As it turned out, luxere loved crackers. This thrilled me - I wanted to know everything I could about, well, everything, but especially the fauna of this world. The small deer creatures were pretty obliging so far in my attempts to lure them near, to prove that I am a friend, a kind fellow who only wants to know more so that he can help in the future. They were magical - their glowing antlers made that obvious - and I couldn't help but wonder if that changed their physiology, their way of healing. Could they even fall prey to injury, to pain? So many questions - I would have my answers, no doubt in one of Jigano's books, one day.
I grinned innocently as Kia's gaze looks at the feasting luxere at my feet and then upwards to meet my eyes, feeling very much like I was being scrutinised, albeit in a kindly, playful way. There was something behind those eyes, something deep and far more intense than before - did they flicker into the shape of a feline's, or was that just the way the light struck them, the way her eyelids squinted around them slightly as she threw her piercing stare directly into my own? She deigns to make no further comment on the matter though, instead proceeding to accept my offer of a drink and make her way deeper into the sitting room, shedding some layers as she goes.
I do similar, removing my many-pocketed leopard seal coat, and the fleecy layer beneath it (not before I transfer more biscuits into another still-accessible pocket, however), leaning them on the back of the chair I would eventually sit in. From a cupboard I gather cups and wine and water - while I was slowly gaining a taste for the wine here, I still had terrible tolerance for alcohol, and so I poured myself a water and Kia a wine. Handing her the cup, I take a seat nearby, taking a moment to simply enjoy before launching us back into conversation.
"So it's a date then," I grin cheekily, making the declaration with confidence and certainty. "After Deepfrost, you give me a tour of the world while I take care of the camp," I lift my cup in a sort of toast, my gaze asking curiously if she would join me.
