I guess Lucy got the hint, at least for that time (I gave her some fussing later), so after a bit of attention to both, a moved a few steps away and sat down to see what they'd do, hoping Crystal would lay back down again.I guess Lucy got the hint, at least for that time (I gave her some fussing later), so after a bit of attention to both, a moved a few steps away and sat down to see what they'd do, hoping Crystal would lay back down again. Both came over and hovered over me for quite some time--keeping watch. Heh. After a while, I reached up and lightly stroked Crystal's throat with my open palm, just as a "Hi!" To my surprise, she seemed to *really* enjoy it, like I was giving her scratchies on her itchiest spot, so I kept it up for a while longer before laying my arms on my knees, with my chin resting on my crossed arms. Crystal snuffled me a bit, then my hair, then surprised me by licking my back! This was different, but I wasn't about to argue--until she finally reached my ears; that tickled too much, and I leaned away, laughing. I returned to my position, my head laying sideways on my arms watching her. She kept her head down close to me, and after a little while she slowly moved her muzzle towards my face, finally resting her lips on my cheek and just staying that way. |
