Arthur's grin widened as he watched Neko struggle with her own thoughts. The internal conflict playing out on her tiny, furred face was almost too amusing to bear.
"Finally, the day has come," he muttered under his breath, his smirk growing. Slowly, he raised his hand toward her. "Let me pet you."
Neko's eyes narrowed as she glared at his approaching hand. Her tail flicked with irritation, but her body betrayed her.
"Why am I moving towards him-nya? I can't let him touch me! I'm the proud princess of the Primordial Felidae clan-nya! How am I unable to resist this human's commands-nya?!"
Despite her fierce internal protests, Neko's head tilted slightly, her soft fur brushing against Arthur's palm.
She rubbed against his hand, her ears twitching as his fingers gently scratched behind them. A soft purr began to rumble from her chest despite her defiant thoughts.
