"What was that you said about eloquence?" purrs Nathaira.
"You can also stop talking." But he hasn't stopped petting her with one hand, awkwardly. Petting her serves his interests. This is the only reason. "You're not even supposed to be able to vocalize. You don't have the physiological capabilities. How are your vocal chords producing those noises?"
"Don't overthink it. You might break something."
Rush has no answer, so he merely huffs quietly to himself and resumes his disgruntled petting. If this panther really is an extension of his self, then she would know there's too much damage in that neurological area already, all of it horribly beyond repair. And none of it anyone's concern but his.
