[His ear moves gently beneath Percival's hand, and he tilts into the touch just a little. It feels good, and denying himself things that make him happy has never really been part of his lifestyle. But maybe he should be doing something in return? He's not really sure where Percival would like to be petted besides the obvious, but now's not the time for that.
He reaches for Percival's hair next, just for a little touch. His hand pauses, giving him plenty of time to tell him not to.]
Are you satisfied? You were so upset earlier, but don't you feel better? My ears have a soothing effect.
[ Even now, he continues being rude. Apparently no amount of mistletoe that inspired him to be more affectionate would take that rudeass tongue.
He flinches a bit when Kaden reaches up, because he's still a little unsure about letting a near-stranger touch his hair, but he supposes it's only fair, and eventually leans down to let him get a good angle. ]
I will admit, I'm oddly relaxed, even if a bit confused.
[ why are they doing this, exactly? It's kind of weird. Eventually, the magic begins to wear off. ]
And I didn't think you were charmless enough to say that. I guess we're both learning, huh?
[He can take it. Now's not the time for sulking, not when he's getting the best attention he's had all night. He'll have to tell everyone Percival's got good hands and nice hair...that's a nice thing to do for someone.
Unfortunately for Percival, Kaden doesn't need magic to be this close to someone. Without a sign from the knight that he needs to stop, he'll keep going. It's all about respect. He runs his fingers over the lock of hair, humming at how pleased its smoothness is to his fingers. Very clean.]
My fur has that effect on people, I guess. It's so soft it's relaxing.
[ An insult that would normally bother him enough to protest just makes him huff below his breath. He supposes it's only fair after his judgment of Kaden.
Unfortunately, the magic really is wearing off, and eventually, he stands up straight again, lets his palm fall back to his side, and awkwardly... steps out of Kaden's hold.

He really just looks... immensely confused. ]

Is something wrong? You look like you've found a grey fur in your tail.
[He's just fine! He sort of misses how close Percival was a second ago, but he's not going to point that out. Yet.]
