"Hehe, Bastian, what are you doing!?" Tara Summer exclaimed as the little creature's nudging tickled her, prompting her to hold its body close.
She couldn't stop laughing, "Bastian, stop moving, it's so itchy..."
The little Dragon Beast King seemed not to have heard her, continuing to nuzzle against her, while occasionally lifting its head to glance at Liam Yancey by the bed.
"Hehe..." Tara looked back and forth between the little Dragon Beast King and the man, giggling all the while.
Noticing the faint fear in Bastian's eyes, she finally understood why it kept burrowing into her embrace.
"Bastian, aren't you the fearless little Dragon Beast King? Why are you scared of people now!?" Tara held Bastian's head with both hands, pulling it slightly away as she squinted her eyes and smiled.
"Wuwu..." The little Dragon Beast King whimpered twice before finally speaking, "I'm a girl now, of course I'm scared..."
"Hehe." As soon as Bastian spoke, Tara couldn't help but laugh out loud.
