"Come oooon, where are you?"
>You waited with waning patience, leaned against a light pole. About ten more minutes and that light would start to glow.
>She was supposed to meet you there any time, and you knew she wouldn't get lost.
>Off she had gone, doing a bit of her own grocery shopping while you did yours.
>In your hands: plastic bags. In hers as she rounded that corner: a wicker basket full of berries.
>Ol' red-hair-blue-eyes came waving at you with her free hand.
>"I'm here! I made it, no worries, everything's fine, just had a detour!"
>Your very definitely human gf slowed her approach as you raised a hand to meet her.
>A single pat on her head and then your fingers slid down behind her ear, lightly dragging finger nails before stopping right at the corner of her jaw.
>Scritch scritch scritch.
>Her eyes nearly rolled right to the back of her head before she quickly recomposed herself.
>"I got a little of everything, these should be enough for what you wanted to make, right?"
>She showed off the contents of her basket with a smile seeking praise.

>With stems threaded down between the berries, two red tulip heads stood above the rest.
>"Yeah, it's the ones you gave me. I uh...noticed sometimes humans have flowers sitting between them when they eat?"
>"I wondered why you kept bringing me flowers, until I found out it's a token given by mates."
>You stared at her dumbfounded for a moment.
"Uh...but...I haven't given you flowers in a couple of years."
>"Oh I know! I kept them outside my den."
>"All of the matriarchs of your kind keep their own flowers, so I watched them to learn how, but I managed to take care of them long enough that they began to sprout on their own."
>"Now they're all grown up and around my old den, so I thought I'd fetch a couple for us!"
