OOC here!
Dalgina watched a long, ropey tail stretch out, swaying with pleasure. It was so much longer than everything else, almost matching the length of his body! Hypnotized by the sight Dalgina watched it stray, taking a few steps even closer, unaware of how much damage one large paw swipe could do to her. His ears flattened as she talked about his size. Did he not like being so big? Dalgina herself was rather small in appearance, making it look like she was even smaller in comparison to him.
A tiger. That wasn't anything she'd ever heard of before. Briefly Dalgina thought about everything she had heard in her life, all the stories and things she had learned. Nope, no tigers. He couldn't be from the arctic then, as Mahn had told her everything about that place. She smiled shyly at his words, ears flattening slightly. Was she really? Dalgina didn't think much about her own appearance, far too engaged by everyone else's that she came across.
The large paw outstretched was such a sweet sight Dalgina couldn't resist the invitation. She glanced up once more before stepping right up, hands playfully running through his thick fur. That wasn't paint, for sure. She'd had paint in her fur, and it didn't feel like this. He was so warm! Ducking her head down Dalgina buried her face in him, breathing in the scent. He must be a very good tiger, so gentle and warm and big. Fingers felt across his ribs, eyes widening with surprise. Why could she feel his ribs? Are you supposed to be this bony?
