She asked, letting a feather lightly brush over Riku's slender little stomach. "And I thought you hadn't even eaten all that much in there."<br/>Rather than waiting for an answer, though, she let her usual teasing little smile drop. "Are you still upset about that dog? Or ..."<br/>She shifted, having had time to reflect on her own behaviour. It wasn't as if she'd let anyone else get their paws on<em>her</em>Riku, of course, but even she had to admit she had started to go a little too far with that display of hers. "Or ... was it ... it me? I didn't mean to get that carried away ..."<br/>Her normal light, playful tone was gone as, for once, she actually sounded honestly subdued and worried, at least for the moment.
