[He goes to say something, startled at the other's sudden actions, but never gets the words out of his mouth before his own hand is taken and placed against the other.
Whatever his normal reaction would have been to such actions once his hand was placed against the bare skin, however, is replaced by his shock at not feeling anything but smoothness where bone and fur should have been. Asato freezes a moment before he can't help himsel, shifting his fingers to feel about the area as well as if maybe he's simply off a few centimeters and missing the tail altogether.
He's not missing the tail, though. No, there's no tail to be missed. ]
How...?
[He's caught between awe and concern. That isn't how it's supposed to be. Every cat has a tail. So why did this one not? His own tail twitches slightly, curling itself subconsciously at the thought of another cat missing one.
Unlike Asato, however, the other cat doesn't seemed concerned by the lack of something so very important. He swallows, before stating the very obvious.]
...You really have no tail.
[The words sound so foreign to him even as he says them. No tail just like the two-canes.
Ears. No tail.
The only others to not have tails are devils. (But he's lacking the horns—much to Asato's relief.)
...So how does he have no tail...?!] That's impossible.
