The scents mingled toward the center of the house, creating a new smell that was sharp but not unpleasant. Macklyn inhaled deeply as he walked through to where Eric was waiting.
He peered in around the door, his smile a bit nervous. "I got you a gift." He started. "It might not... well. I didn't know how you'd feel about it. I hope it's not a bad thing."
That was a hell of a way to introduce the idea of a present, and Macklyn sighed at himself.
"I've also been to speak to your ... twin. I think the three of us should sit down together. I said as much to him." He hoped that Eric would realize from that statement that nothing ill had happened to the other one.
Having run out of things to delay the gift with, Macklyn stepped fully into the kitchen with his mate. He moved closer and brought the kitten from behind his back. He held the tiny creature between them, waiting for Eric's reaction.
