[Hey, Ren was told that Max knew. The sooner he gets used to this Garou nonsense, the better, really. Especially around the ones who enjoy being in lupus.
And she lifts her head, leaning hard into scratches and letting her ears flick down. Yes, good. More scratches. She isn't a dog. But there's no pretending that it doesn't feel good in a way that just doesn't translate in a homid body.
But she does give a definitive nod. Yes. Too much for one day. Pats now.]
[Since Rowan is doing it, and Ren seems pretty content with the scratching, Max's hand becomes a little more confident. He takes up scratching behind Ren's other ear.
He looks to Rowan.]
So, did you want to, I don't know, join her? I mean, seems like a pack bonding thing, right? I can go...
Yeah, but if I change too, and you bugger off, who's going to do the stroking? [Rowan chuckles, glancing at Max and hoping he comes closer so they can lean on him.]
[And, to prove a point that human hands are very necessary, right now, Ren will turn her head to trap Max's hand under her chin. Her paw comes up to keep the arm in place.
But she does address Rowan;] I don't know how I keep forgetting people don't understand us in Lupus. [It just felt too natural to chitter and grumble in Garou.]
[Rowan leans into Max easily, resting against his side and shifting to tuck their legs up too, quite happy to be trapped in a partial pack cuddle pile.]
Well, I dunno about you, but I don't often hang out in lupus around people what ain't Garou. [Rowan replies to Ren automatically, stroking along her back lazily.]
She says it's weird you can't understand her. [They add, a belated translation for Max.] It is nice, though. Pack cuddles are nice. 'Specially when stuff's been intense.

I am, aren't I? Still getting used to the idea of all of this... but I like it. I'm glad.

[He leans in a little harder.]
You know what? This is nice, actually. I wouldn't mind doing this after a stressful day.
