"Well you're still going to Stand after all of that... and all of what just happened. So even if you're terrified you're still pretty brave." Zelana tilted her head curiously as she watched him, happy that he seemed to still be calm and not kicking her out of his room or trying to run away after the hug. Progress!
After their harrowing experience on the Sands it was a huge relief and a high point to be able to sit there with Quinvalis and think about something else. She looked around to see if she could spot a mirror in his room, but didn't immediately see one so she shrugged off the idea of trying to point things out in his reflection. Instead she started to trace her finger along the scars again on his chest, hoping that would be enough for him to help visualize it. "So right here is the dragon's head, and this swoop is its neck leading to a wing..."
She continued to describe the shapes she found as she traced them, finding it a nice and soothing distraction, at least for a moment. It was hard to forget that they were caused by a baby dragon... and soon enough she'd be standing out there waiting for one as they did whatever they wanted before they bonded with someone. Zelly paused, her hand pressing flat against his chest for a moment to just soak in some comforting warmth. "Can we lay down and cuddle a little while I find shapes? It's fine if you don't want to. I just... I think it would be nice after what happened earlier."
