~S-stubborn, me? Ha...!~ she tried to look cool, brushing it off like it was nothing and closing her eyes, trying to be smug. ~Wull...jus a little...mebby...~ She confessed, peeking back at him and biting her lip, smiling that shy smile again.
~Mm...okay then...~ she nodded obediently, and warily reached out to him as he swam past, looking for someplace to grab. After taking a moment to decide, her tendrils wrapped around his neck and held her close, her frontside squished against him nervously, her round cheek against him as well. That blue blush lit her face as she took a breath to relax, and Kanoa could feel that sensation again as she held onto him. It was a strangely mischievous feeling, the bond that her body of darkness was able to create. Yet, beyond that, he could feel more of her emotions, her giddiness, her bashfulness, even the sly side she hadn't expressed fully yet.
Skrylet clung tighter when he picked up speed and her sleeved hands even curled up to him, fingertips gently grazing his body. What an interesting texture. His scales were small and tightly knitted, like a large serpent, or eel, so smooth and soft. She liked it, and her fingertips explored more of it, her hesitation draining away as comfort settled in. Dragons sure were majestic creatures, in their own frightening way.
~Wow...Kanoa does not feel liek I espected...~ she whispered, curiosity showing in her again. ~I had assumed Kanoa was coarse en rigid..." she went on softly as he carried her along effortlessly, cheek still planted cozily against him. With the contact, Kanoa would also feel that her body was as soft as it looked, supple and smooth all over as she squished against him. Even her horns even flexed against him. They were a little deceiving in appearance. They were a soft cartilage-like substance, and could be pushed and bent, returning to their original state. Her whole body was like this in fact. She could soften her bones to contort her body further, allowing her to slip free from prey or even fit into unusually tight places with ease. Even her tail was boneless, just like her tendrils, making her every bit more kraken-like.
