[ hm... hmhm... foot tap... he'll step closer, swanning in just slightly, hands behind his back now. he's definitely within reach, just hovering. this is amusing... ]
[ a bare hand for a bandaged hand. he takes it gently, fingers curling around his hand. no doubt, it feels good too--kaeya feels that aggressive pull truly settle in his palms as he settles their hands together, like an arrow through his gut. after last week, well. maybe it's just comforting. polaris meanwhile is content to nip and nuzzle and teeth, licking happily at niah's contentedness. ]
Suddenly getting familiar because we’re holding hands?
[ He doesn’t genuinely think that’s it, considering how Polaris normally acts. It’s also. A joke, actually. He’s making a joke? Niah accepts it with happy tail wags thumping against the floor, something he… Never does.
His thumb brushes against whatever skin available, hesitant yet curious. Joonghyuk desperately wants to fight these strange sensations. With comfort comes heightened murderous intent, but he leans in to nuzzle the side of Kaeya’s head again. ]
[ a laugh. it gets a laugh, a breath as he pushes in and nuzzles his head once more. he's like a cat! an actual cat, who would prefer to touch and be touched on his own terms. fine. at least the sword is away... and the hand in his shoots warmth up his arm, the good kind instead of the sting of an old burn.
he stays still, returning the press only towards the end. his fingers curl a little more securely. ]
You won't pull your sword on me then.
[ squeezes. a little closer. slower than before this time. just testing. ]
[ Joonghyuk is very stray feral animal adjacent. He stays pressed here, savoring the close proximity. If he thinks about it, it's been a long while since he indulged in the comforts of little touches. ]
I won't as long as you know your place.
[ The words are sharp yet his actions betray it. Pulling back, he lifts up their joined hands so he can gently brush his cheek against Kaeya's knuckles and curled fingers. ]
[ the cheek to the back of his knuckles makes him smile a touch more. polaris has managed to get up from the tangle on the ground, if only to walk the way wolves tend to do, pressed side by side and trying to mouth happily at niah's jaw, nudging and pressing and pawing at him. ]
Quite a bit... it's not the worse curse we could have placed on us, don't you think? What if we all lost one of our senses? Or suddenly had animal ears and tails? Or suddenly none of us could talk? I'd find those frustrating...
Except maybe the ears and tail business.
[ i can't believe ppl debate catboys and their rights later. ]

[ But he will take off a glove and offer it to Kaeya. Bare hand. ]

Except Niah also gently chomps his neck playfully. It is gentle. ]
