She chanced lifting her head again.
The lizardman was still there, waiting patiently with one arm over his head. He held up the bed and didn’t appear to be straining under the weight. He crouched still as a statue, staring at her.
A slight movement behind him drew her attention. She squeaked when that something came toward her. At first she thought it was a giant snake. Then it got closer, and she realized it was a tail. Following that tail led back to the lizardman in front of her.
It was his tail, and he’d moved it close to her feet, flipping the very tip of it in a slow wagging motion. Again, not aggressive. If anything, he seemed to be enticing her the same way a person would wiggle a toy in front of a cat.
Fine, she would embrace the crazy, play along. Nothing would be resolved with her huddled in a corner.
She poked at the very tip of the tail and then pulled back quickly in case he got pissed. When he didn’t, she did it again. Still no anger. She petted his tail, smoothing the very tips of her fingers over the bumpy scales. She’d been right to call him a lizardman because that was what his skin resembled.
He spoke to her in a deep rumbling tone, bringing her attention to his face. Slowly he held out his hand, palm up.
Long claws tipped his fingers. They appeared sharp. And she already had proof of how strong he was. But instead of snatching at her, he was waiting for her to come to him. So she did. She slowly put her hand in his and tried not to flinch when his big hand closed around hers.
He gave her a soft tug, urging her toward him but not pulling.
She crawled toward him with her right hand in his. It should have been awkward, but his hand remained steady and level, providing her support, as she made her way forward. Once she cleared the bed, he lowered it to the floor and then released her to straighten to his full height.
His people were toe-walkers, with their heels in the air and their knees bent forward. But the few inches he would lose from putting his feet flat on the ground still made him a hell of a lot taller than her.
“Jesus.” She tilted her head back and back some more. Her nose was level with the bottom of his chest. A nervous laugh escaped past her lips. “Somebody ate all his veggies growing up.”
The lizardman actually smiled and patted her head.
