Plunging A Trigger

•••

As he was getting pulled from the darkness he had been submerged in and regained feeling in his body, Henry felt something lapping at him. He opened his eyes to see Nyx's pink tongue licking at his face. 

"-What- What are you doing?-" he asked her using their telepathic connection because he felt opening his mouth would have her licking inside it next. 

"-Oh, good, you're awake-" Nyx said and moved away from him,

"-You had me worried there for a bit.-"

"And licking me is how you process your worry?" Henry asked her managing a smile despite the situation. 

"-Well, I tried nudging for a bit. Sniffed you, breathed on you. Called you many times too. Nothing worked so I tried licking your face.-" Nyx said sounding slightly sheepish. 

"That still doesn't seem like a natural progression of decisions," Henry said. 

"-Well, maybe I've always been curious how you taste-" Nyx admitted.
