Talian was perfectly happy with what he was given. He'd never known Val to be overly-cuddly, but just being allowed to sit next to him and maybe hold hands would have been enough. When his sweet friend made a move to lightly hold him, it filled the spent healer with delight. He leaned over and pressed his nose against Valerian's neck, nuzzling him softly before peeling away and simply letting his chin rest. Content in their loose embrace, Talian let out a lazy sigh.
"I agree," he said, still unable to warn the warm blush off his face. "I've been sort of shy about it, I suppose," he said. A lot had happened, and for a while the young man hesitant to even think about having consensual sex with someone. It no longer seemed special or intriguing like it was supposed to. All it did was bring up bad memories. That didn't stop his emotional attachments from flourishing, though. If anything, it meant that this was even more special now. All of those months of skittish trepidation were washed away and replaced with what was possibly the most special intimate encounter Talian had ever experienced.
"I'm really glad it was with you, Val. I can't think of anyone who would have made it more special. It feels good to not be afraid anymore..." He smiled and relaxed against his friend. The fire lizards' antics were a pleasant backdrop, but Talian shared Val's keen observation on the voyeurism of their little pets. Fellis had been entirely delighted by the act, and not unlike a little Veeth, Tal almost felt like he was encouraging him to do it again.
"I...would like to do this again sometime, Val," Talian said bashfully. He reminded himself not to apologize; after what had just happened, Talian figured Val liked his forwardness. His eyes drifted to Fellis, who abandoned the pile of clothes in favor of settling on the very edge of the table with Vex and Quill, crooning softly as if asking to join them. Fellis wanted to cuddle with someone, too!
