Faerie lights exploded as Ulric laughed at her quip, the rolling laughter was almost like listening to distant thunder with a sweeter disposition. She saw the way the scar on the corner of his lips tugged as humor spread over his expression. It wasn't something she was used to, male laughter, and from anyone else, it would have frightened her into aggression. Ulric's laugh made her want to make him do it again. She found her monochrome tail waving behind her as the lights pulsed with each peel of his laugh, something that made her own smile widen. She shifted closer as he leaned in with his retort, turning conspriatorial as he said he was indeed part bear. The news saw her barking with her laughter, the force of which drove her to flop over on her side almost at his feet. Even as the moment faded into easy silence, Aza stayed in her prone position before him, looking up as twilight began to darken around them. He spoke once more and asked if she had a place she regularly stayed. It had been a long time since she had stable shelter.
Sitting up on her elbows to speak better, Azariah answered him honestly.
