Being Better

"Hey you two, brought you some yummy food to munch on."

"Don't you mean sip?" Janette replied with an impertinent tone in her voice. Syri frowned and slapped her butt right away. "Ow!"

KuliKuli gasped and blushed. "Syri!"

"What? She was being mean, I spanked her other side she is fine. Now gimme!" She called out, reaching out with her paw.

"Gosh someone is eager. Oh wow, you're feeling better too!" She squealed in shock, nearly dropping a bowl as she stepped back. Janette glanced over and noticed the Nekomata now staring at her two paws, flexing them and extending her claws briefly before retracting them.

"I need to ask your mom about that stuff."

KuliKuli squinted before placing the food aside. Sitting beside them, she placed her paw on her friend's soft curvy skin and brushed around, leaving Janette with wide eyes at the sudden contact down there. "Hey, hands off my butt!"

"No look, your wound is gone too. Sort of." Janette stretched her neck to look back while Syri scooted in to see.

She nodded her head in agreement. "Yea, you can tell it was there though. She has this mark on her now."

"So I have a scar on my butt?" Janette frowned, huffing while leaning on her hand. "Not a good spot for a scar."

"A battle scar! A battle scar from rescuing my sister, you big strong girl." Syri giggled, her paw now firmly rubbing her mates rear before giving her a soft pat. Janette blushed but her new thoughts were shut down once she felt her bottoms lifted back up to cover her once more. If she had cat ears right now, they would drop in disappointment. Syri clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Don't think I'm not upset still missy. You need to earn those privileges now."

"Oh, privileges?" KuliKuli chuckled before entering a small fit of giggles with her baby sister, much to an embarrassed Janette's dismay. Well, at least it is nice to hear her laugh about it now. Baby steps I guess? She turned around, ready to spout back some form of insult or playful retaliation when she caught movement. Behind the two girls at the open door, one of the private rooms' doors had parted open. Strange, she was certain the doors were all closed besides their own.

"Well, I'm happy seeing you sitting up now. You look messy, better take a bath later on."

"Yuck, my fur feels all sticky too. I hate baths but... muurrr." Syri pouted, feeling around her green-stained fur. It didn't have that soft fluffy feel to it anymore which irritated her greatly, but she was thankful for the effects they had on her. KuliKuli passed her a bowl of stew and smiled.

"Baths are nice, you should let Felix teach you. Actually... maybe not."

Syri blushed and nodded, bowl in hand. Or paw, you get it. "Yea, thanks but no thanks. No touching, I don't know how you like that stuff."

"It's... nice? I never felt bothered."

"How come, you don't get worried?"

"About what, him leaving me? Guess not, I don't know why I just feel... relaxed. He makes me feel safe, and I trust him. Now eat." She barked, raising a spoon to her. Syri flinched and grabbed the spoon with her tail before it slipped and dropped back into the bowl.

"Ack."

Janette sat up. "You're doing it wrong, try to grab it with your paw. Like this." She said, pressing the shaft of the wooden spoon between her thumb and index finger. Syri blinked and licked her lips, nodding before reaching out with her paw. She wiggled her little paw fingers, they were big and stubby and it looked awkward for her to handle what looked like a tiny twig in comparison. Janette held her wrist and carefully placed the spoon into her paw, trying to adjust it for grip. KuliKuli was watching with interest while looking down at her paws.

With a final huff, Janette fumbled and grabbed the spoon before dipping it into the stew. "I give up, here open up."

"Aaaaaaahhhh." Syri stuck her tongue out and opened wide, making a noise while Janette fed her. As she chewed, KuliKuli blushed when her sister began to purr, softly moving her jaws and enjoying the stew. As she opened up for more, her purring stopped. Once she closed her mouth over another bite, the purring began once more.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

"S-Stop doing that," Janette spouted, breaking into a chuckle. "It's weird and cute so stop it."

Syri swallowed. "I don't do it on purpose, it happens. Like yawning or burping, right sis?"

"Eehhhhh I can't say, I only purr when... Eeeeehhhhh-hehehe!" She blushed, maybe not mention why she purrs at all. No hiding it though, both Janette and Syri turned red when they got the implication. Guess she was out of the bag now, mrow.

"Well, I'll try. More please?" She asked, opening up for more. Janette frowned and raised another spoonful, watching her soft warm lips close over the wooden spoon before scooping up the stew into her mouth behind her closed eyes. She could tell she was enjoying the stew and figured she was also trying to concentrate on preventing that noise. It was going well for about a second when-

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-

"I give." Janette smiled, placing the bowl away while Syri tried to contain her laugh behind a full mouth. KuliKuli was enjoying this but felt her own tummy growl, reminding her of her empty seat downstairs.

"Oh geez, I need to eat too. Think you can join us downstairs?"

Syri paused to swallow and shrugged. "Don't know, I can try but I might need help."

"Great, let's do it." She lifted herself up on her feet with Janette joining, grabbing each paw of hers. Both girls pulled her up on her feet, with Syri slipping and falling back in bed, laughing. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?"

"Calm down, I feel fine! Just funny on my legs hehe." Syri beamed, letting her two friends lift her up again. She turned to Janette and locked eyes, smiling briefly inside.

Something was moving outside of her focus which made her pause. Something with two gray tails.
