The first slap came as something of a surprise for two reasons. The first of these is the fact that her tails are real and not some sort of clipped on costume. The other reason was how surprisingly nice her fur felt. The second slap surprised him because he was still reeling from the implications of the first one and trying to piece together everything that was happening. The confusion became worse and turned into outright fear when he other tails begin sparking and generating arcs of electricity.<br/><br/>Peter's hands went out in front of him in surrender, but also preparation to defend himself in the case that she would attack with something more lethal than a fluffy tail. And then, out of nowhere, something clicked. Her nonsense became words. Words he could try desperately to defend himself again.<strong>"I'm sorry! I'm really, terribly sorry! Is there any way I could help or earn your forgiveness?"</strong>It was shameless and deceptive, but it was all he could think of to defuse the situation.
