Halomirth rumbled happily, delighted by the petting no matter how light it may have been. She had been right, Quinvalis was good at pets - as usual, her instinct on the matter was correct. It was mildly disappointing when he stopped, but that was okay because it looked like he needed to sit down. Halomirth listened intently as Quinvalis explained why he was feeling upset, crooning every so often in reassurance that she was paying attention and cared about what he was saying. By the time he was finished, ending with a sigh, Halomirth had shifted so that her head was resting on the ground beside Quinvalis so he could continue petting her head of he wanted to. Having let him say what he needed to for the moment, she spoke up.
You seem pretty special to me, she said, gently brushing his leg with her nose, And struggling to talk with people doesn’t mean you’re not special. My rider has a lot of trouble talking with people, and he’s very special. F’drel sighed softly, though he didn’t argue. It was true that he was terrible at communication, and in this case he didn’t mind Halomirth telling Quinvalis that about him. Though if she got too personal he may have to stop her. For the moment, though, F’drel was content to just let Miri chat with Quinvalis.
I’m sorry, Halomirth said softly, Are you sure it’s too late? You said you were friends, so she clearly likes you, and you are special. If you haven’t asked her, how can you be sure? The situation confused her. If they were friends why wouldn’t she know Quinvalis liked her?
’Fly-like, Miri,’ F’drel thought at her by way of explanation, and Halomirth made a noise of understanding, though she was still a little puzzled. If he hadn’t chased her even though he wanted to and someone else caught her, he could still be with her, couldn’t he? She didn’t fully understand how human relationships worked, and F’drel wasn’t overly helpful on the matter. He didn’t like talking about it and said he wasn’t in any, though he let D’hys catch him sometimes (’End of that line of thought, Miri, thank you,’) and he hadn’t dated or been mated to anyone so Halomirth had no first hand span of reference for this sort of problem. Halomirth hummed, thinking.
I don’t think you can say for sure she’s not interested in being with you until you’ve talked to her, she decided after a moment of consideration.
