The girl paled and her partner stepped forward offering a soft smile . "She looks so well cared for that it didn't seem necessary to use a wide tooth comb . " She tried to explain and Kyera just stared at her, tail flicking back and forth in annoyance . Her lies were so easily seen that she couldn't help but wonder who wanted to annoy her .
'What was there to gain if my skin was tender and raw? How would there be any use to that?' Kyera wondered, her senses ruling out accidental . Clovis seemed uncertain about the response as well . He raised his eyes to her in the tree .
Advertisement"Come on down, Moon . I won't let them groom you . " He replied waving her down . Kyera took a deep breath considering her options . Honestly, obedience was the last thing she considered but it seemed the best option . She raised to her feet and poured herself out of tree, landing gracefully on all fours . She could have climbed down, it wouldn't have been as dramatic though .
"My lord, should we send for our teacher? He is much better at grooming tigers than we are . " The girl offered and Clovis sighed .
"No, I think it's best I do it myself . " he replied taking the larger bristle comb from the roll . The girls watched in shock as he approached her . Kyera stared at him, blinking blankly as she tried to decide what to do . For a moment she glanced back up at the tree . She sighed deeply as he met her eyes . "Please, Moon?" He whispered speaking to her directly .
After several moments, she tilted her head to the side so he could easily reach her shoulder . The comb glided through her hair, from shoulder down to elbow . It felt good, his pressure was a bit heavy and in all honesty his tendency to ignore the grain of her fur was annoying . There was a certain discomfort to it . As he passed from her shoulder to her haunches pain caused her to nip at him in response . The comb had bit into her hip, where the soft skin connected her waist to her haunches . He pulled back instantly kinda surprised by the feel of her teeth nipping at him .
"Ouch, crap what did I do?" He asked seeming fairly confused by her response .
"Daddy, you hurt her . " A familiar little voice accused him indignantly . Kyera looked up and couldn't help but feel her heart leap for joy . She was saved by her favorite little princess . She stood and ran over bumping her great furry head into the Princess' chest . Raina laughed merrily, petting Kyera's head .
"Oh Moon… I missed you . " She greeted kissing the tiger's furry forehead . Kyera smiled chuffing back warmly, trying to say the same . Clovis watched the pair and smiled, shaking his head as he settled back, sitting on the ground where she had been .
"If you know so much darling, Why don't you brush her?" Clovis offered holding out the comb . Raina grinned happily taking the comb from him . She turned to Kyera whose heart sunk . As much as she loved this little girl, it didn't bode well .
"Lets see if I can brush you out, Moon . " She spoke softly, but it wasn't in the baby tone that the groomer girl had used . Kyera waited for the pain, but was pleasantly surprised . Raina didn't sit down, she used the brush to follow Kyera's fur . With the flow of it, careful not to pull in the wrong direction . Her tiny hand followed behind each stroke as if soothing the hair behind it . It felt surprisingly amazing . A soft rumbling sound started to fill the air, it took Kyera several moments to realize the noise was her .
"She's Purring . " Clovis pointed out with a chuckle . Kyera looked at him with heavy lidded eyes that seemed to stare daggers at him . However, it was hard to take the look seriously as she purred like a giant house cat . For a moment the Tigress loathed herself, but then decided she deserved the pampering after everything she had done in the last two days . She laid back and let the Princess continue .
