[Oh that smile is kind of strange but it's nice? What is this, when did he get to be nice? Is this because of their arrangement or did something else happen that she's not aware of?
Please ignore her for a moment while she just looks at him with wide eyes at this realization. Weeeeeeeird.
Luckily it doesn't last too long as the hand in her hair gets her to calm down once more, actually shifting to push further into his hand with a pleased little noise.]
Very good~ Keep doing that and you can even wrap your fingers lightly in it if you want. [Eventually he's going to have to deal with her ears, but that's a problem for later Lydia.]
[ It's the dream shit, it gave him feelings. I mean, it's slow going, but when you discover being sad, you also discover being happy? Who knew, right? ]
Understood.
[ And Xenk does as he's bid, holding and wrapping the hair through his palm, strands so fine they cascade down his lap and slide easily between his fingers.
He's gonna notice the ears. He stills when he does, but he kind of just keeps it going. He'd seen people with pointed ears in one of his memories. If Lydia is one of those, then..... okay. ]
[Who would have guessed this is how Xenk learns to have emotions! She's not going to complain in the slightest because he feels like a human instead of some weird kind of alien trying to pretend to have human emotions.
Oh, she notices his stilling, a brow raising in question. The whole ears thing, she assumes, since she'd mostly come to terms with it by now, it's... still weird to some people. He hasn't really seen her since then, has he?]
It is. Evidently a genetic thing. [She... assumes. Her mom's hair seemed similar enough to how her own is now.] Also I'm guessing you notice the, uh, addition there?
[Incredible! The awkward is more cute and endearing when he's not being an entire dick about things, so all thing sin balance.
Though when she's about to answer is when his thumb and forefinger finds the tip of an ear and she immediately has a full body shiver and squirming a bit under his touch. It's not in a sexual kind of way, however, more that it just feels good in general.]
Be careful, they're sensitive. [Meaning a good target to get her on the off foot.] Mm. They just appeared like this one morning not too long after the whole goat burning fiasco. Unsure why, but no one has said much otherwise about them. [Except her blood bond idiot, but that was to be expected considering the panic initially.] Do you think they look odd?
[It's absolutely interesting and at least the touch this time has her more melting into his lap and shifting just a bit to get more contact with those fingers. She's certainly enjoying it, which is far more than she expected she would.]
In a memory? I was certain these were only something you head of in stories. [Certainly she's curious and she has the time to indulge in this if he wishes, as long as he keeps up the attention, she certainly has nowhere else to go that's important.]

Your hair is quite fine.

Your ears are pointed, where they were once round.
[ He slides his hands up, then around, to take one of those pointed tips between his thumb and forefinger, rubbing the soft cartilage. ]
Is this some manner of modification to your ears?

I see.
[ He touches them again. For science. Or perhaps he just wants Lydia to feel good? He's not selfish. ]
They are not odd. I have seen similar ears before, in a memory.
