Rufi looked up at pitifully. I looked at her with a wicked smile. "Co on, don’t you think it’s ti we had a little chat?"
Rufi looked down, thoughts racing through her head. A little chat? She wants to...? But I’ve been...? A torn expression crossed Rufi’s small lion-like face. For years now in Noe’s service she had only communicated in Beast’s tongue. Ever since I had beco her master, she still hadn’t given that up. Setting aside her dignity as one of the foremost warriors of the Shadow Chira clan, she had behaved far more like a pet than a competent compatriot, if she gave that up now, wouldn’t that just be too embarrassing?
In Rufi’s head her pet side, and her warrior side were mutually incompatible with eachother, for them to coexist barriers had to be maintained.
"Aroo, aroo." Rufi whined, looking up at with a pitiful expression. She’s bluffing about getting to chat, if I just stay strong, she’ll cave!
"Rufi, I..." looking in those big puppy eyes, I faltered a little. "No!" I crossed my arms, looking away. "I won’t be fooled by your cuteness! Why is there blood on your claws? I need an explanation!" I tried to be strong, though in truth I truly wondered if I was pushing it too far. I don’t know if she actually did anything wrong after all...
"Silvie," Rivi gently butted in. "Why don’t we ask around the village, see if anyone’s hurt? Maybe Rufi just went out for a bit of hunting? She is a beast after all, we shouldn’t be too hard on her."
"O-ok," I totally crumbled, guilt gnawing at as I continued looking at Rufi’s pitiful expression. "L-let’s go find out then."
I took Rivi’s arm and we left Rufi behind to go investigate.
Yes! Rufi imdiately dropped her pitiful expression once I was out of sight, and rolled happily on the ground a couple tis at her victory. I’m still a pet! Wait...is that sothing I should really be celebrating? She shifted her eyes as she pushed back the warrioress part of her to the back of her mind. Pets, treats, and no responsibility! That’s my life motto!
[Bell: I see you think you’re so smooth]
"Roo!" Rufi jumped as a glowing blue box appeared out of nowhere. She frowned as she read the text on the screen.
[Rufi: Who are you! What is this! How did you find ! I’ll tear you apart!!!]
[Bell: hehe who am I? I’m a mysterious genie in the sky who knows everything about you]
Rufi’s eyes narrowed.
[Rufi: Yeah right, you’re just using the screens that mistress has access to, and you sll kinda like her too. Is this a trick just to get to talk? I’m not confessing! I’m just a pet!]
[Bell: Darn, why are you so clever? (·•᷄∩•᷅ ) ok, I’m not a genie, but I’m not Silvie either]
[Bell: or well...I’m kind of Silvie, but not really? I don’t know it’s confusing, but needless to say just because you’re talking to doesn’t an you’re talking to Silvie, and I’m not going to rat you out unless...]
[Rufi: Unless?]
[Bell: ( ｰ̀εｰ́ ) wouldn’t you like to know?]
[Rufi: Stupid! I’m mistress’ pet, try and tell her, think she’ll believe you? Rufi’s done nothing wrong! Then I’ll tear your throat out anyways!]
[Bell: Alright, alright! Sorry, really I just wanted to tease you, I didn’t an anything bad by it, I won’t really rat you out. I just...think we might have so common interests...]
[Rufi: Are you trying to sche against mistress? Rufi has no business with traitors!]
[Bell: No! No! Geez can you stop getting the wrong ideas!! I’m trying to be all mysterious and you’re making look bad ૮ ⸝⸝o̴̶̷᷄ ·̭ o̴̶̷̥᷅⸝⸝ ა]
[Bell: Well...it’s just that...you see...um...I’m kinda lonely in here...]
[Bell: So I thought that...]
[Bell: Maybe...]
[Bell: We could be friends...?]
[Bell: If you want, if not it’s no big deal!!!!!]
Rufi blinked. The floating blue box...wanted to be friends with her? She tilted her head in confusion.
[Rufi: ’In...here’? Where exactly are you? Are you trapped in this blue box?]
[Bell: No! Or well...kinda. No, I’m in Silvie’s soulscape, I’m a parallel soul born from a fragnt of divinity she inherited.]
[Rufi: ohhhh, that’s what you ant when you said you were kind of Silvie, I was so confused. Ok, we can be friends!]
[Bell:...just like that???]
[Rufi: Why not? You’re not going to tell Silvie, and sotis Rufi wishes she could talk more too, even though she likes being a pet.]
[Bell: Th-thank you...I look forwards to being your friend!!!!]
[Rufi: too ;)]
[Bell: Hey you learned how to use an emoji!]
[Rufi: Is that what those little faces are called? How do you even do those big faces, there aren’t keys for those characters??]
[Bell: Hehe, this, my friend, is a secret ᗜ⩊ᗜ]
[Rufi: I changed my mind, actually I don’t want to be your friend!]
[Bell: Whaaaat!? No! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, don’t be mad!]
[Rufi: he, too easy]
[Bell:... ૮₍ ˶>⤙
