Pathetically

“ Huh…? ” Wow. What a charismatic and enlightening response. You show them, Charlotte! She immediately feels the red on the cheeks flush her face as she’s about to blurt another fantastic piece of rhetoric. “ Whu.. who..? What? What the hell?

— What’s yourrr name, sssweetie? ♥ ” Her voice slithers, slowly ramping up until the release of her facial expressions in a confident and boastful smile. Lynnis, huh. She’s quite the dazzling character, to be fair. Maybe the quiver in her composure is less due to the surprise of the sudden encounter than of the cat girl herself. Her attire. Her manners. The way she non-stop moves, undulating like a snake… Maybe more like a predator? She’s the fire itself… And Charlotte oh so fears the burn marks. She takes a step back. Lynnis takes a step forward, playing a strange game of cat and mouse. And she feels trapped, like small mice under the terrifying gaze of the house cat, slowly toying with their prey between their claws. Lynnis cocks her head to the left and shoots an interrogating gaze at Charlotte. “ Sweetie? Cat got your tongue?

Yeah. I’m new here.. Are you all.. uh.. this direct here?

— Nuh-uh. Just me. ♥ ” She taps on her chest cheerily, once again inviting Charlotte’s gaze upon her youthful bosom. “ So… Wanna come inside? ♥ ” Inside where?? Her home right?? Right?? Charlotte can feel her face melting like magma, burning rocks turning into sludge, slowly seeping into the earth, eroding her resolve. Her knees are about to give when she jolts aware of her light touch, slightly more than a whisper on the soft part of her arm. Lynnis is closer than ever, and she has zero — absolutely none, fuck all — respect for her personal space. Well..
