A tapping against her side and softly murmured words made Xero grumble, her ear flicking back with annoyance. Dumb fairy bug, she was tired now. It is sleep time. And besides, the bug was the little one. “Nuh-uh,” she grumped, protesting and refusing to open her eyes. Mountains were big, and she felt very small. “Don’ wanna.”
Ohhhh okay but then there was a very loud screamy yell from not far away at all, and Xero bolted to her feet the fastest she’d ever done in her whole wide existence that she could remember, silvery-gold eyes wiiiide and staring right at the very big kitty. She blinked hard and shook her head, puzzled. Kitties were...friends, right? This one looked really mad, but she was pretty sure kitties were friends. She took a step closer, head tilting. “Kitty?” Kitties were for playing, all twitching tails and pouncing, playful growls and eyes flashing from treetops giving away their hiding spots.
Yeah, kitties were definitely for playing, even when their eyes flashed from blue to black and they turned to walk away. So she grinned and gave a happy little hop, tail waggling with excitement. “Come back! I’ll play with you!” Tired was suddenly a whole lot less important when there was a brand new kitty friend to play with. Oooh, maybe it had baby kittens for her to snuggle and frolic with! She beamed over her shoulder at the oh not at all a fairy bug that had been trying to wake her up. Pretty lady with cozy snuggly blue that made her smile and think of home, not a bug at all.
Annnd then she bounded after the kitty.
Fortunately for her, about half a step in, her feet managed to get all tangled up and she tumbled to the ground again, landing awkwardly on her side. Right. Bounding was new. Trying to move faster than a walk was new, really. Xero huffed a grumpy little sigh and clambered back to her feet. Againnnn.
