1X1 with ~Griffin: Scout and Akane

[Maxella Roe]

"Well we'll have to be careful to watch her closely. Wouldn't want her to get hurt. But sure, I was helping my mom can when I was her size." She shrugged.

Scout chuckles softly, then a light frown finds his muzzle. "She's small for her age," he murmurs. "I'm sure she'll be just fine."

[Maxella Roe]

"Well, I wouldn't want her to fall into the pot." She said, trying not to imagine the little one falling into a boiling pot of thick hot fruit. She felt a shiver down her spine at the image and shook her head vigorously to clear it from her mind.

Scout rubs her back comfortingly and licks her cheek. "I'm sure she won't do that," he murmurs soothingly. "Ami is a good listener. Just tell her what she has to do, and she'll do it. She trusts you a lot too so I doubt she'll go against you."

[Maxella Roe]

"I still want a hand on her at all times. And I might have her just sit back and listen the first few times. There's still a big risk of her getting hurt." She said. "Kids can be impulsive and often don't think before they rush into something. I can't help but be worried at least a little bit." She defended.

"It's up to you, my sweet berry," he murmurs. He had a feeling she didn't quite understand the truth about Ami, but he was nervous to bring it up. Not everyone liked the children with permanent pup syndrome, no matter how sweet they were, and he wasn't inclined to spell it out for her just in case she was one of those few. She would find out eventually, anyway, and by then she would know just how sweet and loving Ami was even with such a curse.

[Maxella Roe]

She felt her face flush with insecurity at his tone. What are you hiding Scout? she managed to stop herself before she spoke the words, but that didn't stop her feeling like he was hiding something from her.

[Weeping_Angel }Y{]

Scout nuzzles her ears. "I love you, sweet berry," he murmurs warmly.

[Maxella Roe]

She blushed and flicked her ears, still suspicious as his nose brushed her soft feathering. She tried to ignore the prickling curiosity.

[Weeping_Angel }Y{]

"Is something on your mind?" he purrs, licking her cheek.
