Affection did not come easy to the large male. His mother was the only one who showed it, and sure, she was not afraid to do so. But the lack of affection outside of her, with no siblings and being somewhat outcast socially, it was simply a surprising thing to encounter on his sudden trip to another world. Was everyone more physical, or was it just this situation? The lick on the cheek was appreciated, and he certainly decided he liked the affection when it was freely given, yet dare not ask for it.

The woman agreed to finding a spot to rest for the rest of the night. The stars were important story holders, but sleep still came to take us all. He savored the touch as long as she allowed it, but accepted that passing of the moment as she pulled apart. Molten eyes get a better look at her interesting fur, in a pattern he had never seen before. He was quite taken by it, considering how different it was from his homeland. Yet the man did not stare long, turning his head to look at the forest.

He had never had to find a place to sleep that was not his den with his mother. The warmth of home was no longer offered, and the lack of experience was showing through the cracks. He takes a step or two forward, but in the end knew not what to do. He could guess, but knowledge is a thing to be shared. If Devika knew the way, he should follow her.

”If you know the path to a fitting sleep, grant this one the honor of following. In such matters… this one holds little wisdom,” he says, perhaps a touch of hesitation in his voice, but ultimately he tries his best to keep his confidence up. He knows that he cannot know everything, and needs to remind himself not to be ashamed. His limbs were ready to follow, but he was also prepared for if he needed to figure it out.
