Ah. I've made a mistake. How could I not think that she would react like this? It was so obvious.
"Blossom." I say, which stirs Ayame too, who similarly seems to have missed this small detail. Hearing me call the dog-kin's name Ayame turns her head and grimaces upon coming to the same realization I did.
Blossom sits up and listens to me obediently and intently.
"I know the bed might be small for three people, but please do come up. There's enough space for all of us."
She looks at me with uncertainty. I'm a bit hurt that she is still so cautious, but I completely understand what she thinks.
"Don't worry, Blossom. I will sleep between you and him so you can go to rest with peace of mind."
Blossom turns her head to Ayame, whom she scrutinizes for a few seconds before refocusing on me, her eyes filled with worry. "Is it really okay for Blossom to…?"
