Whatever chaos the world delivers to her feet, Rip knows two things for certain. First, she will die defending what is hers and protect the things she's claimed with every fiber of her being. The second...Is that of everything she's fought hard to attain and all the pain and suffering she's endured or inflicted on others, there is only one person that she would willingly die to protect.
And he happens to be sequestered away in the middle of a forest with her in a log cabin that Rip spent time making habitable before stealing him away from the world.
Currently, Rip was making sure the fireplace was stoked to fend off the cool evening air. Fall was quietly turning into winter and Rip wanted to make sure her pet human was comfortable. Soubi ment everything to her and she would make sure he knew it.

No one else had ever bothered. Not with him.
And now...Now he gets to have her all to himself. And she, him. The cabin feels comfortable and cozy, and he can tell she's worked hard on it. For him. It has him smiling happily as he steps up beside her, then settles at her feet to lean against her as she works to build the fire up.

But, with him here.. all the creature comforts she has built and invested in are all for him. It's just one of the many subtle ways she shows her love for him.
Once the fire is where she wants it, Rip sets aside the poker and glances down at him. Her hand drifts down to stroke his hair, admiring the way he adores her. "Is zhe cabin comfortable enough? It haz been avhile since I vas human so tell me if I haf forgotten anyzhing."

"It's warm and dry. The kitchen is stocked enough I can cook, and the tub is big enough." Which, considering his height, is a good thing!

She expects him to be quick and come back to her. Rip already has blankets set aside for when he comes back. Her mood tonight seems to be lean towards.. cuddly.
For now.

Perhaps he rushes, too. But not at the expense of a healthy meal that still tastes good. Perhaps half an hour passes before he returns.

She was probably going to make him lay there for quite awhile after all while she enjoys the heat. Once he returns, Rip is already sitting among the blankets and pillows. She reaches for him and grabs his wrist to tug him now. She shifts enough to force him to lay down on his back before straddling his hips and snuggling down on top of him.
Rip pulls blankets over them as she lets out a sigh. Her skin is cold to the touch and while it doesn't bother her, it doesn't mean she can't enjoy the heat. Especially when it comes from both the fire and his body heat. "Much better. Did you eat enough?"

The number of pillows and blankets is pure luxury - and then she snuggles down on top of him, completing his delight. He doesn't mind the chill of her body, having grown used to it.
Curling his arms around her, he makes sure the blankets she's pulled over them are in the best possible position.
"Mm, it's nice." Of course he agrees, but also he means it. The fire is nice, and he's pressed down by his owner and precious one. "I did. Are you hungry?"

She could drink the whole world dry and still feel like she's starving. It's that unquenchable thirst that drives her to kill most nights.
Except, she's careful when it comes to her beloved pet. If he were to die because she drank too much, she'd never forgive herself.
After a moment she reaches for his wrist to pull it towards her mouth. Fangs press against his flesh. Her bite is unpleasant and her fangs were meant for rendering flesh as much as drinking blood, and yet.. she's careful as she can be with him. Rip knows he enjoys the pain but, she doesn't want to permanently damage her pet.
At least, not in a way that could hinder him.
