Unicorn Samba

"Aw," she said genuinely. She could sympathize with meeting someone who seemed so nice at first and then finding out that they weren't so nice. The Unicorn was at least secure in the fact that she was always the exact same degree of nice all the time. Which, admittedly, wasn't that nice, but at least she was consistent. "Don't worry about that then. I'm very nice."

Aeon laughed as the cat spoke, then suddenly started purring loudly. He sounded like a jet engine, or a vacuum cleaner. The full-body vibrations made her hand shake intensely. Realizing how loudly she was laughing, the unicorn quickly covered her mouth. "You like to purr, don't you little guy."

She called him little, but he wasn't that much smaller than her.

Aeon was happy to pet the kitten, but when his ears flicked down she first though that he was displeased. Then when she was headbutted she was more than a little taken aback.

Considering that she'd just been petting a kitten who seemed to have the most delightful temperament, she was shocked when it seemed to attack her.

The unicorn leaned back from the headbutt, using her arms to catch her and keep her from falling off her bed. Aeon was a horse, so her body was more muscular that it seemed. She weighed more than one would think.

But she still thought that her and this human ghost cat couldn't have... weighed that much differently.

Now she wasn't petting him at all, as she stared at him in surprise. "I--..."

There was a moment of silence before something seemed to click. The headbutt that a cat would do was an invitation to pet, a request for more contact. Perhaps he'd been trying to headbutt as a cat and not as a person?

That seemed to be confirmed when she was asked to pet him more. She straightened up and returned to petting, using both hands this time for maximum petting.

"You could have just asked you know," She said, he soft smile returning to her face.

The kitten's mood seemed to improve the moment Aeon returned to petting. She smiled and kept this up, secure in the fact that she hadn't been headbutted to be rude.

When Audrey insisted that he did ask, Aeon just chuckled awkwardly. "Well... maybe ask with your words next time."

She wondered if he had the same peeves as a cat. If he disliked belly rubs like the cats she'd patted. Aeon rubbed the itchy space between the shoulders as her other hand scratched behind the ears.

Cats, much like dogs, seemed to have a sweet spot just behind the ears.
