An Yao didn't mind his cold attitude and gazed at him with her fair, innocent face. Her dark, clear almond-shaped eyes seemed to flicker with a hint of mischief, making it hard to look away.
In a soft voice, she asked, "Do you feel any better today? Are your injuries still hurting? I have some medicine powder here that can help."

His gaze lingered on her for a moment and then, as if touched by an electric shock, he averted his eyes, subtly creating a bit more distance between them, perhaps to establish a clearer boundary.
However, her intentions couldn't be so easily deterred.
A large eagle like him wouldn't miss out on having a few feathers plucked, and she was determined not to let it slide.
She approached him more eagerly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nuzzled against him affectionately. If he were in his human form, she would have surely clung to his arms.
