He felt every single muscle relax as he settled around Starling, a rumble sounding in his throat as the yearling rested his head on his paws. He didn't see his face, but that didn't matter. He could feel the changes in his friend, and even though his own body was stiff with the uncomfortable posture, it made him feel good to see him calm down. He knew that it had been scary, he had been terrified for the boy. And now that he was here on solid ground, he didn't doubt that he wanted to rest for a little bit. Cath was happy to oblige, even put himself in this very... close contact with him. While he used his own body to speak more than his words, it didn't mean that he was used to curling up next to a stranger -- which to anyone else these two were. But they had shared something just then, a moment of panic and fear, of loss and hope. It was intimate, and something that he did not have with anyone else. So yes, they met only today, but in his mind they had made a connection deeper than he had with anyone. It might sound silly, but Cathaoir heard the truth in his own thoughts.

When Starling began to speak in Italian, his ears strained forward, wishing that he understood what he was saying. But Star did not stutter when he spoke the foreign language, and it flew off his tongue with such grace and beauty. It stunned the larger boy, which is why he did not bother asking to know what it was. By the tender notes in his words he knew that he was saying nothing bad about him, but oh how he wished he could understand. He spoke again in English, saying that he had ruined their adventure. The beast's head shook across his white shoulders, a certain vigor in the movement. "No. This is... a different type of adventure." The yearling whispered. This closeness was all new to the adventurer, something that he had very little experience with. But there was something that just felt so... right.

"SPEAK!"
