The Poison Traps

Snuggling into her arms, the puppy lovingly rubbed it's soft black head under her chin in contentment, immediately grabbing her attention.

"Oh, you!"

Tenderness bloomed in her heart as she held the beast closer to her chest. 

All her earlier hesitations, suspicions, and doubts flew out of her mind. Whether she knew the puppy or not, it no longer mattered. She felt a bond closer and stronger than she ever anticipated with the tiny creature.

Raising it to eye level, Versailles gently rubbed her nose with the creature's tiny black one.

"What's your name? Do you have any?"

She softly asked, looking into its' black gems.

"Yep?"

It dropped its' head to the side, staring innocently at her with its' wide eyes. Whether it was in curiosity or confusion, Versailles could not tell.

"No name?"

It continued staring cutely at her.

"Okay...how about I name you?"
