Shadow squirmed a bit in discomfort. Why was he always trying to touch them? To pull them into his arms? Was this some kind of gesture of superiority? Was it because he was taller than them?
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“I’m not just a cat, though! My claws and teeth are designed to kill people and monsters!” they insisted, scowling at him. Why was he being so stubborn about this? Why did it matter if they hugged him back or not? They were just a demon! A total monster! Nothing but a war tool!
“Humans can kill too. Doesn’t mean we’re any less of a friend!” Kami finally let go, feeling quite happy.
“I know you’re a Dragon, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be your friend.”
