I watched as Everlast just shouted at the pup. This thing here is not like us! She doesn't understand fully that concept! Besides, snapping at her is hardly a way to save her from something. Oh well. Now thanks to her, the thought of puppy armies will haunt me forever. Oh, if Diveen finds out about this weakness and locks me up in a den with those fluff things, I will die. NO!! It is not silly, it is not dumb, you don't understand. They are like spiders. But cute spiders! Little nice, loving and cute spiders. I'm afraid of hurting them and in consequence, I'm afraid of them. It makes perfect sense! i'm afraid of something I cannot hurt!... Spiders are not nice, though.

She snuggled deeper in my fur and stayed there until Everlast left. Then, bouncy and bright, the girl looked up and asked me if I would take her home.

-Alright... Where is-

I was interupted by the sudden burst of happiness and the pat of her tail against me. She had another idea. One that I hated just as much. Explore? Explore what? I cannot explore the mortal world anymore deeper than I already have. But of course, if I tell her I'm a god, she will run away. Not that I don't want her to. But I don't want her to run away for that particular reason. Perhaps I should snarl. But I CAANT!!... I cannot snarl. It is frustrating.

- Shiny? Like water?

I have no idea of what she was talking about. At least not shiny things.

- Uh... Have you ever stayed close to a storm?

I asked her, knowing that soon there would be one. Since it was my favorite time-killer, perhaps I could take the girl. If she agreed and stayed with me one night I could test my theory that fluffy things may serve as a pillow. She bounced around me, asking me to show her and teach her how to be fierce.

- I.. I don't know if I can be fierce... I can try,

Not to you, no... Pups... no...
