Riruru flinched at Jenny's words. She didn't fully understand what Jenny meant, but her last words stung a little for some reason.
She hid back inside Skyler's jacket, finding the new place too noisy. She preferred quiet places where she could stay with the warm creature she had been following. But she blinked when she heard Skyler speak.
"Riruru isn't weak. She is already so strong. Who knows, with time, she could very well become the strongest beast in Eldoria?"
Jenny's footsteps halted for a second, a flicker of disbelief crossing her face. Was her brother taking the side of a beast?
But when she looked back at him, she saw only distraction in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings. It was almost as if what he just said was an automatic response, a reflex to defend someone he held dear.
'Did I make a mistake?'
She was confused, but then chuckled.
