"Oh... is dinner ready yet?" Xueyao's cheerful voice rang through the kitchen as she stepped inside, her snow-white, fluffy tail wagging behind her.
Right behind her, Celestia also walked in. Her beautiful blue eyes immediately found Rou'er across the room.
It didn't take long before the three of them gathered at the counter, heads leaning close as they gossiped about the world outside... and, more importantly, about that new sister Qingyi had his eye on.
The gossip circle grew bigger the moment Linyue padded in, her orange tail wagging happily as she heard everything.
Without hesitation, the cat-girl pressed herself against Qingyi's side, the soft, plush warmth of her body molding to his arm as she rubbed her cheek along his shoulder like a needy kitten.
Qingyi chuckled and ran his fingers through her orange hair, weaving slowly through the silken strands.
She melted at his touch, a low, contented purr rumbling from her throat.
