The raptor raised his head and began to audibly smell his surroundings while Jasper guided him into the unfamiliar room, and directed some especially loud sniffing toward the Baron as he passed him. He gaped his jaws afterward in a toothy grimace similar to the flehmen response in modern day mammals. The human male appeared to have a very specific reaction to Jasper. In the unique language of scent it translated as something the raptor would expect to smell during the mating season: attraction, of some kind.
Humans were so unusual! Didn't he know copulation was futile with another male? Of another species, no less.
He flexed both killing claws upward when the vampire touched one but was otherwise behaving just as tamely as Jasper promised he would. He resumed his content growl-purring when he was petted, his ever alert crimson eyes fixed on the Baron, trying to determine what relation this human had to his vampire packmate. There were only so many distinctions possible: enemy, prey, ally, family, mate. The last was unlikely; he knew Jasper's small mate by sight, by scent. Curiously, he made a short chirruping sound at the Baron.
