Morgan sighed out alongside Vigenere as the smaller male joined him. The relief he felt was only short-lived; before he knew it, the yellow cat was asking him a legitimate question. The samoyed almost coughed before thinking of his answer.
"Vigenere, my Vigenere..." He bumped his nose against the Captain's head, looking at his eyes even though they were facing the floor. "The names were a way... a way of thanking you." He didn't quite know how else to word it, but he hoped it was good enough. "But I didn't do this all just for you. There's more to it than that." He lightly tapped the felines's back with his tail and nuzzled his neck to show he didn't mean any offense. Whispering, he continued, "Tanglewood needs a fighting force. You remember how things were before, right? How isolated things felt? If we were attacked by another group, I don't think all of us would have made it."
Morgan suddenly rolled over onto his back, looking at a now upside-down Vigenere. "Ever since the fight in the swamp, I thought you'd be a good fit for our warriors. You have experience... but you're cute, too." He smiled wide and wagged his tail, putting a paw on his belly to invite his boyfriend to lie on top of him for comfort if he wished. He lied in silence for a bit to gather himself. "I hope the changes didn't make your day worse..." He thought back to the beach cleanup. Had Vigenere been holding his thoughts and feelings in the whole time?
