( jase can't help it — despite the way his eyes seem to quadruple in size as briar's hand draws nearer and nearer, the moment those fingers scratch so softly behind his ear, he's toast ... complete and utter toast, bright eyes closing in satisfaction as an unfamiliar feeling in his throat starts, a pleasant hum, and — oh, no, he's purring, feeling it carried on each and every inhale and exhale that he takes, even once that hand is withdrawn.
gods, if he could go back in time — if he could know what was in store for him here in the magical world — he would've turned himself to a cat and back at least a hundred times, because he's far too uncomfortable in this form the way it is, constantly surprised by each new thing he's presented with. never has jase been so happy with his lanky, occasionally awkward human form. at least that is something he can handle, having had twenty-five odd years learning how to.
briar is speaking now, though, so that brings jase right back to attention, his whole body shaking from his ears to the tip of his tail as though trying to rid himself of his nerves. phew.
he supposes that there are about a million ways he could answer that question — have you never been around magic before? — but most require far more explanation that his current linguistic abilities are capable of, so he just shakes his little head no. he's gonna have to work on his communication skills before next time.
