His affirmative reply crushed the tiny collie pup's naive hope of ending this painful experience. Her fragile forelimbs were about to give out from the excess weight being pressed down on her back when suddenly she felt him lick her ear before suddenly getting back up. Had she not been so relieved to have her exhausted limbs free from the burden of the elder pup's extra body-weight she would have been absolutely disgusted that the pup had dared to lick her. Such contact was not welcomed by the blind girl, especially as part of a cruel game. However, she was too distracted by the aching, burning sensation in her limbs to be indignant. With her release from her captor's hold on her, the small, blue merle pup sank to the ground in an attempt to rest her delicate legs. Never before had she had to support such a heavy load. In fact, had he not lifted off when he had, Ruri was sure she would have fallen forward, bringing the young male with her. That would have only made him mad and for all she knew he might have bit her or caused her some other form of physical harm. Luckily for her she had escaped with just a touch from his tongue on her half-folded ears.
The mean pup had fallen silent now, Ruri could not longer hear his taunts, nor the sounds of his footsteps, but she could smell that he was still there. She dare not try to escape this nightmare. It was doubtful that her tired limbs would be able to carry her very far, and she didn't even want to think of what would happen when he caught her. No, for now, she would just have to endure, as painful and upsetting as that conclusion was. Eventually, he would get bored with trying to bother her. After all, she was tired and her lack of energy would mean that she would be unable to cater to his demands. Hopefully then he would get bored and leave.
