Trat purred to the little one. So what if she looked like a little harbinger of death, she was still cute. "Tell me Sekula, do you like Scraplet grubs? and cyber berries?"
Her eyes go positively saucer like and she licks her lips, clapping her little hands together."Yes I do yes I do!"Feel that?That little tickle in your mind that makes you want to give her exactly what she wants?Yep that’s intentional.
Trat grinned and opened his subspace, pulling out a good sized grub and a small jar of his last stash of the sweet crystalline berries. Before he gave them to her though, he held out a claw.
"and what do we say?" he drawled playfully, booping her nose.
She just bats her eyelids at him and looks as cute as possible. Totally turning up the juice, and holding her hand out. You’re /will/ give it to her. Because she wants you to.~
he could feel his mental barriers breaking down. damn this kid was good! Finally he caved, handing over the treats.
"Oh all right, here you go. but for future reference, the word I was looking for was please." he chuckled, petting her head.
She giggles and noms the treats, grinning at him like a cheshire cat. "Good boy.~" Yes she just said that.
Trat felt his mandibles twitch in a mixture of amusement and very minor annoyance. So the little shrimp thought she was the boss huh? Well, he'd show her. He'd build his barriers and become impervious to cute!
But that could wait. For now he was content to lay on his side like an old hound in front of the fire and watch her enjoy herself.
