[ i don't have a choice whether or not to be lonely. though she'd only read the words from him, she could practically hear them in his voice now, and while she isn't keen towards wanting to feel any kind of pity towards him, all things considered, she understands that need for console, the way she sought it from fluffy after losing her mother.
maybe that's why she even surprises herself when she asks the question, half expecting the answer to be a no regardless. but she's always had a weakness for animals, thanks to fluffy, and even if she tends to be more cat person than dog, it's difficult to feel some kind of softness in the direction of the creature, with the lighthearted bow around her neck. ]
Um, yeah, I mean — only if it's okay.
[ she feels a bit strange now that she's asked it, but she watches rufus gesture for darkstar, her eyes meeting the dog's that in turn watches her. and with that simple gesture, she really does seem like a pet like any other, gentle against her owner's hand, despite gentle never being a word she'd associate with rufus. and yet, in that moment, it seems almost ... ordinary. she doesn't even notice a bit of tension ease from her shoulders.
carefully, she takes a few steps closer, slowly easing her out her own hand, not yet reaching but simply offering it forward. ]
