When we returned to the cottage, my new outfits in hand, we entered to find Anput and Leone standing around, the Vampire frowning slightly as she stared at the Jackalkin.
Anput was shrouded in an upset aura, her ears drooping and her tail pressed against her legs.
When she heard the door open, her ears perked up slightly, her obsidian eyes glimmering with tears as she rushed forwards.
Launching herself into my arms, she clung desperately to me, her lithe body trembling slightly in my embrace.
Sliding one arm around her waist and another behind her head, I pulled her closer and held her, a frown on my face as I glanced at Leone, wondering what had happened.
However, the Vampire could only shrug, her tired expression making me a little more confused as she walked over to Jahi, leaning against the equally confused Demoness.
Hearing Anput start to sob quietly, I gently started walking her to her room, the Jackalkin stuck to my side like glue.
