[Ren is only too happy to receive that bump against his hand, though before he can really start petting her again, she slips downwards, and he pauses in surprise. It's hard to interpret that as anything other than a sign of humility, and it's...strange, a little bit, to receive it in such a genuine manner. So much of what he receives from others is excessive bowing down to his position, to his ability, to his front - it's a tiny number of people indeed who've ever had reason to be grateful for something he did in all honesty, and he'll take a single occasion of that over a thousand people who know nothing about him he hasn't spoon-fed them casting themselves beneath his feet.
Then again, he's rarely this genuine with people. Amaterasu had an advantage from the start being in this kind of form, considering his soft spot for animals, and the fact that one doesn't think to be wary of their fronts in front of something so honest.
Leaning over her slightly, and draping his hair back over his shoulder so it doesn't tickle her nose, Ren rests a hand on one side of Amaterasu's chest and starts to rub in gentle circles. He's a bit too used to cats and their habit of objecting strongly and painfully to having their bellies rubbed for too long, so he wants to make sure Amaterasu is satisfied with it before he does anything too enthusiastic to her belly.]
Now if anyone wants to know your name, I can tell them as well. Would you like more people to know?
[He holds his free hand out flat so she can paw an answer against it if she likes.]
