As Rey closes her eyes, Elleru takes the opportunity to run her fingers through Rey's shaggy hair, gently brushing through the strands, carefully pulling at any tangles that curl around her hand. While preening is a social activity among her people, she's learned that humans tend to be more guarded with such contact, not allowing anyone but those they know and trust to be so close. Rey has been especially reluctant to form such connections, even with someone who has been trying her hardest to reach out to her, so for her to rest her head on Elleru's lap and close her eyes...

Well, Elleru can't help but feel she's special in some way, like she's done what others would deem impossible. With only the sound of the water for accompaniment, she hums to herself, her voice and song peppered with murmured trills and thrums as she goes through the melody. Rey is sharing something special with her, so it's only right she do the same.
