Aside from the amazing, grip of emotion that love and romance catered to his heart, Romeo was fascinated by different places. He was traveler. His heart never found comfort being left alone in one place. What was so great about that? So, he had described his travels to the pretty feline beside him. He had told her about the wonders of the large trees, almost touching the sky with their majestic leaves. He told her about the sparkling waterfall of an aqua color that left him amazed; speechless beyond words. He told her of the great golden sand that provided the dark royal blue of the ocean anfriend. As he told her most about his journies, he hoped that she would reconsider. Just reconsider and come with him. They could be nomads together, they could be each other's home! But that fire extinguished quickly as much as it had ignited. She did love her family...and, who was he to try and take that away from her? Nobody. He was nobody. When she mentioned that she would love to grow it, Romeo gave the molly a sideways glance.
"Hm? Whatever do you mean by growing it? Is your twoleg molly carrying a little miracle?" His voice was soft, pleasing in a manner as a gentle smile etched onto his maw. Babies were a delightful addition to any family, indeed. He didn't take Essie as being a familial feline, but that thought suddenly interested the Tom even greater.
Especially after hearing her sincere words, he turned to look at her, smiling greatly, but before he could say something; fire lit the sky. This made his eyes look up, becoming entranced at the different colors. The loudness could had been toned down, but the colors created artwork. The sky was the canvas, and these sparks were the brushes. Unconsciously, he wrapped his tail around his company, squeezing her lightly in his grasp as if she would disappear forever if he hadn't.
"This is what I wanted your eyes to catch..." he muttered, his mind paying more attention to the colored sky. Others around them danced and cheered, but they were hidden from their view, two cats enjoying the show as much as the twolegs.
"The work of the Sparks. It happens every year around this time. I always find them amazing." He quickly glanced at Essie, smiling, then turning his gaze back on the sky.
"Say, how about after this show I'll fetch you something to eat. Or, would you prefer this knight to escort his princess back home?" It was nothing wrong with flirting. Innocent flirting at least - she cats loved that type of attention. Besides, it didn't seem shameful to do it on Essie, since Romeo found her to be rather...enthralled with him already. He couldn't complain about such. He did love the attention of a Molly's fascination. The show was almost over, and he thought best if they should get back. If he had his way, she wouldn't be going home tonight. At all.
