[From the start of it.]
A drink? I'd like that.
[They smile gratefully.]
First dinner, and a dash of excitement, and now a drink. It's really kind of you.
Mm. Minus the whole "guards out for you" bit. So long as you're with me, they won't be able to get to you.
[Their gaze wanders to their finger. At the same time, Julian might feel his thread migrating to his wrist as well at the offering of Raine's promise, however inexplicitly.]
...Though I wasn't expecting to run into my soulmate. I'm not entirely sorry for making you think I was just a random cat. It just saves money when my body - and therefore stomach - are smaller. And people are more likely to pet a cat than a person.
[They smile tiredly at him, content with even this much.]
