Aisha's heart fluttered, the question slipping from her lips in a hushed, curious tone.
"Intimate? What's that supposed to mean? How's a proper hug supposed to be intimate?" She said softly, eyes wide with a gentle innocence, her tail swaying behind her as she leaned in just a little. "I don't even hug Captain or Skadi much, you know. They're always the ones hugging me, and I just...stand there, not really doing anything back. So I'm not good at it and don't know much."
Her voice trembled, a quiet vulnerability peeking through, her curiosity blooming beneath the surface and hearing this, Cassius lifted a hand to her head, his fingers gliding gently through her hair, brushing along the curve of her scalp.
The light contact sent a tingling shiver down her spine, her ears twitching instinctively.
