The Soulless noses you with its long snout and you offer it a stroke, its skin feeling weirdly smooth under your hand. It wags its tail - or... a tentacle? - and trots off to lay down beside Ais, who fondly strokes its ears. "See? Princess likes you, little sparrow. She doesn't let just anyone pet her." You smile at the Soulless, and then at Ais. "I'm honoured. So... Ais, can we talk?" He quirks a brow. "What's on your mind?"
