▖ ❝ That’s a shame. ❞ Well, tastes are tastes. She likes tea as well but prefers coffee when the temperature starts to drop. She proceeds to take a sip before even replying, not minding the question at all. It was something she had to answer time and time again.
❝Are you familiar with bats? Well, they emit unaudible sounds for humans and how they bounce from objects is used by them to understand their surroundings. Dolphins do the same and I do the same. You’re scratching the back of your head right now. ❞ He was always like this? Well, that explained the posture but it must suck for his back, right?
❝ These aren’t just for show, you see. ❞ A confident smile shining on her lips as her finger pointed towards her ears. Imponent, gallant, dignified. Those were the beautiful, fluffy pointy ears she sported, her greatest pride.
The urge to interject and blurt ‘’course I know what bats are, they are such cute darn little creatures’ was verrry strong. But he simply holds back for now, nodding and trying his best to understand all the words she was using. Still, he knew the name of those two animals very well. And as the realization creeps up with him, the hand in the back of his head freezes in place, a stunned expression overwhelming his features. “What the -- I was...” Sounds... bouncing off objects... That had to be... “That’s like... Emulsion, right?” Aaand completely off the mark.
Well, maybe it wasn’t for show and helped her see(?) but that still didn’t explain why her eyes were closed??? But ever easily distracted, as her finger points to her large ears, his very curious gaze fixates on them. Soft... Fluffly... Those are the only things that come to his mind and instinctively, a hand rises slowly -- their fingers itching to pet them. Beads of sweat start to form on his forehead and he swallows before taking a step forward.
“They look uh, sof -- well groomed... What can you... What kinda stuff can you do with ‘em?”
