Philomena felt her heart melt in her chest as Nau made her promise. Forever. She returned the hug with a loving kiss to her daughter’s head. She was so lucky, she thought to herself again. So, so lucky. They were the blessings in her life… a distraction for a small from the other responsibilities in her adult life. She found her tail wagging slowly back and forth and with a warm feeling in her heart.

You gotta warn me you’re there.” Or else the real monsters might get you. Philly shook that thought away and gently nosed Nausicaa before asking; “So what does my little one want to play? Tag? Hide and seek?”
