Why're You Here?

Malachi didn't understand why, but after he finished training Luna told him to go in her office and wait. 

Luna had her own private bathroom in her office as well, so he took a moment to wash up while he waited for her to return. 

Exiting the shower, he found that she still had yet to arrive, but there was now a large white fox sitting on the couch. 

Malachi clutched the towel around his neck and started to approach Luna's magical beast. 

Shiro didn't appear to be hostile in the slightest, even though these creatures supposedly abhorred everyone except for their partners. 

But one could clearly tell by looking into the fox's curious eyes that this wasn't the case with him. 

"You've grown since I've last seen you." Mal said. 

Suddenly, Shiro shrank back down to her usual travel size and gave Mal a look like she demanded praise.
