[ The wyvern is not quite like a cat, but she does seem to react positively to a hand being extended. There's a moment where she seems to be sizing Beau up, assessing the threat, before walking over to
sniff and then lick her hand with her bloody tongue. ]
Sahar. Sorry, she's a little gross after she eats.
[ He doesn't sound very sorry, and there's nothing but fondness and amusement coming from him as he watches her accept the scritches, pressing her snout into Beau's hand before stepping even closer, examining her with loud snuffles. ]
[ He grins a little, the happiness that radiates off Beau lifting his own spirits.
Sahar only has a sweet of hind legs with powerful claws tipping her feet, so she can't quite climb atop Beau, but she invades her space nonetheless. Until she leans back again spreading out white wings with delicate pink webbing. ]
[sometimes animal therapy is nice! she seems a little less like she wants to die, so that's good!]
Yeah, definitely worth it. Having a companion around like this is nice. [a beat, and then, joking:] I only ever get to cuddle t-rexes for an hour at a time.
[she never used to be a touchy person, but it turns out that once you realize you're touch-starved, you want more, maybe!]
Just a hand on an arm helps. [...] Back home, Caleb can use his magic to see through his cat's eyes. While he's doing that he can't sense anything else, so he usually grabs at me to keep him steady.
[she smiles a little.] It's nice to be trusted. Haven't had a lot of that before.

She's showing off.
no subject
Did you get her back with vouchers?
no subject
Yeah. She cost a pretty penny too- 8 vouchers. But it was worth it. Missed having a friend from home.

no subject
What? Cuddling Caleb at his normal isn't worth it?
no subject
Definitely not, it's like trying to hug a bar of soap.

He's not big on touch. It's fine, he's got his reasons. [there's just this like, wave of fierce protectiveness.]
no subject
To be honest, I'm much the same. But I've learned that a small touch can go a long way since coming here.

No? But you were travelling with quite a close group, weren't you?
no subject
no subject
Oh, I see. And you were... alone before?
no subject
... Yeah, something like that. [she says, but - it's not very sad. she's pretty neutral on it, these days. maybe a little angry, sometimes.
and then, flatly:] I lived in my dad's house until he had me kidnapped by monks.
no subject
... That's a very strange way to show fatherly affection.
no subject
Yeah, that's a word for it. It's - whatever. I was a dick of a kid, he wasn't great as a dad, things worked out.
