Amai yelped and shot her hand back from the boiling pot. She turned on the sink and sighed in relief as the cold water cured her burn. Hearing scratches from the back door, and knowing who it was, she dried her hand off with a cloth and glanced around before quickly grabbing a small piece of cake then heading out back.
Kari backed up as the door opened and a human stepped out. Her tail swished in excitement as Amai leaned down, holding out a piece of cake in her hand. She gobbled it up hungrily, licking the last bits of it off her lips. Amai began to stroke her, and Kari walked small circles around the cook as she did so. Through the open door the sounds of someone entering could be heard. Amai stood and went back inside with a wave of goodbye back to the fox. Kari looked longingly at the door as it closed but shook it off and started to wander about the town, trying to avoid the villagers' gaze as she walked.
Furin strode aimlessly through the castle, having no real idea of where he was going but hoping it would be a place with some activity going on. As nice as having nothing to be done was, it was boring when he didn't know what to do with his time. He considered going to see the princess, but got rid of the idea quickly. If she did not call for him then she didn't need him.
Paton yawned and rolled over in his bed, looking at the rom upside-down. His tail wagged, it was rather funny to see the furniture appearing to be on the roof. As a knight passed by, he quickly got to his feet and ran after him. Furin looked down and chuckled, getting onto one knee and petting Paton. "Not going anywhere yet, buddy." He said. Paton's ears drooped as he learned that there was no mission to go on, but the knight's pets made him feel slightly better.
