She did it, she actually did it.<br/><br/>Aurelia took a moment to study her Guardian, and while her chocolate eyes had initially seen a male Tibetan Mastiff (a dog she’d have to do more research on in case she wanted to take him out in public), what had amazed her was that he shifted soon after and became a male that was very clearly much different than her ex. Something about him, especially his voice, made it clear he wasn’t from Earth despite having two different appearances that could make him look like he was, and she slowly moved the knife from her lap before starting to get up. Her Guardian obviously towered over her at over six feet compared to her measly five-five, and out of instinct, she reached for the<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Flisting%2F545834151%2Fred-black-and-grey-large-knit-queen-size&amp;hash=018969cdf49d255450d93ea52e632658" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/545834151/red-black-and-grey-large-knit-queen-size" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">knitted blanket</a>she kept on the couch for the days when she fell asleep watching TV to wrap around him. It didn’t matter that she mostly focused on his face, it was unclear whether or not she noticed if he was wearing clothes or not (though they were in her apartment, and he could likely make himself appear in whatever outfit he wanted). A smile like the one he gave her, it felt strange that he’d give it so willingly upon seeing her, but it seemed to be natural considering she was technically his “mistress” in a sense. “Forgive me for asking, it’s just… I’m a bit new to summoning anything, and I’ve heard stories of people accidentally summoning other beings than what they intended.” Aura took a deep breath, attempting to compose herself as she led him to the barstool by her counter, and motioning for her Guardian to sit as she picked up the knife to return it to the set, any evidence of her using it to draw her own blood having disappeared upon the first drops landing in the summoning circle.<br/><br/>“By the way, there’s no need to call me by any official title or anything like that. I’m Aurelia, though friends call me Aura. Now, I need to think of a name for you since I can’t call you Guardian all the time.” With most of the anxiety gone from her voice, Aurelia sounded like she was warm, welcoming, and a bit confident, but there was still a hint of uncertainty. To take the edge off, she began to prep a kettle for tea, and she picked one that was for soothing anxiety for both of them despite the fact that her Guardian didn’t appear to be anxious at all.<i>At least one of us is calm, and get it together. He’s not Viktor.</i>The thought appeared to make her jolt for a second, but she quickly regained her composure before turning back to the male with a smile. “What about Gyatso? I have always liked the name, but it’s a good one that seems to suit you. Though we can look up a potential last name another time if you feel like it.” She wasn’t sure if she was his first mortal charge in this sense, but at the same time, would he even remember if he had others that had summoned him. Upon walking over to him and sitting in the barstool beside him, that was when she realized that while he had made himself appear human, he didn’t have any clothes on that she could tell after wrapping the blanket around him, causing a dusting of pink to start coating her face. “Any chance you could… umm… make yourself appear to be dressed? Being around a naked being… I just…” Aura didn’t like being around anyone while they were naked, especially someone she just met/summoned, but at least Gyatso didn’t have any ill intentions with her.<br/><br/>“Also, my best friend, he summoned a Guardian who calls herself Xenia, and before she made herself appear to be a normal human, she seemed to be a Dragon shifter. I know you were drawn to me by the spell, but I didn’t know how you would appear due to the variety of stories about your kind, if that makes sense.” Aurelia averted her eyes, almost feeling a bit all over the place because of Gyatso. Part of her wondered if part of what she was feeling was potentially physical attraction, but that felt impossible considering she identified as ace. Dismissing that notion, she forced herself to only look at his face, and yet she wondered what made him take on this appearance for his human form, not to mention why he chose a Tibetan Mastiff to initially appear as. Mastiffs were emotional dogs, and he also appeared to take on the appearance of one of the monks from the temples, though she figured that maybe she had to be drawn to both in a sense in her thoughts. “By the way, I’m making tea, and I’m usually not this talkative around new people, much less others that aren’t human…” Mentally she was cursing herself at her being so talkative, and as much as she didn’t want to admit it, it felt nice to talk to someone new. Despite how much she wanted to keep talking, Aura forced herself to stay quiet, waiting for Gyatso to say something to make up for the fact that she basically talked his ear off.<br/><br/><i>Has it really been that long since I felt comfortable talking to a being I just met, especially a male one?</i>
