For a sea otter, there was nothing more reassuring than a hand in hers.

It was a promise, that she won't be left alone when she opens her eyes, that there will always be someone there with her.

So she never even considers letting go even as they exchange kisses and it's...nice. Really, really nice. She made sure to not look Eagle directly in the eyes so she didn't accidentally ruin the moment, but she couldn't quite bring herself to close her eyes, either.

He looked so happy and it did ridiculous things to her heart to know that the happiness there was because of her.

After the second kiss she leans forward to rub noses with Eagle with a smile.
