There had been an inkling in the back of her mind that this might have been what it was leading to, and yet Nepeta still found herself shocked to find the words coming out of Kanaya's mouth. Roleplay scenario or no it was clear that this came from somewhere genuine...and so of course she would give a genuine answer in return.

After wiping the shock from her face (or at the very least, as best as she could. Her eyes were still wide and there was a definite blush in her cheeks and quiver in her lips) she began to approach Kanaya at her throne.

"You speak of yourself as a taint, whereas I only see joy in everything that you are, and everything that you have brought into mine own life."

Her hands gently cupped Kanaya's left hand.

"What you speak of...it is something I too, have longed fur." Crap. "For."
