Aegis debates for a while, but after a minute she gets up and pads softly across the room to peel back the blanket and see what's going on.

Her fingers brush fur, and she feels suddenly, bizarrely, like she's birding and Sue is pouring himself through the link at her - but there's no actual transfer, he's not linking normally if that's what's going on.

Under her fingers is a fluffy critter of some kind. Like he literally conjured up a stuffed animal.
