[There are jokes she won't make, even if it's being playful, and things like that are one of them. She knows Adonis well enough to know that he'd take it poorly, that the subject is far too raw.
There's no flicker in her expression, no pause before her reply, but she really wishes he hadn't made a joke like that.]
You give better massages than I do.
[It's sort of true, at least, if only because Donny can use warmth and ice so easily.]
[Quiet agreement, because she really doesn't want to press this joke too much, not when there are landmines underneath it.]
It's good, thank you.
[Just casually wiggling her toes a little (the way normal people can, don't worry she isn't doing anything weird with shapeshifting) as if to indicate that is indeed a very good foot rub.]
( The kitten is purring very loudly, drawing a bit more of a grin from Donny as he watches her twist around to try and lean into Max's touch some more. At the toe wiggle, he gently grabs one of Max's toes, squeezes it before letting go again.)
You've g-got a new fan.
( And the he's just lapsing into silence, again. Comfortable silence, where the only concern is awesome foot and calf massage. He's good at that.)
[Just in case there was ever any doubt, though she's at least indulging the kitten by gently petting her fur.
For all that she's still a little unsure about having a cat in the apartment, she can at least admit that the creature is cute, and this is... nice, comfortable. They can make room for the kitten in their life here, she's sure.]

( Speaking of, this is an awesome foot rub she's getting, his thumbs pressing into the sole of her foot harder, then softer again. )
D-does that feel okay?
( maybe he should just shut up and rub feet )
