[Kaede held very still when Chariot moved, still making concerned little noises. But when the other woman stilled, Kaede molded her form to fill the gaps, tail curling over her knee instead of the injured ankle, her long arm folding over Chariot's shoulder so her feathers lay like a possessive cape over her back.
Kaede knew there were others. She had known. But none of them were taking Chariot away from her, and the Witch's attention never waned. And...by that example, Kaede felt safe inviting others in close, too. So long as Chariot was here, a fragment of affection Kaede could call her own, she was content.
It hadn't been long since they had been in contact last, but the pulse of energy that ran between the two of them never stopped feeling like a comforting embrace. And the physical warmth of their embrace made the tension leech out of Kaede's shoulders with a contented sigh.]
You're still here. You're not going anywhere. Why does it matter what others think?
[One of Kaede's ears flicked as she listened, the disgruntled line trying to draw her expression to a grimace fading by parts until her face was as quiet and impassive as usual.]
Mn.
[She was still Disgruntled. But...listening, learning that girl was that important to Chariot gave Kaede some pause. Certainly something to turn over in her mind.]
