She smiled up at him, reaching up to rest a paw on his cheek, "I'll never be able to repay you.."

He paused not quite knowing how to react to that. "I grew up watching cats without help, indepted to others to the point they weren't free...I'll admit I've dealt my share of misery, gladly, but it's not often I've been able or motivated to help somecat else." He leaned into her hand on his cheek and purred. "Bein' the good guy feels good."

Griddlebone brought her paw down to wrap her arms around him and rest her head on his chest, "I'm glad. I like you like this."

He stiffened at the touch, but relaxed after a moment, running a hand down her back to draw her closer. "Well, not that I'm planning to make a habit of it, I've still got a living to make. If you like it though, I may be more inspired."

"I like you like that when you're with me." She glanced up at him, "You're the closest thing I've got to a hero, 'Tiger."

His heart felt warm at those words, not like the heat of adrenaline or battle...but something softer, something he only felt around her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Anything for you, Milady."

She tilted her head back, stretching up to actually kiss him, "And the same to you, 'Tiger."

He smiled against her lips. "You said you can never repay me? You make me happier than I've ever been. That's enough."

She purred softly at that, "I'm glad. I...I still wish there was more."

"Just be at my side and you'll have repayed me," he said, voice too deep, too loving to be a statement of possession.

She leaned up, kissing his cheek, "As long as I am able."

"And I you, sweet." He meant it, too. Growltiger had never been so happy. He thought of his life, growing up in the London slums under the shadow of Tyburn and the coal mines...and he'd never felt this way before. Joyful, special, and not inclined to plot mayhem for somecat else.

She offered him another smile, "I should get back to work..."
