If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

It was more what the girl wanted. Maru didn't need to be an empath to know when someone was hurting. He was, for the most part, socially inept. But he wasn't stupid. What had happened had upset a lot of people, and those it hadn't upset... well... he thought there was probably something wrong with those people.

So when the girl began to pet his head, Maru did his best to amp up his purring, he pressed his head into her hand. Distraction. He could try his best to soothe her in only the way a cute kitty could.

"You're soft." She whispers, roughly. She's not crying but it's a close thing. Still, she continues petting him gently.

the distraction is nice. At least she can see a purring animal before her instead of the horrors that have been perpetrated tonight.

Yes, he was soft and cute and doing his very best to give off calming, soothing thoughts and feelings to help her. He pressed gently into her hand, leaning into her fingers as they stroked over him.

Maru continued to purr, though he wished he could purr louder, the rumble would easily be felt in little vibrations under the girls fingers. He knew it wasn't much, but it was the best he could do. Maru was created to fight... He wasn't made to do things like this. This was something, a rare something, he actually wanted to do. Maybe he couldn't go and find the person who had caused the hurt of everyone, but he could do his best to try and help those who had been hurt. In the only way he knew how.
