29 Lilly (1/2)

The little animal woke up with a bandaged head inside a wicker basket, it was still weak and could not move well, a warm hand grabbed her and placed it next to a small bowl full of milk.

”Have you woken up? Here you drink all the milk!”

The pet heard a sweet voice.

After drinking the milk, the forces abandoned her and began to sleep again.

For four days Haru lovingly cared for the little animal that seemed like a cross between a squirrel and a ferret.

The squirrel had a dark brown back like the trunk of the trees, the white belly, and a long, soft tail.

She allowed herself to be gently caressed by Haru without any resistance.

Haru had healed the squirrel and now there was nothing left but to let her go in the forest.

He opened his hands and said.

”You can go away! You are free!”

But she did not want to get away from the affectionate, warm hands, with an incredible speed she came in through the opening of his armor's neck and curled up next to Haru's stomach.

”Do you want to stay? All right! You're a girl, do you like the name, Lilly?”

The squirrel did not answer was still curled up next to the stomach.
