We're all rather bothersome, aren't we? I apologize.

[HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS TO ME. His expression softens even if he isn't looking at her, hands folded on his chest.]

I know you're aware I don't care much for humans. However... I'm glad to have met you and some of the others here, too.

[bindings]

[WOW IT'S TRUE

she looks vaguely amused at this, at least.]

There was a time when a lot of people here thought that I wasn't. [she's not sure rang knows still. he has to right.] That is a high compliment coming from you.

[onlypets]

You are a very unique human. I have not met many like you, Miss Shenhe.

[He laughs, a lil huff of air.]

If only more humans were like you and Chris.

[idk why chris is such a funny name just like. count d and normal human chris]

Chris? [she's curious.]

[onlypets]

[THIS TAG MADE ME LAUGH SO BAD HELP ME]

Yes. The detective's little brother, Christopher.

[bindings]

[I'M NOT WRONG]

I see. He was tolerable, then.

[onlypets]

Yes. He was a sweet and adorable little boy. Not like the detective at all.

[bindings]

[a long pause.]

Did something happen to him?

[onlypets]

[I can hear your loud and angry panic in this tag. Hehe.]

No, nothing bad. [HEHE.] Their mother died in childbirth with him, and he blamed himself for her death. The family he stayed with after, their little girl told him it was his fault when they were arguing. Chris became mute following that, and he was mute when the detective brought him to the shop.

We could hear him, of course. And he could see the animals in their other forms. He stayed with us and was good friends with T-chan and Pon-chan. But little boys grow up. The longer Chris stayed, the harder it would be for him to leave, so when the family returned to apologize and ask him back again...

His voice returned when he accepted nothing had been his fault.
