There must have been at least two-three other cats he had flirted with since he had last seen Nyx, and while that wasn't a good thing, Barracuda seemed immensely proud of it. "Of course, of course, love. We'll find somewhere nice." He smiled at her, fangs showing in a fake ivory grin. Had Nyx looked closely, she might have noticed that the smile didn't quite reach his eyes. There was malice, and trickery behind them, carefully locked away beneath his innocent facade to make sure that he would be able to do as he pleased for as long as he wanted. And that was pretty much the story of Barracuda's life, locking away any real feelings beneath an innocent facade - or a flirty one - until he had gotten what he wanted. "If I remember correctly, there's a comfortable one over here, right?" He asked, his tail twitching back and forth as he gave his target a smile. Yes... Barracuda was confident that today was going to be a good day. He just felt it. Something about the air was different, and it wasn't just his success in tricking Nyx, but something was different about it altogether.

"I believe you're right. Well then, shall we go?" Nyx gave Barracuda a small smile and flicked her tail, then brushed up against him on her way to the den. Black mixed with grey for a second, and then the Turkish Van was ahead of Barracuda. She looked back with a flirty gaze and smiled again, then flicked her tail so it would lightly smack Barracuda in the nose. She wanted to enjoy life right now, just her and Barracuda living happily until the kits were born. Even then they would be happy, teaching their kits and watching them grow. Nyx would make up with Nova, and all would be well. Or, that's what she hoped. The air seemed to affirm her fantasies, a different quality in it that made her believe everything she had thought about. They were going to be happy.
