Wait, what just happened? Did I... did I just breathe fire?
And why is the treecat on fire?
"Meow! Meeeeooow! MEEEOOOWWW!!!"
"Calm down."
I lifted the panicking treecat and patted its tail to put out the flames. It was a bit singed, but not too bad.
"Meow (Translation: I'm this close to reporting you to animal rights groups!)"
"Hey, you're already black, so it's not that noticeable. Don't worry."
"Meow (Translation: That's *not* the issue! Honestly, Akaya-kun, you really don't get cats. You should learn to understand me better.)"
"More importantly... I just breathed fire."
"Meow (Translation: Why'd you do that?)"
"I was hoping you could tell me."
The two of us looked at each other, both tilting our heads in confusion.
"Meow (Translation: So it's not some kind of skill you unlocked?)"
"No, definitely not. I don't have any fire-breathing skills. Besides, why would I want to suddenly breathe fire at you?"
