[ Kida's reply is laughter, pleasure divided between his enjoyment of the gift and his 'admiration' of Ninat.
The cat's gaze follows the stretch and flex of Gintoki's hand, 'watching' the electricity that dances up and down his arm. She extends her head, bumps her nosy against his palm. The texture is like a crab's carapace, touch and bony, and sliding his hand to the side, along her cheek, will reveal a prickly, leathery skin, like a shark or ray. As he touches her, Ninat will progressively tuck her chin, to indicate that she'd like him to scratch around her crest. The crest itself isn't flexible, but it's compose of interlocking plates that shift as she moves; all along the length of her back, from nose- to tail-tip, is a line of luminescent cartilage.
Ninat doesn't purr, but if he scratches just so, she'll keep leaning her body weight into his scratching. And just. Not stop? ]
