"Maybe if someone else takes care of him, he'll eventually give up and get used to it?"
"I don't know. If we're unlucky, he might just run away and come straight back."
Qiong Xing suggested that perhaps separating them would help the kitten move on, but Elias didn't sound convinced.
Joa nodded in agreement.
Still, they couldn't simply abandon the kitten either.
"For the children's sake, maybe it really would be better to find him another home..."
"Grrr!"
"Wah!? Fenrir? What's wro... Ah."
Fenrisulfr trotted over and barked loudly.
It was the first time he had barked at all since those early days after they first met, so Qiong Xing was startled.
However, when he followed Fenrisulfr's gaze, he realized the wolf wasn't looking at him.
He was staring at the kitten resting on Qiong Xing's lap.
The kitten had completely passed out.
Even adults found Fenrisulfr's bark startling, so it was no surprise a tiny kitten had fainted from fright.
