A soft baa escaped Nathaniel's lips. The feeling of Garrison's reassuring finger rubbing his ear made him want to nuzzle into the man. He came closer to the captain, feeling his warmth and caring wash over his smaller body. "Garrison... I feel so happy when I am with you." He managed a small smile, nudging the hand that rubbed his ears. "Feels good... Touch my horns too."

He reached out and softly touched the tail that was held high. It was furry and soft. He wanted to snuggle into it. Maybe Garrison would let him if he asked nicely.
