Haru supported Fou's belly with his right hand, his left stroking the creature's smooth white fur, watching Fou's stunned expression with a teasing look on his face.
Fou, whose every move was under Haru's control, had been easily countered during its attempt to capture him.
Honestly, Haru hadn't expected it to be quite so simple. He figured Fou's Primate Murder ability—its privilege against humans—had probably made the creature underestimate him.
"So, what species are you, anyway?" Haru asked, his tone puzzled. "Ears like a rabbit? This white curly fur feels like a dog's, and your body shape is close to a cat or squirrel." With each observation, he gave the corresponding part a gentle squeeze with his left hand.
Fou finally reacted after Haru finished his prodding, its expression one of utter shock. Its fur bristled, and its cat-like face twisted in obvious anger—to think someone other than Altrouge would actually treat it like a pet!
"Awoo!!!" Fou immediately opened its fang-filled mouth wide, biting towards Haru's right arm.
Sensing Fou's movement, Haru gave his arm a light shake, and the small, snow-white beast was immediately tossed high into the air.
Losing its target as it was tossed into the air, Fou's jaws snapped shut hard. The creature shivered instantly, intense pain shooting from its gums straight to its brain as tears welled up in its eyes.
Just then, Haru shot his hand out like lightning, grabbing Fou around the middle, holding it firmly aloft. "Oh my," he said teasingly, "it bites, does it?"
