As everyone else continues to struggle on how exactly to react, you think it’s only appropriate to play along since she’s doing a terrific job! It’s the best way to show your approval!
“Good kitten.” You place the toy to the side, and pet Suan De! She jitters upon touch. The other girls are a mix of mortified and dumbstruck as they watch like you’re a wild animal researcher.
“…” Suan De hesitates between slapping your hand away to maintain her dignity, or continuing her charade and not defying the king so as to not be forced to do this over until you’re satisfied. Her suffering might be swift if she endures it all now, she needs to continue — but hasn’t moved a muscle since you started petting her. This is a make-or-break moment...
“Good, good kitten…” You start scratching Suan De behind the ear. This is becoming very fun for you…
“…” Suan De wants to say something. Wants to move. Wants to play along and be done with this. But it’s far too embarrassing! With the incredulous looks from the other girls, Suan De can’t break the mental barrier and understand nothing is humiliating about playing charades, or playing the role of a good cat girl!
“Meow.” Noticing the woman’s insecurities, Bradford Jr. encourages his friend to embrace her dignified duty as a cat. He’s a cat. There’s nothing to be ashamed of about being a cat. They’re fluffy. They’re adorable. They’re lovable. And she is too!
“<span class="mu-i">M-Meow…</span>” Suan De is as robotic as before, but decides to continue. Bradford Jr.’s words moved her heart.
“Aw, you like it!” You start petting her more enthusiastically with both hands now! Ruby feels compelled to join you, but stops herself. The cat girl is still mortified, but she’s not as rigid as when you started…
“You sure? She ain’t purring, that’s how they show real love.” Crossbill points out that happy kitties turn up their engines when they feel happy.
“<span class="mu-i">P-Prrr…</span>” Suan De tries to purr, it’s… a unique take. As stiff as she is, she’s too dorky not to be loved!
“How about now? Mmm?” You smugly retort.
“Eh, she isn’t going around your legs…” Crossbill is making things difficult for Suan De.
“<span class="mu-i">P-Prr… Prrr...</span>” Suan De gets on all fours and presses her body against your legs…
“Oh my god, she’s the cutest of kitties!” You pet Suan De everywhere you can like she’s an actual pet since she’s moving around. Ruby can’t help herself and pets her too. Bradford Jr. can relate! You have to hunch over to get this done, making Ichie a tiny bit jealous that her pillow spotlight is being taken away for a moment. Maybe you’re getting too excited...
“Here again!” Crossbill hands you the toy you left to the side. “Play!”
“Kitty, kitty, kitty!” You start playing chase with the toy with Suan De, she swats the poor thing a couple of times. She’s more like a tigress than a cat girl…
