The door opened and Leland smiled at the women who appeared before him. Of course, he had been expecting her, he knew she had been home, but all the same his hammering heart quieted a bit at the relief when she appeared. “Catherine! How are ya?” He grinned and nodded happily as she invited him in. Hanging around in a tree wasn’t quite his idea of home, but better to be inside than out. As he entered, he noted it was rather cozy, smaller than Asha’s, but it fit them both and that was what mattered he supposed. As long as Catherine was happy here.
One brown and one blue eye strayed about the room, he noted that Seymour and Saw seemed at home in the tree as well. Leland still hadn’t built his own home yet, but with spring coming fast upon them, he didn’t know what was delaying him. Soon enough he would have to get to it. Turning he met Catherine face to face again and smiled. The male wasn’t sure how to go about this anymore, the last two times he had fallen flat on his face and he didn’t want it to be the case now. “Catherine… I …” The words didn’t want to come out, and impulsively he drew closer to her, landing a kiss on her lips, hoping that the actions spoke louder than the words he wouldn’t say.
