[resistetmords]

[So this request didn't seem sketchy at all! But, well a quest is still a quest, and it's one she doesn't have to do much to complete. So...!]

You look so sweet that you'd put Neuhaus chocolates to shame.

[There was a small, embarrassed giggle that follows suit.]

Hm... I'm not sure about that one. Oh, how about, "I'd take you on tour down my river Meuse~."

[ Gareth gave a soft chuckle, nodding in agreement. ]

I don't know how old Stoirm truly is, but she definitely carries herself with this air of wisdom and nobility that are the marks of a proper pack mother.

I don't... really mind, if she wants to think of me that way.

[resistetmords]

It's quite nice to be treated like that sometimes. Isn't it? Especially if you're not feeling well.

It can really help you feel better.

[beaumains]

I suppose so... I'm not exactly used to maternal care, even if it's from a wolf.

[ A small sigh. No... no, she was going to try not to dwell on that. ]

Let's have some of that dessert, shall we?

[resistetmords]

Oh, yes! I hope you enjoy! It's something I was going to add to the menu.

[beaumains]

[ Gareth takes up the plate, fork ready to help herself to a bite. It's a small piece, but enough to get all the good bits in a single mouthful. A haumph, and she begins to chew...

Her ears immediately perk up, tail whipping, a pleased hum. ]

[resistetmords]

[That reaction gets another fit of giggles! Ah, and that tail... those ears! The sheer excitement that Gareth was showing got Anri to beam.]

Haha, I take it you like it?

[beaumains]

It's wonderful! It's a truly ideal mix of sweetness and texture!

[ She could tell her animal bits were singing a song for Anri's eyes, but honestly, how could she mute her reaction? It was really good pie! ]

[resistetmords]

[She happily watches Gareth eat before taking a piece for herself. Why Gareth, why do you gotta be this cute!?]

Heh~, that's some high praise~! Thank you!

[A beat, before she decides to ask the most IMPORTANT question on her mind.]

Do you mind if I pet your tail by the way? Oh, or take pictures... or both?

[This is a matter of utmost importance!]

[beaumains]

[ Gareth's ears twitched, and she gave out a small sigh. Well, she knew this was coming, at least. ]

No pictures, please, but... help yourself to touching, if you like.

[ She wasn't about to say out loud how much she enjoyed being pet in this form. It was awkward enough around Kadoc or Gawain, but at least Anri knew where Gareth's boundaries were... ]

[resistetmords]

Thanks, no pictures though. Promise.

[She hesitates for a moment. What would be the best way to get floofing here? Gareth is still Gareth, and she'd hate to make her uncomfortable!

...Right! Hands immediately go to start giving those wolf ears some pets and rubs as she noms on that pie!]

Heh~, they're really soft!

[beaumains]

[ She eventually finished what mouthfulls she had, setting the dish back down and leaning into Anri's attentions with a gentle, content sigh. Her tail wagged a bit more lazily now, simply basking in the simple affection and feeling herself slowly melt against the other woman. ]

[resistetmords]

[Ah, so cute~! She continues to pat her head before petting that wagging tail.]

So what did you think of the pie?

[beaumains]

It had a balanced sweetness... a perfectly buttery crust... [ Oh she was just butter, herself, under Anri's hands. It was hard to resist the instinct of just nuzzling herself against the other woman so she just... didn't. She didn't resist at all. Why not indulge a little? It was fine, she supposed. Just enjoying this new, bestial part of herself, rather than feeling ashamed of it... ]

[resistetmords]

[If she wanted to nuzzle that was fine. It was nice honestly, since arriving she hasn't been able to enjoy close contact like this. It made her miss her friends and family. Hands continued to pat pat.]

Mm, the apples weren't too tart I hope. They'd just finished ripening, so I was afraid they might not have been very sweet.

[beaumains]

They aren't particularly sweet, but I think I like it better that way.

[ Her words were a murmur, lost in the sweet, sweet bliss of Anri's attentions. She really was like a puppy, in so many ways, even if she didn't particularly liked to be called as such... but like this? This was fine. This was... more than fine, even. This felt indulgent, but she adored it, and felt more relaxed than she had been in some time, just letting herself be given free affection. ]

[resistetmords]

A bit of sour or bitterness does help to balance out the flavors.

[She continues to pet for a moment longer. Before leaning down to grab a slice for herself, a hand still on Gareth's head. Letting the girl enjoy herself for as long as she wanted.]

[beaumains]

[ She hadn't been... tired. Not really. At least not in a way that had been noticeable. But something about the warmth of Anri, the gentleness of her petting, and just the overall mood of the moment sapped away Gareth's propriety, leaving her leaning into the woman and feeling herself start to drift into a blissful rest.

Had she been needing something like this? She'd been in a lot of pain, physically, since the tournament. This sort of comfort really hadn't been something she'd expected, or even thought to seek out. But now that she had it, she could feel it sooth her so keenly, it just felt...

Wonderful. ]

[resistetmords]

[It was certainly something that Anri herself hadn't been expecting. It was both cute and endearing for Gareth to be slowly drifting off from being pat. She took a small bite from the tarte, letting Gareth relax into her.

The other girl really did push herself harder than she knew at times. She hummed softly and soothingly. It would be a bit awkward probably, if the roommate came back, but for now, she did her best to make sure Gareth was comfy.]
