Her ears flicked as she sat at his feet, her tail still thumping, though a little faster now. A low growl gargled in her throat as he gently handled her wounded body, but she didn’t show her teeth. It wasn’t that the salve hurt, per se, but it definitely didn’t feel nice to be handled right now. She wasn’t used to human hands anyway, so being enveloped so completely was an unfamiliar experience. Her hair stood on end.<br/><br/>She sniffed at her bandages curiously, suspiciously and looked up at him with the same vaguely confused, defensive look. When he mentioned she shouldn’t go back into the water, she looked back at the village.<i>If I stay on land, I’ll be dead in those two hours. </i><br/><br/>She held her head down submissively, her ears turned downward beside her head as she approached his right leg. This would be a terrible time to be mistaken as hostile. She put a claw out carefully and scratched gently at his pant leg. She wanted to look him in the face and that would require being picked up.<br/><br/>She didn’t know much about Lilim contracts, only that humans ate some creatures and kept others. She would have to fight alongside him? Be his companion? It did sound like he wanted a pet. This affronted her pride a little. She wasn’t sure she was pet material.
