Chapter 22 The advantages of being friends with a panther 6 (1/2)
Mars walked up to the entrance to the cave and found the entrance blocked by a solid shadow that stretched like rubber when he poked it, preventing him from entering the cave while Mars would be able to tear this feeble shadow barrier down with a few slashes of his bone sword he decided against it and called out to Victoria that had barricaded herself in the cave
”...Victoria can you hear me?”
receiving only silence as his answer Mars still assumed she could hear him and sat down in front of the barrier and waited a bit before speaking in the most gentle tone he could
”...are you still angry?”
in response to his question the shadow forming the barrier trembled slightly taking this as confirmation that she could hear him Mars asked another question
”did i do something wrong?”
again the shadow trembled a little more than last time before it stopped and the shadow making up the barrier seemed to pull itself together before it disappeared and Mars could see Victoria lying on the side with her back to him a little into the cave with her ears flopped over on her head, seeing Victoria looking sad Mars asked her
”what's wrong?”
”Mars... not mad?”
hearing Victoria's voice in his head Mars was a little confused before he remembered that she whacked him in the face
”no i am not mad”
”really?”
as Mars said he wasn't mad Victoria peeked up and turned her head to look at him with sparkling eyes as her ears raised and her horns flashed
”then... can we... play?”
as Victoria asked she ran over to Mars and stopped right in front of his face with sparkling eyes that only gave Mars one choice
”sure let's play... but first you can help me with testing my new skills”
after petting Victoria on the head they both walked out of the cave into the cleared area
”what was the information on those 2 skill again?”
