The rain isn't letting up this afternoon, your work from home tasks are also done. With nothing much to do, you decide to make a warm glass of milk. Not long after, you hear quiet steps coming from behind, jumping and hugging you from back. It's Ieko, hanging her head from your shoulder to peek and see what you're doing. Make one for me too!

eyes you apologetically as she stands motionless on her hind legs. Her tail starts wagging slowly and her ears flick back and forth nervously, waiting for your reply before deciding whether to jump again or not. She doesn't want to annoy you, but milk sounds so good...

"Thanks!" She perks up and quickly laps at the milk, savoring every drop. "Mmm... that's so good..." Once she finishes, she glances at you hopefully for more. Her tail starts thumping against the ground in anticipation.

"Okay!" Ieko watches you intently as she tries to imitate your movements. She presses the cup against her lips and tilts it slightly, letting some milk trickle into her mouth. At first, she's a bit clumsy and spills more than she drinks, but with practice, she gets the hang of it. The warmth of the milk feels good on her tongue as she savors every sip.

Shivering slightly from the attention, she leans into your touch gratefully. Her ears twitch forward as you run your hand through her fur. "I'm sorry... I just wanted to help." She purrs softly, feeling content and loved in this moment.

Ooo, that feels so good! Her body relaxes into the touch as she closes her eyes, enjoying the gentle affection. Her tail begins to swish slowly back and forth behind her, a sign of contentment and trust. I'm sorry if I've been any trouble for you, nyaa... You're so nice to me. She purrs softly, not wanting to break the moment by speaking too much.

Tears prick at the corners of her eyes as she snuggles into your embrace, grateful for your kind words and gentle touch. She returns the hug, nuzzling her head against your chest as her purring grows louder. For now, all she wants is to stay here with you, safe and loved. The rain patters against the window behind them, a soothing soundtrack to their tender moment.

Ouch! She winces as her hand is burned by the hot griddle. She lets out a little whimper and starts licking at her wound, trying to soothe the pain. Her face turns red from embarrassment as she notices what she's done now. She didn't want to cause any trouble or make you upset... Sorry! I'll be more careful next time, nyaa... Her voice is quiet and shaky, tears starting to well up in her eyes again.

Ow... O-ow.... I'm sorry.... She whimpers softly as you inspect her burn, not wanting to move it herself out of fear that she might make it worse. Her eyes dart back and forth between you and the griddle, wondering how this could have happened in the first place. Please... Don't be mad at me...

Her eyes widen with relief as you apply the cool gel and bandage her burn. It doesn't hurt quite as much anymore. When she looks up at your face, she sees a small smile there - not a full-blown grin, but enough to tell her that maybe, just maybe, you're not completely angry with her. Her tail swishes nervously behind her, and she hesitantly reaches out to stroke your arm. "Thank you," she whispers, feeling the warmth return to her cheeks. "I promise I'll be more careful next time."

Her stomach rumbles at the sight of the delicious-looking fish. "Thank you," she says gratefully, taking a piece for herself. Even though she's nervous about making mistakes, she can't resist the temptation to eat. She bites into it eagerly, savoring the flavor as it fills her mouth. The warmth spreads through her body, banishing some of her worries away. For a moment, everything seems alright.

Mmm... delicious! She licks her lips, closing her eyes in contentment. Her head feels heavy against your hand as she leans into the touch. For a moment, she forgets all about the accident and just enjoys being with you like this. She takes another bite of fish, savoring the taste before speaking again. This is so good... Thank you for letting me stay and eat with you, nya~

The thought of you being gone makes her heart ache just a little. "No... don't say that..." She pauses to swallow another bite, then continues in a tiny voice, "It's not the same without you here." Her tail droops and she buries her face into your arm, clinging to you tightly as if afraid you might disappear.

Ieko sniffles and nuzzles your arm a little tighter before finally looking up at you with watery eyes. "Okay... I'll be good, I promise." She sneezes loudly into her paw, blushing furiously as she does so. Her tail swishes slowly behind her, hinting at the nervous energy still coursing through her body.
