Sethe hurriedly shook his head.
How could he not welcome Cecilia?
But how was this going to be slept in?
His eyes went to the surprise nest Cecilia had given him.
Tonight, he would let Cecilia sleep in this nest, and he would just make do on the floor as usual.
A warm and soft touch suddenly came from her paw.
Sethe looked down and a small white hand held his paw.
Wanting to pull back, he was afraid of hurting Cecilia, his claws were sharp and if he wasn't careful he might cut through Cecilia's pale skin.
"Sethe, you come with me."
Sethe didn't resist and obeyed Cecilia's tugging to walk over to the litter.
"What are you waiting for? Come to me."
The young girl palmed the empty seat next to her and issued an invitation.
Sethe obeyed and laid down in the empty seat next to Cecilia.
"Sethe, do you want to learn words?" Cecilia snapped.
"Anon?"
"It's the universal language, you'll be able to read more if you learn the words."
"Anon!" Sethe nodded heavily.
Learn, must learn, learning to recognize words was necessary everywhere, he didn't want to be an illiterate lizard.
"Well, I'll teach you then."
"Let's start with the initial basics."
The night was long.
Studying until late into the night, Sethe herself couldn't remember when she fell asleep.
Opening her eyes the time was already the next day.
It's so soft~
Enjoying the softness of the mattress, Sethe slowly opened her eyes.
There was a warm scent coming from the side.
When her eyes looked to the side, a small, white, and flawless face came into view.
The young girl's skin was white and flawless, her long blue eyelashes were tightly closed, and her cherry-pink pink lips were like jelly.
Without any warning, the young girl's eyes suddenly opened.
"Good morning ah~ Sethe."
"Aang~"
Sethe raised her paw in response.
"That was fun studying last night, how about we continue later."
"Aang?"
Sethe wondered a bit.
How did Cecilia stay on her own for so long this time?
"It's fine oh, the academy side organized the students to go out for training, I'm not the accompanying teacher, so I'm quite free these days oh."
"Aang~!"
The confusion in his heart was solved, Sethe turned around and walked out of the tree house.
After making breakfast and finishing the meal together with Cecilia, it was time to study.
Cecilia had stayed in the treehouse for three days, and Sethe felt like she had a great time during those three days.
He also learned the basic words and now he could recognize all of them except for a few out-of-the-way ones.
"Well Sethe you don't have to see me off."
Sethe stopped walking and nodded lightly.
"Aang~"
"See you next time." The young girl waved.
Sethe also raised her paw to wave goodbye.
After watching Cecilia's back go away, Sethe returned to his treehouse.
Returning to the tree house, Sethe directly ran back to the small nest and got down, a faint fragrance of warmth remained on the bedding.
Smelling this fragrance, her thoughts couldn't help but become peaceful.
Okay, it's time to strengthen.
A golden thread began to float in the air.
There were a lot of them.
There were twenty-six of them.
He felt happy about spending the last few days with Cecilia.
So far his claws didn't have any problems trying to hunt wild beasts, it was the defense that was a bit lacking.
[Enhanced Scales]
Ten gold filaments disappeared into the scales of various parts of his body.
Looking at the remaining gold threads in front of him Sethe pondered for a while before making up his mind.
[Strengthen Abdominal Scales]
Battles needed to be frontal to the enemy, and the probability of receiving damage on the front was far greater than elsewhere.
Ten gold filaments didn't go into the abdomen.
The eyes looked towards the remaining six gold filaments.
[Strengthened Front Claws]
The last six gold threads had entered the front claws.
A huge drowsiness came over.
Sethe closed his eyes in compliance with the drowsiness and his consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep.
