Sarah picked up her head when she felt his rub against her. She smiled a little when he licked her hand, and held in a laugh. She found him strange, but comforting it his own way. He reminded her of a concerned house cat with the way he was acting, and she suddenly found it strange. This guy, who claimed to be the son of a tiger goddess and could probably kill a man with his bare hands, was purring (yes, purring) and trying to make her feel better. She wiped her cheeks, and started to wish he knew what a hug was.<br/><br/>A curious thought stuck her, and she cleared her throat. "Why did you save me?" She paused, trying to put her thoughts together. "I mean, I know you said I'm an 'innocent' human and all, but it seems to me that nothing else in this jungle wants me here. And I'm almost positive that the son of a Tiger Goddess has better things to do than stand guard for some random girl." Her voice trailed off as she finished. "Sorry...I'm just trying to wrap my brain around what exactly is going on."
