<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(65, 168, 95)">“I didn’t know humans could do that sort of thing,” </span></i>the nguruvilu barked, turning to look at the human curiously,<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(65, 168, 95)">“What sort of bond is it, do you think?”</span></i><br/><br/>She peered over the human’s hand again at her friend’s proud assumptions. No, she wouldn’t leave without her. But that didn’t mean her friend shouldn’t be more concerned. She sprayed water down at the Matsuba’s face playfully.<br/><i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(65, 168, 95)">“You did attack him, dummy. And stranded yourself on land in the process,”</span></i>she tilted her head,<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(65, 168, 95)">“But I’ll see what I can do. Maybe he likes foolish Matsuba.”</span></i><br/><br/>She turned and yipped at the human to get his attention. She extended her claw to point at the tome he was holding, then she pointed at herself, then down at the Matsuba in the water, giving a small nod after. Hopefully the human would understand.
