I arrived home in the wee hours of the morning, yawning drowsiness to myself as I couldn't help but feel a little worried and a little irresponsible to leave Clarrise on her lonesome so often these days. I dropped my keys in the bowl by the counter as usual, heading into the living room as I fell onto the couch— too drowsy to move for the moment.
While it was a treat to stay over at Len's, I took the liberty to return on my own free will so I can't complain. My eyelids were heavy with sleep and I just couldn't find it to walk another step to the bedroom.
"Haa... Clarisse... Come... Sleep with me..." I mumbled— my sleep induced rambling growing more incoherently as I felt her fine and soft fur against my fingertips.
Darkness consumed me as I stroked her body, a calming sensation gently taking over as my body relaxes and I gradually drift off to sleep. That very night, I had a rather strange dream where Clarisse grew arms and legs and grew to the height of a grown adult.
