Amora stared when the door was opened. She promptly ducked her head, getting up, and began to exit when the sharp tug on the back of her collar kept her in the room. She gasped, hearing Valdemar say, "No need for her to leave, I rather like having pets nearby to calm the nerves." He grinned, and with another quick jerk, made Amora fall back towards the chairs. She kept her head down, but her face grew dark at the prospect of being compared to a dog or cat.
