Lisbeth nodded. "Kind of like a cat," she whispered. "Just got to let it decide if it likes you."
She'd had a cat once, when she was young. She remembered the way the cat had liked to be touched, so much so that it would come rub against her insistently until she pet it just the right way.
She reached down, taking advantage of the rabbit's calmed state, and let her fingers brush against its cheek. It flinched, but seemed to enjoy the gentle touch. She used just the tip of her finger to rub his cheek in slow, gentle strokes.
"So," she whispered, unsure where to go next, "what exactly do you need to do with it? Take it with you?" She had serious doubts about the rabbit going so far as to allow itself to be picked up and carried off. Even her cat would squirm and kick when it wanted to get down, and the cat hadn't been able to teleport. Taking the rabbit anywhere away from its home seemed an impossible task.
