This human was far more stubborn than he had hoped, though at least she seemed to be kinder than his other owners. "I do not intend to sleep in here for much longer anyway. I rarely sleep and the couch is much more comfortable to me than my...cushion, as you call it," Paislee explained. Before Orca could say anything else, Paislee began speaking again, "Perhaps we can revisit this topic later, but I am far too tired to go in circles about it. You're sleeping in here as the couch is too small for you and I won't allow you sleep on the floor. I don't care if it is an improvement, it simply isn't right and I would not feel good about it. Look at it as me being selfish if you wish--I do not desire to feel guilty because you are on the floor." Her words stuck with the creature, though he wasn't exactly pleased with them. "This one has to agree it seems, you've left him with no choice after all." Orca stated with a little bite to his words. A slender arm came up and gently Paislee rested a hand on a hesitant Orca's cheek, "You are not an animal, Orca. You deserve to sleep in a bed just as much as anyone else." The hand lingered, her thumb gently stroking Orca's cheek for a moment before it finally fell away. The contact seemed to calm him, a deep hum emanating from his throat like a lion purring.<br/><br/>"Is there anything else you would like before you retire for the night?" Paislee asked the young creature, who simply shrugged. "This one doesn't know what he would ask for. This one hasn't ever been asked that before... So, no?" Orca stated, taking a seat on the bed while keeping his gaze locked onto the woman. "This one is curious, what is the human going to go and do if she doesn't plan on resting?" It was a logical question and one that Orca hopped she would answer.
