Barrett Poer de Aika XIII
She whirled quickly and snarled. The adolescent's ears tipped back apologetically and he retreated one step behind the dirty glass, lamenting how the thin layer of soot made everything appear lacklustre and dull. Distance exacerbated the effect as the light scattered ineffectively—now she was just a shadow in the window. He didn't doubt it would be easier for her to see him, however, bathed in the light of day. He wavered uncertainly for a brief moment, but then she gave him the go-ahead to come inside. He had simply caught her off guard.
Well, good. He nodded with another bright smile and strolled over to the entryway. Once inside, he easily followed her distinct trail into an adjacent area. Here the pheromones were so thick he could swear he saw them wafting about on tiny air currents around the room—or maybe it was just dust stirred up by their footsteps. His tongue darted out across his nose to afford him a better taste of her scent and he gave her a quick once over. Her fur's vibrancy was rivalled only by that infernal, vermilion gaze. And despite her small stature and earlier surprise, she exuded an aura of confidence and strength. She was quite the little firecracker.
“Oh yeah? Can't blame her,” he replied as she revealed why she sought the glitzy trinkets. With a bit of subconscious flexing and flourish, the hybrid rose to his tiptoes and gently plucked two of the larger display cases off the shelf so she could inspect their contents. “If she likes anything that shines, she must like you; you light up the whole room, you know.” Her presence was undeniable, and it didn't just have to do with that irresistible scent. “See anything you like?”—a double entendre? always—“or should we keep looking?” He'd look all day.
