Konrad was grinning while he poked Tavy with his finger.
The two of them were currently laying in the grass with Konrad facing the little slime and playing with it. He would poke It, only for Tavy to wiggle back to him in an amusing way.
They were supposed to experiment and look for ways to make the familiar stronger, but somehow, in the middle of their research, they began to just play around with each other. They quickly bonded with each other, as the little slime was a very obedient and smart companion, who seemed to adore being patted.
It also turned out, that Tavy really enjoyed just wobbling around, occasionally chasing Konrad. It wasn't really fast as it was moving through some kind of a 'snail rolling technique', but it appeared to be having fun, even though it couldn't catch up to Konrad.
After getting a bit more used to it, Konrad could better understand the emotions he felt from Tavy. When he wasn't paying attention their connection wouldn't be visible, but If he focused enough, he would clearly feel if Tavy was sad or happy, or even understand through emotions, what it tried to express to him.
It was a quiet weird experience, having another consciousness in your head, but Konrad was happy to have Tavy.
Only after their playing session, Konrad realized that he needed some rest. He was spending most of his free time training and experimenting, rarely ever going out to meet his friends, and even then he would continue training his Mana control and capacity when they weren't looking.
Tavy was like a favourite pet or close friend, that he could just sit and spend time with, mindlessly playing or even talking to it because it appeared to understand him somehow. It wasn't very smart, but Konrad wasn't expecting it to be. True. It had an improved intelligence, but it was still on the level of a little child that has very little knowledge about the world.
Konrad found out that he enjoyed teaching Tavy about everything around them, from the simplest things of what were the names of plants around them and slowly rising the level. it was somewhere when he was showing Tavy a dandelion which grew from the ground, that they began to play the poking game.
The game was very simple. Tavy would wiggle accordingly to Konrad's pokes. But soon after it became another learning game as Konrad decided to teach Tavy numbers by counting the number of pokes and wiggles.
They didn't even realize when it began to darken. Konrad realized that they needed to head back home and a new problem appeared. How was he supposed to keep Tavy without anyone noticing it?!
Because of being used to researching alone, Konrad said his thoughts out loud making Tavy hear his concern, and because it also felt his emotions, Tavy understood that it's Daddy was worried, so the little slime tried to come up with a solution as well.
Then it suddenly sprung up and wobbled onto his lap. Konrad looked at it curiously, understanding that Tavy wanted to reach his hand, so he outstretched it. The slime crawled into it and suddenly, the usually round creature, lost its shape and looked as if it melted around his hand. Then, it moved further and before he knew it, Konrad's wrist was covered in a blue jelly with a red orb in the place where the face of a wristwatch is usually located. He instantly understood what Tavy meant. He could easily move around with the slime hidden under his sleeve because no one would be able to see it.
It was actually quiet a good idea for now. Like this he wouldn't have a problem with going back home and then he would have more time to think about further arrangements. There was no way he would be living Tavy anywhere alone though. It was too young and to important for him already. This few hours was enough to make them very close to each other, and there was no speaking about separation.
Somehow, even though it brought him a bunch of inconveniences...Konrad was very happy with that outcome...

"I'm home!" Konrad proclaimed when he entered his house.
"Konrad!"
His brother was the first to greet him, by running and crushing him with a hug. Konrad hugged him back and said.
"Hey bro, what's for supper today?"
"The sausages will be ready in a few minutes! You're just in time son!"voice of their mother could be heard from the kitchen.
Konrad smiled hearing this. He was already quiet hungry so he couldn't wait to eat. Suddenly he felt something brushing his cheek so he looked at shoulder.
Tavy was currently sitting there and it seemed like she also wanted a sausage. Konrad grinned. It would be his final test.
When they were walking towards their house, Konrad had a sudden idea. He took out the Amulet of Phobos and asked Tavy if it could put the Amulet inside of itself, without corroding it. When the little Slime finally understood, it easily sucked it in, letting the amulet float inside of itself without damaging it with his corrosive body. It seemed like Tavy could easily control how corrosive it actually was so there was no problem.
He already saw how it digested some leaves and other plants before, but he also realized that Tavy might not even be strong enough to tigest metals yet, so he needn't have to worry. Of course he was proven wrong later when after giving Tavy a coin, the slime digested it in only 20 minutes, so it was good that he asked Tavy not to digest it, in great details...
After giving it the amulet, Tavy became the target of Aura Of Ignorance and Konrad could walk around, with Tavy sitting freely on his shoulder.
_______
Konrad and his familiar entered the kitchen where the supper was already served. It was a simple dish. A few sandwiches, Sausages eggs and tea but it was enough. Tavy wiggled in anticipation on his shoulder and Konrad smiled. seems like It was also hungry for something more nutritious or it just decided that if Daddy likes it then Tavy should like it too...
Konrad smiled seeing the excited slime and began to eat. Every now and then a piece of sausage or sandwich would miss his mouth and enter the blue Jelly on his shoulder. Konrad felt that Tavy was very happy, though he wasn't sure if it was appreciating the taste or the fact that Konrad ate it too. In any case, When they entered his room a few minutes later, Tavy was a very happy slime.
