Lucavion leaned back in his chair, swirling the teacup in his hand as he took a slow sip. The room was quiet now, Anne having left after setting everything down, leaving only him and Vitaliara.
He let out a small chuckle, tilting his head slightly. "You didn't have to be so harsh on her like that, you know."
[Humph.] Vitaliara flicked her tail, not bothering to lift her head from his lap. [I am too noble to be touched by just anyone.]
Lucavion snorted. "Yeah, yeah. But you didn't have to glare daggers at her."
[Shut up. Don't tell me what to do.]
Lucavion's smirk grew. "So defensive."
Vitaliara merely turned her head away with a sharp flick of her tail.
"Alright, alright," Lucavion relented before grinning. "You peeping cat."
[I am not a peeping cat!] Vitaliara snapped immediately, her fur bristling as she finally lifted her head to glare at him.
Lucavion chuckled into his teacup. He had been waiting for that reaction.
