Chapter 505: Cat catches up (2)

Vitaliara, now fully perched on Lucavion's head, let out a small [Hmph.] before placing her soft paws against his forehead.

Tap.

Lucavion stayed still, allowing the light, rhythmic taps without complaint. If this was what she needed to settle her frustration, he wouldn't get in her way.

Her warmth was familiar, grounding, a presence that had been missing for too long.

After a moment, he spoke, his voice casual.

'Then… what were you up to recently?'

THWACK!

Lucavion's head jerked slightly as Vitaliara smacked his forehead—not with her usual gentle taps, but with a solid, paw-delivered strike.

[I should be the one asking you that!] she shouted through their bond, her tail flicking wildly.

Lucavion winced slightly, rubbing his forehead. 'Alright, alright, fair,' he admitted, though the grin tugging at his lips didn't fade.

But Vitaliara wasn't done.

[You suddenly pushed yourself forward into that vortex—what were you thinking?!]

Her voice was sharp, laced with the emotions she had bottled up.

Lucavion's smirk dimmed, his gaze lowering slightly.

Ah.

That.

That was the last thing she had seen—the exact moment he had shoved Elara back, taking her place just as the vortex swallowed him whole.

Vitaliara huffed, her tail swishing aggressively as she stomped—well, as much as a tiny feline-like creature could—on top of Lucavion's head.
