208 Feeling like Im back (1/2)

A large shadow loomed over me and Helen. Helen tried to step in front of me, but I stopped her with my hand.

The shadow approaches me, licks my face, and rubs its head against my face.

”Krull-ruh-ruh.

”I'm home, Krull.

”Krull.

The shadow was Krull. The shadow was Krull. I hadn't tied him anywhere, so he must have sensed my return by smell or something, and came to pick me up.

While I was stroking her neck, Krull was sniffing Helen's scent.

He's going to be a part of our family from today, don't worry.

When I called out to Krull, he also licked Helen's face.

”What?

Helen lets out a small scream, probably from tickling.

She says, ”Welcome.

Is that so?

I'm not sure I understand her words, but I'm sure she didn't like it.

Stroke it.

”Oh, yeah. ......

Helen reaches out her hand with trepidation. When Krull lowered his head to make it easier to stroke, Helen gently touched it and stroked it.

”Krull-rule.

Krull seemed to be in a good mood, but Helen stopped stroking with a jolt.

”Is this okay?

”Yeah, he's in a good mood, so he's fine.

A cat's ”rumbling” can also scare people when they hear it for the first time.

Even if you know that there is such a thing, it is hard to realize which one it is unless you know it concretely.

In this case, I don't know what Helen's perception was, since it was a creature she rarely saw.

”This is Krull. This is my dragon. This is Helen.

”Nice to meet you, Krull.

Krull.

Krull rubs his head in Helen's face. That's the end of the greeting.

Me, Helen and Krull head for home - though it's not so far now, and soon we see the house.

Our whole family was out in front of the house. I wondered if Samija or Deanna had noticed.

I waved and said in a loud voice.

”I'm home!

Welcome back!

When they all said welcome home, I realized for the first time that I was home.

”Oh, and by the way. I'm back and I'm going to go to .......

”I know, I know. I see you.

Samija interrupted me when I tried to tell her about Helen. I think I've figured out a lot of things.

I look at the others and they are nodding their heads in agreement.

”So, why is Helen wearing that thing?

Oh, .......
