Maleena smiled a proud, elegant smile - the worry that this was too promising to be true nagged on her only very slightly, like off in a far distance- Skuld was happy, she was happy, and Akira showed the proper respect and seemed to value them and... he knew to make compliments...<br/><br/>And he was rather handsome---pretty, too. She draped her arm around the backrest of the chair, carefully slding her fingers forward until they touched the soft back of Akira's neck, worming their way over Skuld's loosely draped arms. The tips of her fingers floated pver and disappeared in the soft human fur like it was fresh green grass (a cat's paws delight!) and found their way up to where the head begun and the neck ended. Her well-cared for claws dug gently into the soft spot there and scratched up and down in slow movements. She was well aware that it wasn't only Skuld, or - for the matter - the breed of cat-people who liked this sort of attention. It was just that humans couldn't purr when their necks were carefully massaged and their scalps lovingly scratched. However, anyone who had ever shared a hot shower with a human who knew how to enjoy a cat-woman's gentle claws, had no doubt that humans would purr in such a monent if only they were able to.<br/><br/>"I'd make you the prettiest home a man can have," she promised, knowing full well that a home couldn't be called complete without the subtle pawprints of a cat-lady's interior design skills to it. No house was complete without a member of the purring  breed, whether four- or two-legged, inhabiting it and the signs of its reign. No human was capable of taking all that into consideration on his own. But now, Akira would have Maleena to help him with that... (and Skuld to provide the necessary deconstruction when it was time for something new).<br/><br/>She felt generous today, she found herself noticing. Like previously, she did the purring for him, since he couldn't.<br/><br/>
