[ it's a really good thing they're sitting down already, because his knees could never in a million years have remained steady enough to support his weight when faced with all this nuzzling and you smell sweet and tongue (!!) against neck (!!!!). in fact, he can't help letting out a bit of a... well, wanton moan would be overstating things a bit, so... winsome sigh, perhaps? anyway, they're already such good friends (who don't know each other's names) that titus is sure it would be all right to start running his fingers through kogi's hair a bit. ]
Master...? What sort of master? —Oh! Are these your ears??
[ they're not at all where titus thought they'd be! how wonderful! ]
[ It's music to his ears, that "winsome sigh"; it only encourages him to do more to earn that sweet song from his lips. Kogitsunemaru won't be able to answer to why he's so eager— well, anyone can blame the stuff he drank, but he isn't entirely sure if that's it. Being this close to something feels better than anything he's ever experienced before. It's... rejuvenating?
He can't quite explain it. ]
I have a Master who took care of me... and I answer to him. [ It's a touchy subject, though— he misses his Master more than he cares to admit. Which is why he welcomes the abrupt change in subject. ]
I— hm, not really. [ Maybe when Cordis moon rolls around, which he doesn't know yet. ] I think it adds character, don't you think?
[ it sure as heck is rejuvenating!! titus loved affectionate contact to begin with, and now not only does it physically feel even nicer, he gets the added emotional rush of knowing (or at least assuming) that it's also quite literally prolonging his life... which makes it feel even nicer again... and creates a positive feedback loop. so what if he just... hmm. got to get a little closer here. is this lap taken? ]
Ah! I see. Yes, yes.
[ he finds kogi's perfectly normal ears in the perfectly expected location and gives them a gentle rub for good measure... then it's back to the hair tufts. ]
They are charming! You're just like a dog or cat. [ this is 100% intended as a compliment. ]
[ The seat is absolutely unoccupied unless Titus wants it to be... and it's not without Kogi encouraging him to move and settle onto his lap. He's very smooth about it, of course, and Kogi doesn't deny that he might feel a little bit of desire pool at the pit of his stomach... but again, there are many influencing factors to this! ]
[ ah yes... this lap is a perfect fit. given his own generosity of figure (thanks 4 the childbearing hips, lady scheherazade), titus has a special appreciation for a comfortable place to sit!
in response to this news about his dear new friend's species, titus stops his explorations and leans back a bit so he can face kogi properly, his eyes sparkling! ]
A fox!!
[ he curls his fingers up to make paws and opens his mouth to do his normal thing of speaking to animals, or to the animal adjacent, in their own language. but then he closes his mouth again, looking puzzled. ]
[ What kind of question is that... is he being made fun of? Isn't that more of a cat posture? But whatever he's doing, it doesn't seem like he's doing it out of malice... so he entertains him, just a little.
He rises his hands, pressing his ring and middle fingers against his thumb while keeping the pinky and index fingers upright. ]
