I feed the fresh meat to Qai. He happily eats it. I didn't think Ian would let me keep him as my pet. Of course, he will let it. Since Qai is a wild beast, he will protect his owner.
"You eat...w--well." I talk to him.
He nods.
"I--I surprised....that you u--understand me." I stroked his fur.
He purrs under my touch as he keeps leaning on my touch. Well, it is not surprising though when I think it again. Ian said he's not an ordinary tiger.
I don't know tigers have various types of species. But who cares? I don't.
"Look at t--this face!!" I coo over his cute face.
He licked my face making me laugh. "Okay. T--That's enough!! It...It t--tickle..."
As he keeps licking my face, Claire comes in. When she saw what happened, her face grew paler. This scene might show her that Qai is trying to eat me.
My laughter makes her sigh in relief. I think people in this palace need to get used to Qai.
