Small error of judgment

A smile touched Zee's face as he spoke of her being his only friend, and she stepped back from grooming his side to display it to him warmly. "Thank you. I hope that our betters do not think less of you for befriending a slave, but I think I enjoy you enough to risk it. I hope I will be a good friend to you." She moved in to sit closer to his head, leaning down to groom the top of his skull and behind his ears. She felt the vibrations of his growl upon him as she worked, and for once was not scared by the expression. It didn't feel like it was directed at her, although she couldn't think of any other reason he might be angry except when she did wrong. "Perhaps if you truly feel like you have a choice, then you still might be able to be saved. As your first friend, I'll make it my life's work to it." Her voice was firm and serious, though it ended with a quiet chuckle as she considered all the ways she might need to act out to force him to come out of his obedient robotic shell. It didn't take long to ensure the fur upon his handsome face was cleaned, and once she was done she stepped back to admire her work - gaze softening fondly as she looked upon him. "Mmm, it's not my best work." Her eyes trailed away to the darkening sky above. "It is getting late, however. I fear it might rain, we should maybe get home." She did not want to think that the cluster of clouds overhead might contain more then just water, and shuddered slightly. Though he had offered her his den in case of storms, she still felt silly to ever need to use it. If she could make it back to hers with enough time to spare, she hoped she could fall into a deep enough slumber quick enough to not notice any storms. "Will your companion need help with the feathers, or should we continue tomorrow?" "Speech" "Thinking" "You." |
