Lox twitched ever so slightly when he felt Bly held his tail gently in her hand, doing his damn best not wriggle or squirm on the bed as she helped detach the little butterfly from his tail tip, and smiled at the look of joy on her face as she watched them dance in the palms of her hands. Hopefully she hadn't seen too much of his twitch, all of the extra features he had were usually sensitive at best and extremely touchy at worst which was part of the reason why it drove him utterly insane when something bit his ears. What truly made him grin like a cat was seeing her own bright happy smile that she soon covered with her hands to hide, but after seeing it he had already decided to make it his business to try and make her smile like that a lot more often. They both had their own dark secrets, things that they buried away but still haunt there minds in gloomier times but even though he could see quite a beautiful woman beside him when she wished to be he was taken aback by her next words. It seemed that somehow he was able to undermine her outward shell and get to the real Bly she kept so closely guarded, and while they shared some of their darkest moments it looked like he really did find a kindred spirit to be his friend. Uncurling from his spot he slowly moved closer to her in the smooth graceful way only a cat could manage before looking into her startled eyes just a few inches shy of each other. I'm just a lonely ally cat Bly, and I think I'm going to love being your friend but maybe it's like the old saying goes. Every witch needs a cat for her house, maybe I'm supposed to be your cat. Raising himself up a bit he very gently tilted his head and smoothly nuzzled her forehead with his soft right ear, purring in a subtle way before crawling off the bed and pulling the box of critters out again. I have a funny feeling that she won't be satisfied with just one pair, and I'll be damned if she tries to take more than just two but I'm responsible for destroying that other one so I guess fairs fair. With a hand to help her up he looked about the room one last time before taking some of his more fragile trinkets off his bed and putting them to the side before heading down stairs and closing the door behind them. When they did reach the kitchen where his friend and the wayward dragoness was Lox had a mind to flatten his ears once more and coil his tail around his waist underneath his shirt so they wouldn't suspect anything but snorted at the sight before them. Meric had seemingly passed out again and was sleeping with his head in his arms but the dragon being bored was poking him with the tip of her tail to get him to wriggle, and even slap at himself to deter a pesky bug. I would think after what happened earlier he wouldn't sleep in the presence of a dragon. Noir looked up at the pair and smiled deviously. He didn't go to sleep, I found some sleeping herbs on the wall when I was looking about and slipped them into his tea. He was all dreary and moppy so it's more fun playing with him like this. With a few swift pokes she had him nearly thrashing before the effects of the tea kicked in to continue his deep slumber. Rubbing his eyes tiredly he looked around and found one missing from their earlier encounter and turned to Bly. Speaking of friends, where did yours run off to? Was there too many shenanigans for her to deal with? Looking at Noir he caught her beside Meric about to invade his personal space and more than likely traumatize him with her tongue poked out towards his ear when she spied the box and left off tormenting him. Oooooooh. What's in the box? Figures she'd come away with anything Lox was carrying, so with a heavy sigh he placed the box on the table and let the critters inside loose to roam about it's lenght. You can pick only one, and it's mate will follow it but no more! It actually made Lox chuckle to see a pair of swans apparently nesting in Meric's hair.
