Ayame's cheeks begin to redden due to the overwhelming interest the dog-kin is showing in her getting petted, so I relieve her from her misery. Well, somewhat. "Ayame especially likes when I do this action while embracing her in a tight hug. Watch." I say with a cheeky grin before hugging the silently protesting girl (based on her furious eyes) close to my body with my left hand, while I never relent from my assault on her head with the other one.
Despite her initial protests Ayame quickly melts into my embrace. "Ohhh! That really does look strangely comfortable! Because Master Quinlan is so much taller it looks like a father guarding his adolescent pup or a male protecting his weakened mate!" Blossom shouts energetically and then begins jumping around us to once again observe the strange phenomenon from all possible angles while wagging her tail even faster than before.
