67 Andrias Studies (1/2)

Walking through the busy streets of the city, the setting sun cast a dull glow through the land, allowing Andria and Lexa to bask in its soft warmth for a little longer.

As they got closer to the Golden Cloud Inn to settle for the night, Andria was beginning to let out consecutive yawns and tiredness could be seen in her drooping eyelids. Lexa snuggled into her, trying to pass her some warmth.

”Young Miss, would you like to be carried the rest of the way?” One of the Wilderwolf soldier's offered.

Andria stopped her feet and tilted her head thoughtfully for a moment before humming a nod. She couldn't hold out much longer. Still holding Lexa in her hands, the Wilderwolf soldier gently lifted her up, resting her comfortably in his hands. Her tiredness seemed to take over her quickly, and she nuzzled her head into the man's neck as her eyes closed.

The man carrying her smiled warmly. Their Young Miss was so cute!

The surrounding Wilderwolf soldier's looked at the one carrying their Young Miss with narrowed and jealous eyes. They all wished they could have been the one to offer to carry the Young Miss first!

They could only hold back their jealousy though and begrudgingly follow behind them as they continued on their way to the Golden Cloud Inn. They did not want to wake her up after all.

Lexa rolled her eyes at their antics. Weren't these people battle hardened warriors, shouldn't they be cold and emotionless?

It would seem even soldier's succumb to cuteness.

'Maybe this is a tactic I could use in the future...' Lexa mused in all seriousness.

By the time they returned to the Golden Cloud Inn, Andria was already fully asleep, so the man carrying her simply took her to her room and tucked her into bed. Lexa was locked in her arms the whole time, and gave the man a thankful ”meow~” before he left.

Tucked comfortably in Andria's arms, Lexa found sleep beckoning her quickly as well. It took only a few minutes before she finally fell into a peaceful slumber...

★★★

Morning of the next day, Lexa awoke to the feeling of something pushing into her side and the sound of a mumbled voice which her half-awake state couldn't make out.

”Wake up little fang!” Andria pouted. ”If you don't wake up, Andria will call you little fang forever!”

”Oh, is it morning already?...” Lexa yawned as she shot up instantly. She didn't have the energy to bicker, only following the girl's whims begrudgingly.

Andria was sitting on the edge of the bed and was now stroking her fur. Unable to take it any longer, Lexa complained. ”Will you stop that, go pet a teddy bear to cuddle or something.”

”Your a cat, you're made to be petted!” Andria quickly objected.

”I'm a Magical Beast.”

”A cat Magical Beast is still cat.”

Lexa quickly realized that there was no winning and simply let the girl have her way with her fur. She had to admit it was a little soothing, and her morning grumpiness began to ease.

It was at this moment that the door to the room was opened, drawing the two's attention. Entering the room was Andria's Nanny, Drew. She was noticeably dressed in a conservative dress and was sporting a neat pair of glasses, giving her an overall working middle-aged woman look. In one of her hands was a series of papers and in the other was a brush pen and ink pot. She looked like a strict teacher.

When Andria fist saw Nanny Drew, she immediately shouted out ”Nanny!” with a wide smile, except when her eyes noticed those items held in her hands and her appearance, that wide smile suddenly froze, quickly replaced with one of horror.
