When he spoke of her mother, she placed one of those paws against her chest. “I’d protect you.” she teased him lightly, her tail swaying to and fro behind her.

Placing both forepaws down on his stomach, and kneading them lightly in his fur. As if her tiny body could really do any harm to him. “Let me see… something easy. Two kisses, and a promise to love me forever.”
