Elle had a theory that, with how much comfort Price seemed to get from petting Concrete Blonde, he might feel more comfortable in her Feline form.

She watches him reach out and holds herself still, not moving when he touches her.

As he begins to pet her, she only shifts slightly to allow him a better angle for his hand so that his wrist won't cramp up. She isn't settled enough to purr (she could force it, but she honestly doesn't feel like spending the emotional energy) but she does let out a huff of approval.

It's kind of sad how he feels safer with a deadly animal than around a teen girl. Understandable, maybe even reasonable, but still sad.
