Because you're family - Sunflower Beach

She wouldn't object to being touched, not one bit.
"That's good... that's, that's really good otherwise I probably would've sounded crazy talking like this about someone I've only known for a few months" because heavens they'd moved fast... Though, if it felt right, that wasn't a bad thing was it?

She smiled and pulled the girl close, Serene moving so that she was more comfortable on top of both of them.

"Ye dinna sound crazy. I ken wha' tis t' love. I'll ne'er love any but me Jeromy. Nay tha' way."

Good thing she liked cuddles, because it looked like they were a cuddling kind of family, which really did suit the Caitiff just fine as she returned the gesture with a hug as she leaned against the other woman with a smile.
The panther too got cuddles.

"So you don't think I'm nuts saying he's the love of my life?" she chuckled softly.

She laughed.

"Nay at all. Tis sweet. An' likely true."

"I know I haven't felt like this before. I mean, I've been in love before but this? This is different. Medwyn's different" the blond said softly, scratching the panther behind the ears while leaning against Grace. "I'm lucky... lucky he wants me" Teddy smiled, looking up the Gangrel.

She gave the woman a squeeze.

"Ye'll fit in our family just fine. An' if any gi' ye trouble for bein' a Caitiff, ye dinna dare hesitate t' call on me t' set 'em straight. Aye?"

"You sure? I mean, I'm kinda used to it. I'd be more worried about people giving Medwyn heat because of me" and that would bother her...

"I'm a scary barbarian an' ye be family. Me family will nay be touched, or thought less o'. Or I will ken why."

The blond responded by wrapping her arms around said barbarian.
"Thank you... and sorry. I'm still a bit shellshocked to have met a Prince who doesn't seem to care that I'm a stray. And to find he has a family as accepting as him?" she gave the other woman a light squeeze. "This is all a lot more than I deserve..."

She put a hand under the woman's chin.

"Why d' ye say tha'?"

The blond looked up, offering her a gentle smile.
"He... he just deserves better alright?" she said softly. "And I'm just..." Teddy shrugged. "Just me"

She shook her head.

"Ye're perfect, just th' way ye are."

Her expression softened as she moved a hand to gently rest on Grace's wrist with a light touch.
"That's what he says..." she whispered softly.

She nods.

"Then believe it, love."

Teddy nodded gently.
"Trying to" she smiled.

She smiled.

"Good. We'll all be tellin' ye tha' ye are worth't til ye d'."

She couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey, I really am trying" the blond smiled. "The last thing I want anyone to think is that I'm ungrateful"

She kissed the girl's cheek.

"Love, we dinna think tha'. An' we're tryin' t' help ye."

"Thanks..." Teddy whispered softly again. "It's a nice feeling. To be part of his family.."

Serene rumbled and lifted up to lick Teddy's face.

"Ye're pack. Ye're family. We'll love ye no matter wha'."

Ack. Sandpaper cat tongue. It resulted in a bit of a giggle flail.
"Will you do me a favour? If I ever do or say anything you don't like, you'll tell me, right? I can handle the truth a lot better than drama"

She laughed.

"O' course. I dinna keep me feelin's t' meself."

"Good. That's good" she sighed with a smile, resting against her for a few more moments before seemingly realizing something.
"Oh, but I'm being a terrible host. Can I get you anything? Or kitty here maybe?" the blond scratched the panther again.

She just held her close.

"Nay, lass. We both be fine. We just want th' pleasure o' ye're company."

The fact that the woman's arms were still around her kept her from bouncing to her feet to grab something anyways. Probably just as well, for some reason she felt quite relaxed as they were.

Teddy gave her a light nod and smiled.
"If there's anything you wanna know you need only ask by the way. I'm no good at talking about myself, but I realize as family you probably got a bunch of questions"
