From the corner of his eye (ATTN: Yildun)

His smile widened and Yildun's tail swayed, as did hers. She felt the mutual warmth, which went hand-in-hand with how comfortable she felt around him. Speaking of which, Yildun motioned to her with his pale muzzle and queried, "May I?" The Alpha female smiled uncertainly, her brows knitting together. She mentally scrambled to figure out what it was he was asking. May you...? The silence that stretched between them began to grow awkward and she chuffed.

Finally, she just decided to say, "You may," in a pleasant, wondering voice, touching her cool nose to the side of his muzzle to indicate her trust. She then sensed that he wanted her to hold still, so Koontz froze, curiously awaiting... well, whatever Yildun planned to do next.
