The warning Josh received made it obvious Lady wasn’t comfortable with him touching her tail. Instantly he drew his hand back, not afraid although of course cautious. “Okay, I won’t touch there anymore, promise.” Josh said to her while taking the towel away and using his hand to scratch between her ears instead. “There you go, I think that’s about it…” Josh looked at her, seeing if any other places would need a bit more extra attention.
“Still, I appreciate it.” Sangre said while adding a few detail of the butterflies wings, the sugar looking almost like a stain glass window, although instead of glass it was made out of pure sugar and colouring. Looking at Akira yet again, Sangre allowed the silence to linger, to allow Akira to calm a bit before he decided to speak. “It’s just nice to hear you speak. It means you’re getting comfortable, and especially that you can do it around me makes me feel privileged.” Sangre smirked. “I feel special.” he chuckled and then went to pipe them together.
