Into The Soul! (4)

"Urgh..." 

The almond-coloured hands reached for the tag that had the name, stroking it gently.

"She had one thing to do. It's supposed to be Ferox, which means fierce. Now it's just a random name that doesn't give you credit for the one thing you've got going for you."

The small thing on the man barked, maintaining its enthusiasm.

"You still like this the name Ferex instead?"

The adorable thing leapt up and down and barked cutely.

"Well aren't you a literal son of bitch. I took the liberty of letting law drive me into picking out a cool Latin name and you backstab me like this, huh?"

The little creature nudged the man's hands as it licked them as if trying to quell its master's sparkly wrath with the charm of cute.

Surprisingly however, it worked.

A feeling of joy overcame the irritation, as the Hound felt and focused on this interaction with rapt attention.

His master really seemed to love this little creature.
