Kate smiled and looked at the large, orange, tabby warmly, "Your thoughts. I can only imagine how lost your are. You are lovely in both your forms . It has been another difficult week hasn't it. You are healing well." The mage and Jasper strolled to Kate's bedroom. She sat on her bed and awaited for Jasper to jump on the bed. "You look so much better and getting stronger. I enjoyed our ride; you are learning so much in a short time. Would you mind if I touched the back of your neck and shoulders? You can place your head in my lap."<br/>Once he was in position Kate drew her hands together and rubbed the vicariously. She placed her hand on top of Jasper's left paw palms down and held them on his fur barely touching him. He can feel the heat. "Breath and close your eyes. I need you to trust me and turn your thoughts to today. If the past creeps up mew your left paw is cold. How are your pads healing? Kate removed a jar of oil . She rubbed the oil over his paw. She felt his nose sniffing on her hand.  You like? Is sage and sandalwood. With your permission, I want to have you whole arm covered. I am starting with your paw. This is going to be different that petting your fur. See I am just touching your paw a bit more; not harder. I do not mean to tickle you. Kate bent his wrist a few times. You may extend your claws. Look they have grown some. Soon you will have formative weapons." Kate placed her hand on top of his paw and began to massage is wrist and lowest stripe. "You have very nice markings. The signify your are a Savannah cat. You will not be seen in the meadow in summer. You will blend in with the grasses. "I get it. The oil on your fur feels strange. You can taste it. It will not hurt you. I will have it blended into you skin and you will feel good. I an just petting you up to your shoulder. I  want you relaxed and not freaking out."  Kate continued rubbing his left paw and leg.  You can watch or close you eyes. Now you know what I am doing. Thank you for trusting me. Does it tickle? This is to help you relax not be tickled."
