[ okay he REFUSES to be embarrassed by this, he is a GROWN MAN and he knows how to talk about this without getting flustered, so he clears his throat, ear flicking. ]
I like anything that makes me feel something. You know how spicy I like my food. [ his tail flicks a bit too, wriggling in her hands. ] And who would know a body better than a healer, hm?
[ i hate to inform you that his tail is very sensitive so he probably has to suppress a shudder,
there's a pause, as he glances over at her with an amused look. thoughtful, too, like he's debating, and then - kind of just like. this weekend has sucked so bad. he's not a nun, and this would not be a struggle. maybe it'd be a better way to empty out his head than pulling out his tail fur.
[well, he doesn't have to tell her twice-- especially after tipping her off as to how sensitive his tail is.
she's not usually a tease, and doesn't really make this into one, but wiš'adel does take longer than she normally would; a distraction is a distraction, after all, and when it comes to those? she tries to deliver.]
...there. Think I undid all the damage I can.
[she finally says, following it up with a grin and:]
[ he takes the distraction for what it is - it's a bit of a relief. people so often want him to talk to them about his problems, and he doesn't know how. he doesn't know how to explain the emptiness or how to express that he does not think his feelings and hurts are worth discussing.
but he likes this. he likes feeling. the numbness gets terrible, sometimes, and this is a cure for that. as much as it can be.

[a long sweep of the brush, purposeful.]
You know, I thought you'd be more buttoned up, but maybe I should have just asked you?
