She sits next to him on the bed, flushed at his praise. "You flatter me, but I find I quite like flattery coming from you."
She starts applying the balm to the top of his shoulders. "And my being.. inspiring would explain a few things."
"The first time I took this shape of my soul, I was in a forest. I could hear the sound of men on horses and a great many hounds hunting, and I was curious. I knew they would fear me in dragon shape, so I reached within myself for something softer, gentler." She manifests her wings again, careful not to bump him with them.
She laughs softly as she continues to apply the balm to his chest. "I was not used to these legs, these wings, so I stumbled out of the brush in front of them like a fawn learning how to walk, quite naked. There was a large branch overhanging the deer trail there, low for a man on horseback. The man who led the hunt...did not duck the branch. He was knocked off of his horse and into the pond."
Kreyu coughs. "When I asked my brother how he had missed seeing such a thing, he would not stop laughing."
