Well... exactly!
And it's an honor to be able to help, especially if it means being able to show more of the wonders of this planet.

→I didn’t expect such a simple gesture to trigger that kind of response. If we really do share traits with felines... maybe there are more dormant instincts than I thought.

• His gaze sharpens slightly, more analytical now. •

Feel free to continue your observations. It might prove... useful.

• Koda keeps his eyes on her for a few seconds, a slight furrow in his brow. He speaks in a neutral, yet attentive tone. •

...That was an involuntary reaction.

• He brings a hand to the back of his neck, as if still trying to process it. The cheeks slightly flushed.•

• He peeked at her with narrowed eyes, trying to read if she was serious or teasing. •

Appreciate you keeping it between us…

• He crossed his arms with a dramatic sigh, turning slightly away, clearly still embarrassed, but not mad about it. •

→ Then, to his own horror (and hers, maybe) a soft, involuntary purring sound escaped him. He froze, eyes wide, as if betrayed by his own instincts. •

…That wasn’t me-

• He muttered quickly, cheeks warming up as he shifted his gaze to the side. •

Must’ve been… some strange Earth noise!

• Koda flinched slightly at first, clearly not used to such gestures. But as her hand gently rubbed his head, his body relaxed, shoulders sinking just a bit.

• He walks toward the Viltrumite woman with hesitant steps, and once he's close enough, he stops and looks around. He definitely didn’t want to be seen purring like a cat, if that actually worked. •

• He runs a hand through his hair and sighs. •

You're right, obviously it's me... I can accept being a example but I don't think it will lead to anything.

• He looks at her in the same second and adjusts his posture. •

M-me.. ?

That's a great suggestion...I've never noticed such behavior.

So....

Do we purr too?....

It would be extremely embarrassing.

. . . .

Do felines hunt this too??? It's kind of... interesting.

• He looks back at the dot and his pupils dilate again. •

• He glances sideways at Thula.•

Are you an ally of this enemy on the ground?
