Hours had passed, and my body ached from the repetitive drills I had been putting Ori through.
I sat cross-legged on the floor, wiping a bead of sweat from my brow as I watched the little wolf stare at , his blue eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and annoyance.
Mainly annoyance.
"All right, Ori," I said, stretching my arms and groaning. "Ti to see if any of this stuck."
The wolf huffed, a sound so human-like it made chuckle.
Standing up, I pointed at him with mock authority.
"Move to the left!" I said.
Ori blinked at , clearly unimpressed, before begrudgingly shuffling a step to the left.
"Now the right," I instructed, trying to sound firm.
He hesitated for a mont before stepping right, his fluffy tail twitching in irritation.
"Good boy!" I grinned, clapping my hands. Ori didn't seem as thrilled as I was.
"Now sit." i said
Ori reluctantly sat.
"Now stand." I said standing up.
Ori tilted his head, looking at like I have completely lost it, but he eventually stood.
Well, as much as a wolf impossibly could.
As much as I hate to admit it, this wolf looks smarter than I am.
He learned everything so fast, just in a few hours.
"That's it!" I cheered, only for him to collapse onto the floor in protest.
I sighed, sitting back on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah, I get it, buddy. We'll call it a day."
Ori didn't move for a mont, then leapt up onto the bed, curling into a ball near the pillow.
He had clearly claid his spot, and I didn't have the heart to move him.
Leaning back, I stared at the ceiling, my mind wandering.
What now? The day had been long, but the real question was what tomorrow would bring.
With a sigh, I pushed myself off the bed and headed for the fridge.
Opening it, I found a protein bar and a carton of milk.
The milk wasn't fresh, but it would do.
I grabbed a wide cup, poured the milk into it, and set it on the floor.
"Here," I said, gesturing for Ori. "Milk's supposed to be good for you... I think."
I'm a total newbie in training pets, I didn't have one so it is not my fault, not that I don't like them I do, but I didn't have ti to train one.
Work has always been my priority, I didn't have ti for other things.
Except for reading novels of course, I had to make special ti for that.
Suddenly a sad realisation hit ...
My subscription for future Chapters might have been confird already.
And I can't read it.
So sad.
Ori perked up, hopping off the bed with surprising grace.
He padded over, sniffed the cup, and began lapping at the milk with gusto.
Watching him, I realized he wasn't as fragile as a newborn.
It didn't even look like one.
His build was lean, his fur thick and healthy.
He looked closer to a three-five months old wolf.
As Ori enjoyed his milk, I peeled open the protein bar, taking a bite.
The dry, slightly sweet taste wasn't great, but it was better than nothing.
I glanced at Ori, who had finished the milk and was now staring at intently.
"You want so, don't you?" I said, holding up the bar.
His ears perked, and his tail wagged slightly.
I waved the bar in front of him teasingly. "You think you can just have so of this? You gotta earn it!"
Ori's eyes narrowed, and before I could react, he jumped back onto the bed, sitting upright like a disciplined soldier.
"You're not ssing around, huh?" I laughed, breaking off a small piece of the bar and hiding it in my hand.
I pretended to hand it over, only to pull my hand back at the last second.
Ori glared at , his head tilting in confusion as I repeated the motion a few more tis.
"Patience is a virtue," I teased, savoring another bite myself.
In the end, Ori gave up, flopping onto the bed with an exaggerated sigh.
Feeling a bit guilty, I tossed him the small piece I'd been holding.
His ears shot up, and he snapped it out of the air with surprising speed.
"Happy now?" I asked, watching as he joyfully chewed.
Satisfied, I stretched out on the bed, Ori curling up beside .
The room was quiet, As my thoughts drifted again to the days ahead.
How can I survive here?
Ori shifted closer, his warm fur brushing against my arm.
I reached out and scratched behind his ears, earning a soft huff of approval.
"Guess we'll figure it out together, huh?" I murmured.
