Samantha's offer.

"Brother!!!" A shout was heard in the room, followed by a spatial movement. 

A little boy with the ears and tail of a small tiger fell into my arms.

"Rafa? What are you doing here?" I asked while stroking his ears and hair. It wasn't 100% unexpected that he was here, but it was still a bit surprising.

"Hehehehe," he laughed, not answering me, just rubbing his head against my chest.

I hugged him and turned my gaze to Samantha.

"It's good to see you. Does this little one have anything to do with the proposal you mentioned?" I asked curiously.

She shook my extended left hand and responded.

"It's a pleasure. He has nothing to do with it, but he overheard me talking to Nera and then begged to come along. I even had to make him skip daycare today."

"I see," I replied while gently pinching his cheek and playing with him.

Samantha smiled at this, but soon seemed eager to talk business.
