...Really?

[And now there's some hair to join the horn peeking out!]

[bestestfurrend]

Really really! I promise!

[She holds one hand out.] Come sit with me on the bench?

[aim_exorable]

...Okay.

[He starts to wiggle out from beneath the bench, hair a bit more of a mess than usual. No go on the hand holding, unfortunately. He still seems fairly embarrassed.]

[bestestfurrend]

What you just did for me was really nice! And brave too! It means a lot to me, Chiron.

[aim_exorable]

Even if...?

[He trails off, ears a bit low.]

[bestestfurrend]

There aren't any even ifs! I do have a matesprit, like I said, and I am flushed for him, but I care about you too! Friends do nice things for each other as well, you know.

[aim_exorable]

Even things like this?

[bestestfurrend]

There's no reason why not. It just won't count as courting. But friends give each other presents all the time, just to see each other smile.

[aim_exorable]

Alright...

[Still rather awkward and flushed a deep blue, he tucks some of his hair behind his ear.]

I do like seein' you happy...

[bestestfurrend]

[Yep, this sure is Nepeta flinging her arms around his neck in a hug.]

You make me very, very happy!

[aim_exorable]

[Squeak! Actually, more like a startled neigh. He stays very very still as she hugs him.]

[bestestfurrend]

[The hug lasts for a little while, accompanied by much petting of his hair.]

I'm really glad I got to meet you, you know.

[aim_exorable]

[Oh dear, he is the eternal sucker for hair petting.]/small>

I'm really glad I got to meet you, too. This is an alright place to be...

[bestestfurrend]

Sometimes it's the bestest place.

[There are lots more pettings where those came from!]

[aim_exorable]

[The bestest? Ignoring how that is not grammatically sound, Chiron thinks on it.]

Have you been here a long time?

[bestestfurrend]

Quite a while! More than half a sweep, now.

[aim_exorable]

Oh...

[It's strange to imagine that he might be here for that long, and without his lusus, too.]

Don't you miss Alternia?

[bestestfurrend]

Well...a bit. I miss my cave, and hunting out in the wilds.

[Of course she'd not going to tell him that Alternia is gone in her time.]

But everyone I care about is here! And it's a pretty safe place, and we're happy most of the time, so I don't mind staying.

[aim_exorable]

Oh. I guess it's not bad then.

[A horrible thought occurs to him.]

Does the Empress know about this place?

[bestestfurrend]

It's not!

[She shakes her head vigorously.]

Oh, no, don't worry, she doesn't. I think it's in a completely different universe from ours anyway.

[aim_exorable]

Oh, okay.

[A beat.]

I mean, it's not good, because every troll owes it to the Empress, but I'm not sure if she would like it.

[bestestfurrend]

...purrobably not. But it's not like we chose to be here, so it's okay to make the most of it. I'm absolutely pawsitive about that!

[aim_exorable]

If you're sure.

[Now let him enjoy headpats.]

[bestestfurrend]

I am!

[She is just going to tug him closer for all the soothing hairstroking.]
