The cold is blistering, so much so that the window is glossed with ice.
I laid on the soft pillow which was my bed. After burning the past four, my master sprayed this one with some odd smelling stuff which kept me from igniting it, even on accident. I sighed and watched as my breath fogged up the already hazy window. From the kitchen, I could hear my masters talking while soft music played. They enjoyed cooking, I enjoyed it too. Lot's of good stuff, and they always share. All I have to do is just give them that wide-eyed look and their hearts melted faster than a marshmallow touching my mane. I stretched my fore-paws out in front of me and arced my head back while yawing. I lazily rolled off of my bed and onto the tile floor - it used to be wood, but you can guess why they changed it - and got up. I leisurely walked to the kitchen and watched my masters. It took them a moment to notice I was there, but when they did the female, who the male called Honey, walked over to me and rubbed my head affectionately. I gave her a lazy grin and licked her hand in gratitude. She chuckled and turned away. After a few sounds with the male, who she called Sweetie, picked up a piece of steak and tossed it my way. Things moved in slow motion as I watched the steak float through the air. My mouth watered and I opened my jaws to catch it. I closed them when I believed the steak was in my mouth, but to my surprise it fell and struck me on the head. They laughed and I gave them another grin, awkwardly mimicking their happy expressions, the quickly snatched up the meat. Sweetie walked over and crouched in front of me. I mimicked him and watched his facial expression for any hints as to what he was up to. Excitement gleamed in his eyes and he spoke to me quickly and in a higher pitch. Good things, lot's of good things. He straightened suddenly and I jumped up and span in my excitement. He laughed and walked with Honey to the living room. Honey patted my pillow and I dove onto it before rolling onto my back. She proceeded to give me some perfect belly rubs while Sweetie walked to grab a strange box I had failed to notice. I rolled back over suddenly and stared intently at it, pondering it's contents. Sweetie set it down and patted the top of it. Following his command, I pounced on it and ripped off the top. Inside were three odd looking things... cylinders with little faces. I sniffed the largest and pulled my head back as Honey picked it up. She held it out to me and I slowly took it in my fore-paws. It was warm, very warm. I chirped in excitement and pranced around before obeying the hand sign to stay. I held still as she stacked one ontop of the large one and another on my nose. I grinned when she did and released another happy chirp before launching onto my pillow with my new warm items. I curled up behind them and watched as the odd box lit up and displayed strange images and colors. I let out a content sigh and smiled. I love my masters.

Personality
Kura was born domesticated and thus has very weak instincts concerning life in the wild. Because of this, he is a total sweet heart to everyone he meets and seems to never have a thought of danger. He get's easily excited over what other viscets may deem small, such as a hug from Sweetie or Honey, and getting small cooked snacks, or even when his masters roast marshmallows over his mane. He loves all things that have to do with his masters and thus rarely ever leaves them alone. He is quite protective of them and his home, however, a trait he kept from his ancestry. He grows greatly cautious with strangers within his home or near his masters and always has to be the first one to interact with anything or anyone new. This can be quite intimidating, particularly when the door is first opened and your first sight is a nine foot tall viscet with fire on it's back rushing at you, and it is not uncommon for people to flee. However, that is not a wise choice. Kura is extremely playful and when someone runs from him, he sees it as a challenge to a game of tag and he will not loose at that. If you flee from him, prepare for a long chase which will either end in you being tackled and licked on the head and face, or Kura growing bored or distracted and going off to explore something that caught his eye. This is the greatest flaw of Kura and also why his masters are cautious with taking him outside. The massive creature is easily distracted and loves trees, even though he does not mean good news for them. Far too many forest fires have been started by his curiosity, so much so that the city which they live near threatened to put him down should another happen. Luckily for Kura, his masters would rather die than loose him, and so they moved further from trees and cities, though it doesn't stop his curiosity.
