Eric suddenly stopped walking and stood smirking at her. "You certainly know what you're tlaking about, and yet you don't offer it any more? Why am I such an exception?" he asked crossing his arms, eyes twinkling.

Gracie turned around, to walk backwards. She stood so she could look at him and him her. She shrugged in a mood that was starting to feel increasingly bored to her.
"I just feel comfortable with you I guess. You give off a good vibe. I just happened to see you by accident. I mean.. you brought it up.. the whole touching my fur. But.. it's just my fur. I mean. If you touch my tail.. it's not like touching my face or something worse."
Then, she leaned to each side once. Of course, neither of her partners in crime could be around to save her from making some kind of idiot of herself. And then suddenly, even doing some lame chore for Tiffany could save her from making an idiot of herself.
That was... "It's no big deal Eric. I was just messing with you anyways. I just think you're a nice guy. Seems like you found yourself someone before I ever got to really spend time with you.. but it's all good..." She shrugged nonchalantly.

Eric leaned forward and narrowed his eyes for a moment. Then suddenly stood up and picked up Gracie. "You think too much." he said as he began walking again. He held her bridal style and grinned at her. "I think I can see why it took so long to get your first kiss, you think about things too much."

A broad and cheerful grin plastered its way on her face. This was so exactly like the first time she met him. He carried her just like this. In part, she felt silly for being carried around this way. For all her inward protests, she also felt absurdly comforted by it.
She really did wanna protest, but she knew he was likely entirely correct. "Yeah. Maybe... and I probably ramble too much..."
Her eyes looked around as she wondered where he was going. She leaned her head his shoulder.

Eric chuckled at her comment and carried her to a tree. He sat down under it's shady braches and placed Gracie in his lap. Putting a hand on her should he began to stroke her fur. "Tel me something," the fox finally said. "Why didn't you answer my question?"

The petting... Truly there weren't many things capable of taming Gracie's wild and impulsive spirit as much as touching. A little petting here... a little stroking there... her skittish defenses would come crumbling down.
She got a confused look that was quickly followed with an angelic smile. "Uh.. what question are we asking about? I don't even remember which question I'm overlooking."
Was he asking about why she wanted to know if he was mated? Or asking why she was letting him pet her? Maybe... they were the same question... She quick to hide the answer that was likely the same to both.

"Why you're letting me pet you." Eric said. He knew she didn't answer the other one either, but decided not to press that one for now. He smiled as her expressions changed.

She mused for a moment over her answer. Her eyes looking back up at him. She did settle on his lap like a good kitty. Ari might have a good laugh if he saw this. Usagi would be surely giving her way too many questions.
She smiled. "Well... I still remember the way you handled me the first time we met. The way you touch is nice. You know... even if I had ten different people all pet me at the same time; they won't all feel the same. Some just feel nicer than others."
It was sort of a compliment. Except that she laid it out rather skittishly. She tended to get very embarrassed over complimenting anyone.

Eric raised an eyebrow at her answer. "Oh? Well I'm glad you like it." he said. He then started o stroke her tail. "Is this still alright?" he asked, eyes twinkling.

"Yes..." Her voice settling down and losing its normal edge of hyper excitement. The petting was causing her body to settle down involuntarily.
She started to lay down against him, relaxing her body and her paws flexing her nails in and out as she started to feel like she wanted to claw at something. Not viciously or violently... just softly. The feeling of being petted in such a way drew her almost into a trance.

"Hey, you O.K.?" Eric asked as he suddenly stopped. He had noticed her claws flexing and they way her eyes became unfocused. "Dpn't tell me I'm that good." he laughed.

Then, there was that feeling of why she didn't compliment people. Their reaction to overly receive them made her roll her eyes.
"Maybe it just... feels that good." She giggled and stretched her arms out, and then she let them fall into her lap. "Yes. I am ok. You should keep doing that though."
Honestly, she could have someone who pet her well; she could want them to pet her infinitely. Then, she slinked down and laid with her head by his feet, leaving her tail behind her for him to pet.

The fox laughed at her as she changed positions, but he went back to stroking her tail all the same. "So tell me about your new roomate." he said. He closed his eyes and leaned against the tree.

A smile found it's way onto her face. She sighed contently. This sure was turning out rather nicely. Where was he when she was bored all the time? She rolled over, wrapping her tail sideways up, so he could still pet at it. She put her hands behind her head looking upwards.
"I live with a cat. His name is Ari. He's about my age. He's really nice. He mostly will do anything I want. He helps me when I get roped into doing Tiffany's junk. It so happens that she is on and off with this crappy Stan guy who Ari knew previous to living here."

"He sounds like a nice guy. I'm guessing you two have a pretty strong friendship." Eric said without opening his eyes. He liked sitting here and just talking, it had been a while since his last, nice conversation with someone. It had been with Saki. He felt a slight pang of guilt thinking about her.
