Valdis hums to fill the silence as Anani chooses to leave the fireplace for Fever's lap, jumping up on the couch and nudging their hands out of the way, leading her hum to become a small laugh.
I don't need someone to tell me I could defeat them, I'm well aware I'm one of the more dangerous inhabitants of this island, but I am happy I will never need to be dangerous to you.
She sighs as the cat begins purring in Fever's lap.
Anani deciding that he can no longer tolerate being left out of the equation makes Fever laugh too, drawn as all people are to give pets when a small animal decides you are worthy of being sat upon. And it's pleasant, very much so. Comfort given without the frisson of fear that used to inhabit her when touching something smaller than herself, knowing they're safe in her hands. Soft, warm, the subtle vibrations of his purring under her fingertips, all wonderful sensations.
And to think, she used to not understand why people were so inclined to have pets.
Still a relief to know that if the very worst came to pass, you could pull me out of it.
But at least for now, that seems nearly impossible. How can she dwell on such things when she's here now, sharing in her joy and letting herself be cared about?
Anani settles in Fever's lap, continuing to purr softly and knead her legs with his paws, pleased to be receiving attention. Valdis strokes his head once and then settles closer to Fever, bringing her tea to her lips to take a slow sip.
Hopefully it is a relief we will never need to feel.
She leans her head against Fever's, falling silent in both thought and body, happy to just sit here with her partner and her pets.

Happiness, that same peaceful contentment, stretching over her mind like a blanket being knit. Row by row, growing slow and steady.
And for what it's worth, I think you could have stopped me easily. Still could, really. I don't give that kind of praise lightly.

The same promise she had made to Max.
