Carefully, slowly, she brought her hand to his horn, relieved that he hadn't started growling. Gently, the touched it, her hand still for a moment, then moving down along it as it curled, not quite petting so much as just...touching, feeling. She reached the tip and let go, and after a small pause, she reached and gave him a scritch behind the ear. Dogs liked that, Iara was pretty sure, though she'd never had a dog of her own so she was hardly an expert.
"Fuck, life is strange." she rasped, staring at the creature in front of her in wonder. It occurred to her that she knew that there were people like other, people with strange abilities and powers - Ren7 had called them metahumans - but what was to say that there weren't...animals that were the same way. Maybe this was a meta-canine? The thought almost made her giggle. She never giggled. Fuck, she really was getting delirious, even if this wasn't a hallucination, which she was pretty sure it wasn't now, because she was touching it and scritching its ear.
"I'm half afraid I might die here," she said, the odd impulse to talk still there even though she was a bit calmer now and talking fucking hurt, "Which is so bloody stupid because someone strapped explosive to me and I didn't die and this is just me testing... how else am I going to know what I can do if I don't test..." She coughed again. "I'm half afraid I can't...die here" she muttered after a few more moments, barely audible. There was something...comforting, about talking to another living creature, one that wasn't trying to eat her and couldn't understand what she was saying anyway.
