"Oh. I — thank you, Caduceus." For whatever it was worth, his compliment would have flustered her regardless of whatever magical or non-magical influence was making her body unpleasantly warm right then. It was unexpected — though perhaps it shouldn't have been, with how sweet her new friend had been since the moment they met. Still, she wasn't used to being called beautiful by most.

She briefly lamented the lack of contact, fingers twitching as they fiddled idly with the hem of her dress. "I certainly hope that is not the case." she said, her leylines dimming faintly with displeasure. She was fairly confident it wasn't his fur that was distracting and rousing such emotions in her, not with what evidence she had seen from her little experiment. "I should be blunt, I suppose, and I pray you will not take offense. But when you are talking I feel a - a desire to be close, to be...intimate. And while I cannot say you are unappealing to me, it is not a sensation I feel often of my own accord. Hence why I believe it some outside influence. Doubtful you yourself are the cause, however." well that was...embarrassing. But better to just say it, right? "I apologize if that is. Uncomfortable."
