DWC May 2023 - Day 3 - Blind
“How did I miss this?”
He didn’t know whether to be amused or annoyed at the scene playing out in the kitchen, and then he felt Nyllae’s hand against his back and heard her scoff.
“Honestly, I don’t know - and you should be a little ashamed. He’s not a small animal. You’d almost have to blind to miss him, especially with Razilee balancing on top of him like that.”
He should have stopped it, what was happening in the kitchen - he should have moved from his bedroom to scold both Cibor (for playing the part of the rather large step-stool) and Razilee (for using the younger tiger as the step-stool) who was busy reaching for whatever she could grab off of the top shelves but he was too impressed at the balance and the fact that the act looked…practiced.
“How often do they do this?”
“At least a couple of times a week I’ll see her do this with him, sometimes with Savage.” Nyllae paused, glancing up at her husband with a quirked eyebrow. “Are you honestly telling me that you’ve never seen her do this?”
“No - never. You think I would’ve let this keep happening?”
He was then met with a pointed look. “...Okay so I might’ve let it keep happening, but no, I’ve never seen this…or I might’ve purposely overlooked it…alright, that’s enough.”
In his defense…it was very different to see something practiced outside versus in their kitchen.
Not that he was about to argue the difference.
