@_Orion_Above He watches the example. " Hm, boring..We raptors just bark..Or scream. Or pounce each other."
He returns the shake awkwardly, only to turn his focus back to rubbing up against Orion. " I prefer this~."
" Are all of you humans this tall? "
@_Orion_Above " How about show me?" He curiously asked, tapping his fingers on him. " Show me what you humans do. Hm, teach me I guess. "
" Shit..Uh..Yeah you humans do names..I'm Al..Althalos. "
@_Orion_Above The raptor smirks, rubbing up against Orion again. " Is that not how humans greet each other? With touch? " He gave a very deep chuckle, half laughing half purring.
Bringing his hands up to just rest on Orion, because he can't reach cause he's so much shorter than him.
@_Orion_Above " I can do more than just that. " Al continued to purr, drawing closer and rubbing his body up against him, of course like a cat.
" I can make all /kinds/ of noises. Chirping, thrilling..A few other ones.."
His face turned a bright red.
" Heh, cause uh we're like birds.."
@_Orion_Above He looked at the hand, slowly taking it.
" It does. I'd..like that. "
And Al's ..purring? Yeah, he's purring in the most lizardy kind of way.
@_Orion_Above " . .I don't know. .I'm still getting used to these..human emotions..Emotions my buddy called them. He understands them better than I. "
He cocked his head back at him.
" A lot of them to deal with. ."
@_Orion_Above " Yeah. I don't know. It was a gift. And no I'm not the only one, my pack mate, but I haven't seen him in..months. .I don't know where he is. "
The more questions asked, the more he wanted to..He honestly didn't know how to feel, frustrated, sad?
" I'm the only one here. "
@_Orion_Above " I'm a raptor. .At least I think what you humans call, a lizard or..a dinosaur? Yeah I think that's the right phrase. "
He leans himself up against a tree, arms crossed over his chest, letting out a deep sigh.
" And I don't remember how I got like..this."
@_Orion_Above " A pack member, an ally, uh uh a friend brought it. " Al held the cigarette back to his own lips before taking another drag, soon offering it back.
" I saved it, after a while. And now, I'm using it. "
