Keeps me together | Rhinestone

[Onyxdreams]

~ ☼ The steadying paw from her father came just in time, catching the kit as she stumbled near the end of her approach. Nearly falling failed to bring down her mood however, giving her best, most practiced smile to her papa, being careful not to show too much of her fangs, just like she had been taught. An odd sound rumbled out from her throat, somewhere between a purr and a hiss, but still obviously a happy sound, as she gazed up at the serval. A few seconds were spent parsing out the words spoken to her, words coming much more quickly then they had only a month prior, but still slowly. "'m fine" She would have been fine, even if she had fallen, tumbles like that had never really hurt her much before.

Onyx was more then happy to accept the attention she was given, her own odd purr growing louder at the touch, wings rustling at her sides. She always enjoyed these kinds of moments with her papa, and it was especially reassuring to hear these things from him after he had changed so much. "Mmm....warm 'nough" came her eventual reply, shifting enough to rustle her blanket against the sands a bit to make her point. It wasn't exactly cold, but it wasn't what she would have called warm either, there was a word for that, she knew there was, but she just couldn't find it. At least the fur covered pieces of her were warm, and the rest of her could be covered by that blanket, she just needed to make sure to keep her tails off the sand was all, and she was fine to go out for a bit.

Gaze shifting from Rhinestone to the form of a few other creatures from where he had just been, watching the two of them. Oh...had he been talking with them, was he busy right now? "You...busy?" she asked, hoping that maybe she hadn't interrupted something, that her papa could stay and talk with her for a bit. Whatever they were talking about, they could just do it later, couldn't they? Oh, or, if it was really important, she could just go with him while they talked, she could be quiet, she had spent an entire day before without making a sound, they wouldn't even know she was there!
