Seeing how much Siren enjoyed the little things she did like massaging lavender oil into her tender paw pads made her so indescribably happy. A smile lingered on her lips as she carefully took care of each delicate, pink paw pad. She rubbed the oil into them until each of her feet was soft and fragrant, gently massaging the sore muscles in her paws and ankles as she went. As she finished up with her front paws, Dalila had the sudden urge to kiss the perfect, pale paw that rested between her own, the thought making her face flush before she quickly moved on to take care of her hind paws. Snuggles and embraces were not unknown to them by any means at this point, but something like that felt beyond even the stretched boundaries she was given. She thought about Chimera, holding Siren, kissing the top of her head, and that jealousy that she couldn't seem to stifle creeped up on her again. Logically she knew it was ridiculous and absurd to want to be able to be like that with her lady, but now that the thought had planted itself in her mind it was hard to ignore. Once Siren confirmed that she would like her fur brushed, Dalila smiled again and gave a little nod of her head, putting the lavender oil off to the side once she was done with her lady's paws. She walked over to a small shelf on one side of the room and picked up a boar hair brush and a wooden comb, bringing them over to the large bed and finding her usual place beside Siren. She started carefully combing and brushing through her luxurious, pale coat, working any tangles free and removing the dust and grasses that had gotten hung in the longer pieces. As she worked, she grew thoughtful while she occasionally gave Siren a shy glance, a little smile playing on her features. "Thank you," she said softly after a few more moments of silence, her ears folding back bashfully against her head while she continued to gently work through Siren's fur. "Thank you for doing so much for me... I... I don't know what I've done to deserve your kindness, my lady, but it means more to me than I could ever say." Her face flushed as she spoke, a wide smile on her lips even though she shyly kept her eyes down on her work. |
