I woke up feeling very comfortable and warm, still half hugging Leonel. I would never admit out loud but, since I was born, I got too used to sleeping with my brother, and usually had insomnia if I did not had someone to hug to sleep.

Yeah, yeah, I'm such a softy inside.

Without opening my eyes, however, I can feel some movement around. Slowly clearing up my mind from the sleepiness I finally can discern what it is.

It is Leonel and he, and he is ... touching my paw? I had covered his body with it, so it was right in front of him.

One of his hands felt my paw up, massaging my black pads, passing from the big U curved one to the small ones on my fingers, tracing the ledge of my talons and tickling the fur around it, carefully drawing its shape back and forth, as if trying to fix the form of my paw in his mind using his hands to see.

I let it be, for a while, but once I pretend to awake he stops his movements and goes out of my grasp. With still watery eyes, I yawn a full fangs wide open mouth yawn, stretching my body, scratching behind my ears with my hind legs, as Leonel watched me all the time.

"Morning" I muster out of my mouth.

"Uhm."

Not very talkative hum? I lay down again, and if I had a tail it would be flickering back and forth as I thought a way to break that mask of his.

Just to start the day, of course.

Nothing like a good tease for breakfast am I right?

"You should take a bath."

He stops moving at that, as if frozen in place.

"Even I smell better than you." Though I did take a bath before coming in here; but that's not the point.

He looks at his own clothes, full of holes and dirt, then up at me. I just smile innocently, feeling my stump tail wiggle.

He starts to mess around the bedroom looking for clothes, and once he finds one he looks back at me, as if trying to figure it out some scamming plans I may have in mind.

I'm innocent I swear!

He goes to the water tank, take a cloth he found on the bathroom, and starts to strip. On that I look away, still hearing him fidget with his clothes until even that sound stopped, his lean body now in full display I assume.

Did I mention he was tall for a kid? Already entering puberty, but still holding onto his baby face. I focus my attention elsewhere, finding the crystal of the cat laying on the table very interesting all of the sudden.

I stand, looking on how small it was, the size of my paws when I was little, probably because of the level right?

But who cares?

Teleportation~~Here I come~~

I put the crystal between my teeth and swallow it hole.

Aaand, level up.

But no teleportation.
