Lydia frowned as she watched wound after wound seal back up. He was supernatural then, she thought. Not a demon, because of the way he had not responded to her circle and the fact that the house allowed him to see her.<br/><br/>He wasn’t one of the nobles. His skin was warm, over warm to the touch. Lydia didn’t think he had a fever though, but rather that he was preternaturally warm. He wasn’t a werewolf. Goddess knew he looked more like a cat than a wolf. She ran her fingers absently over his ears, enjoying the stubby hair that speckled the pink insides. Lydia was thinking as she stared across the cottage.<br/><br/>His breathing was steady now and his heart rate seemed good .She thought she heard him mutter something about her singing. For a split second she thought she saw his eyes open just a slit as if he were expecting an answer from her. Lydia patted his shoulder and began to hum a song about a soft kitty.<br/><br/>He groaned and she leaned closer to try to make out the words he was saying. Without being aware of the tail that seemed to have a life of its own,  Lydia gasped as said tail wrapped around her wrist. Were he not near death’s door, she would have ascribed the tail with trying to at best, communicate well being and at the worst, trying to seduce her. She breathed out through her nose. Either way, it must be a good sign<br/><br/>Still humming the soft kitty song, she put her hand over the tail looped at her wrist and began to gently slide her fingertips over the coarse fur. The more she sang, the more the tail lashed back and forth, caressing her with each swipe. Finally, she could stand refraining from touching him no longer. Lydia held her hands just inches over the bare flesh and allowed her hands to hover. A loud crackling filled the air and she stared out the window.<br/><br/>The fire had crossed over into her part of the forest. There was no time to evacuate, no hope of saving themselves if they panicked. Gently but firmly she eplained,<br/><br/>"I will leave you here for a few minutes. " she said wearily. "I have to try to turn it, but if it doesn't, I might have some rather unsanctioned plans to save your life."<br/><br/><br/>
