[ Hei lets off an approving hum into the curve of Korra's neck as she squirms in his lap, shifting until she's straddling him. The unfamiliar kitchen, its cheery lights and aromas, make everything feel new and bright and freshly complex, and all Hei can think to do is throw himself into it -- to lick into Korra's mouth, chasing after the traces of her meal, and her own particular flavor, to bite her lips, slip his hands under her hoodie and coast them across her warm bare skin. ]
[ But absorbed as he is by the sweet bundle of girl in his arms, the scritch scritch hits his ears with the force of an alarm. He's already tensing, hyper-alert and watching for threats, when Korra breaks the kiss to chastise ... a dog. A greedy, dopey-looking dog. Hei's eyebrow twitches; his lips part to say something. But he's cut off when a second pet comes flouncing in. ]
[ What the hell...? ]
[ Frustrated, he slips his hands off Korra's body. Sets her firmly on her feet, before rising with a little scowl. ]
