His hankimono and hakama join his armor - as do his boots. Then he is as bare as she is, his lean, muscled body free of scars. The markings on his cheeks are repeated on his arms and his sides, so that he almost looks like he has stripes.

He has no trouble showing her exactly what he wants. Lifting her, he carries her to his fur and lays her back on it. Yes, it is as fluffy as it looks. Then he crawls over her and claims her lips in a demanding kiss.
