NOVEL FROG SS-1: Aria’s Observation
The night after my brother's graduation, he brought a kitten back home.
The black and white fur on that small figure is the purrfect definition of cute!
Even though Silvi might get jealous, I really want to pet its white belly and hug it so tight until my heart is satisfied.
But it seemed that Twy didn't want to accept my advances! He only lets me touch him when he gives permission.
I heard from my friend that feline beasts are very prideful and high-maintenance beasts, and I think she's right.
Just a day after he arrived, he had already marked the living room sofa as his territory.
If I did not calm down Silvi by putting her in my room, then there's probably blood all over the place!
That's not all. He doesn't like to eat in his pet bowl; instead, he has to eat together with us, with the same meal at that.
It's cute and adorable, but I always worry that he might eat something bad. That's why I repeatedly check every ingredient on the internet to see if it's bad for a cat before I cook.
On the good side, though, is that he doesn't poo or pee anywhere but our bathroom. Unlike Silvi, who still sometimes does her business in the living room,.
It's just because he's still small that he needs to be carried to the toilet, but he wouldn't do his business if there's someone watching.
I asked my brother why, and he told me that Twy is intelligent and we should treat him like he is human.
I don't think my brother is lying, but as far as I know, only legendary beasts like dragons have that kind of intellect.
Still, there are some beasts that are trained by others to be smart... maybe Twy is like that?
Anyway, since he came to our home, my brother has been looking happy.
He's eating more vegetables, he wakes up much earlier than usual, he trains with Twy at least two times a day, and he even picked up his math workbooks in the corner and started studying them!
With Twy, he's working harder than usual, and I like seeing my brother like that.
Ever since Mama and Papa went missing, he has changed greatly. He became more mature day by day, and he gave up many of his opportunities for me.
I still remembered how he sold off the beast egg left to him by our parents because I was sick.
However, when I asked him why he did that, all he answered was:
“Because it's for you, Aria.”
It's a day that is hard to forget, and I don't want to forget; after all, I still haven't paid him back for his sacrifices.
Though if I tell him that, I'm sure he's going to vehemently refuse it. He's that kind of brother, after all!
I watched as the two came out of the bathroom, fresh and relaxed.
“I baked some cookies; do you guys want some?”
Twy's ears perked up from my voice before he rushed towards me. I smiled, looking at that eager figure.
For now, I'll leave the job of making my brother happy to you, Twy, but someday I'll take on that role and make him smile like he did when we were kids!
