the walled-in gardens at home." She pouted slightly. "Though, I rarely see deer in the Dragon lands... a shame, really."

Again, Kenzo couldn't help but laugh as Utsu gently booped his nose. His mouth opened, and he bit playfully in her finger's direction as she pulled away, teeth closing on nothing but air.

"I see, yes. That does sound special." Kenzo's smile was fond. "It's difficult for me to imagine. I can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded by wildlife. Sometimes in rather the manner you described with the temple deer." He chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm lucky I wasn't gobbled up. Goats will eat anything."

Kenzo grinned at the pout, bringing the tips of his fingers to her lips, encouraging a kiss of them, instead. "It's true, deer are rare in Dragon lands." His eyebrows went up. "But not entirely absent. It's cold enough in winter that they migrate. If you happen to visit the valleys that they travel through at just the right time, they're impossible to miss." He gave her a smile, running his hand down her back once more. "Perhaps I could show you sometime."

She giggled at his impression of a snapping turtle going after her finger, ending up with her face buried against his chest.

"Mhm, yes, I've heard about the dangerous goats that will eat anything in their paths," she laughed a little more before lifting her face again. Goats weren't as pretty as deer in her eyes, though the baby goats were rather adorable. At least Tsumugi thought they were rather adorable too to watch when the little goats would jump around and play. "I might start worrying you'll be eaten by goats when you go on your expeditions."

Utsusemi chuckled once more and delicately kissed his fingertips. "... I think I'd like that, Kenzo. It sounds really nice, watching the deer travelling through the valleys. One just has to hope that there isn't too much snow that makes it hard to travel. I'd love for Tsumugi to have the chance to see them too, as she's not seen a deer before. At least not in real life."
