Viltez nods vaguely. He has been alone a long time, but it never really bothers him. [i]'I'm just grateful to be living'[/i] Living this way has brought him to a contentment he can enjoy openly, and even having to hide himself from those he's grown to trust over the years he can not claim to have had a bad life. His attention shifts from his own swaying tail to his guest. [i]'He's watching it too. Sometimes I wish I had a little more control when it has a chance to relax, but I guess if I was forced to sit still most of the hours in a day, I would not want to listen tot he one giving me that order all day when it was recreation time'[/i] Suddenly his flesh jumps at the feeling of Aryx's fingers. It's only a light brush, but the feeling of someone else touching the sensitive appendage is enough to send a chill up his spine.

A faint rumble rolls in his chest and his tail slips forward to wrap around his visitor's hand gently. “I can't complain. My life is good enough. Not fantastic, but I feel grateful for what I have. . .” His words seem distant as he watches his tail flack back and forth a few times across the back of Aryx's wrist. With a sudden shock he realizes that the wayward appendage is being far to exploartive as it begins slipping up the other man's sleeve and with a glare he grits his teeth and forces his tail to let him go and wander somewhere else. Glancing up at Aryx he chuckles uncomfortable and murmurs an apology.

“So sorry, it really has a mind of it's own when I'm not thinking about it.” Swatting it away as it begins trying to brush against his cheek he smiles at his visitor. “Did it feel weird for you? I mean, a lot of people have pets with tails and all, but I’ve never felt anything quite like my tail. It's smooth, but fluffy. . .” He shrugs with a sigh. “I guess if I had to pick one discontentment it would be having to hive from everyone. Having to strain myself every day with the fear of being discovered. . . .” His smile widens. “However having you here, for however short the time may be, I feel is more than enough to quell that feeling for quite some time. . .”
