With the shells safely in one hand, he extends his other to touch her on the side of her 'cheek' beneath her eye - technically, he's only able to really reach her lower jaw, but it is the best he can do.
The scales are smooth, hard. And although they would look 'cold', they are warm beneath his touch as he strokes gently.
"You have been fine company. I would not ask more of you than your soul requires." He sighs, then leans in and presses his face against her scales, his cheek resting against hers. She is massive compared to him, and he is so very close to her mouth, which is filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. And yet, he is not afraid. "I will be glad to have you in my arms again, whenever that may happen."
