It was like talking to a wall.
Because the guy before him was so self-absorbed, he was muttering about elasticity, softness, and hardness.
Kael's brow twitched. Surely the twig had gone crazy?
The muttering only continued, Riley's face oddly serious as though he were cataloging a rare specimen.. "Normal, abnormal, resilient in some spots. Hard wall one second, normal human skin the next. Fascinating."
Kael actually had to wake him up, because he wasn't sure how he'd react if instinct suddenly kicked in.
What if Riley startled him and he ended up tossing Riley into the wall out of sheer surprise? What if—no, worse—what if the idiot kept squeezing?
Except… who was he kidding? The dragon lord couldn't even move under the human's odd ministrations.
"Hey! I asked if you're done?"
That snapped Riley out of his trance. His eyes went wide as it finally dawned on him—it was as if he had been kneading dough. Dough.
