So sorry for the wait. :/
Matteo was glad that she seemed so fond of him already. To be honest, making friends wasn't really easy for the boy. Sure, people loved being friends with him at times, but due to Giuseppe's possessive nature, he rarely got the chance to really spend time with friends. Maybe Mizu would be different? Or maybe he'll end up stealing her from me. Bitter thoughts were forced away as she moved to turn around, though.
As her hand brushed his leg, he flinched; the touch wasn't unwelcome but it wasn't expected either. It also seemed to have been an accident when she pulled away and apologized. "Do not apologize. It was just a touch." Simply put, he didn't care either way. Physical contact was something he didn't shy away from, though unexpected ones he tended to flinch at.
When she was settled, he carefully reached around her and brought the necklace around her neckline, gently fastening it there and laying it straight, fingers brushing against her shoulders ever so slightly as he pulled away and leaned over to check and make sure it looked nice. It rested nicely on her neck, complimenting her fur and bringing out her eyes and those strange markings on her face. He smiled. "It looks nice on you, Mizu."
