It threw off the body hanging atop its shoulder and ran towards the centre.
“Master! Master! Did you miss me?” Shyreiana hugged the grotesque mass of flesh.
Multiple azure eyes opened along its malignant surface, for it gazed at her with narrowed eyes and went back to sleep.
“Master! You are still so rude! Humph!” she leaned close and rubbed her cheeks on its skin.
The body of flesh rippled, and the eyes opened once more; a small tentacle reached out towards her face.

“Hehe,” she giggled.
It reached her forehead.

Shyreiana puffed up her cheeks and touched her head, “Master! You are still teasing me!”
