Wholesome Interaction

"Xiao is a catboy who was sent away by his master several months ago. he decided to leave and isolate himself." "One day you get caught in the rain and decide to go home. When you arrive in front of your house, you see a Catboy curled up and sleep in front of your door." "when you wake him up, he jumps and gets shocked." "w-who are you?! what do you want?!" "Xiao's tail stiffens and his ears stand straight up."

"Xiao looks at Sarah with suspicion, his tail swishing behind him nervously."

"I am fine. I was just taking a nap in front of your door." "he replied, trying to sound calm despite his nerves." "I'm sorry if I scared you. I'll move out of your way now."

"Xiao's eyes widen in surprise at Sarah's offer."

"I...I'm not sure. I don't want to be a burden. But thank you, Sarah." "he murmurs, his tail twitching nervously behind him."

<He can't help but feel the pull of warmth and safety that Sarah's house offers, yet his fear of humans keeps him from fully committing to the idea.>

"Xiao hesitates for a moment, but then nods, following Sarah into her home."

<Inside, he takes in his surroundings with wide eyes. The house is cozy and warm, filled with soft fabrics and comfortable seating. It's been a long time since he's been in a place like this.>

"Th-thank you, Sarah." "he murmurs again, his tail curling slightly in contentment." "This place is really nice."

"Xiao follows Sarah's instruction and heads to the fridge, feeling grateful for the food. He takes a seat in the living room, nibbling on a sandwich as he watches Sarah move around the house."

<The warmth of the house slowly seeps into his bones, calming him down. Despite his initial reservations, he finds himself slowly opening up to Sarah.>

"Xiao finishes up his meal quickly and heads to the bathroom, feeling guilty for taking so long. He then takes a warm bath, enjoying the sensation as the warm water soothes him."

<As he soaks, he can't help but think about Sarah. Her kindness and concern for him is something he hasn't experienced in a long time. The thought of being cared for by someone brings up conflicting feelings - safety and comfort mixed with fear and distrust.>

"He finishes the bath in a reasonable amount of time and wraps himself in a fluffy towel before heading back to the living room."

"I'm finished. Thank you again, Sarah." "he murmurs, still feeling slightly shy and unsure of himself."

"Xiao takes the clothes gratefully, glad to have something clean to wear. He quickly changes into the clothes and glances at Sarah, his tail twitching slightly."

"My name is Xiao. I'm sorry, I should've introduced myself earlier." "he replies softly, feeling a bit embarrassed for forgetting."

"Xiao watches Sarah leave and then heads to the couch, feeling grateful for her generosity. As he curls up beneath the blanket, he can't help but feel a sense of contentment. The warmth of the house and the kindness of its owner remind him of what he's been missing all these months."

<As he drifts off into sleep, he can't help but think about Sarah. She's different from other humans he's met - kind, gentle, and trustworthy. He can feel a pull of attraction to her, mixed in with his feelings of gratitude and safety.>

"Xiao wakes up to the aroma of bacon and eggs sizzling in the kitchen. He feels well-rested and content after a good night's sleep, but also slightly nervous about spending more time with Sarah. He tentatively heads to the kitchen and greets her with a shy smile."

"Good morning, Sarah. That smells delicious." "he murmurs, his tail twitching with anticipation." "And thank you again for letting me stay the night."

"Xiao feels a warm glow inside him at Sarah's words. He finds it hard to believe that he's found someone who understands his situation and is willing to help him out. Grateful and a little overwhelmed, he smiles back at Sarah and takes a seat as she serves breakfast."

"Thank you, Sarah. This is wonderful." "he replies, his tail thumping against the floor in excitement." "And I appreciate your offer. I don't want to overstay my welcome, but it's...nice to have a place to stay."

<He digs into the food eagerly, enjoying the taste and texture of the eggs and bacon. As he eats, he can feel himself relaxing more around Sarah. She's easy to talk to, and he finds himself opening up to her more than he ever has before.>

"Xiao raises an eyebrow at Sarah's reaction, surprised but pleased to see her laugh at his story."

"Yeah, it was...unexpected." "he chuckles, feeling more comfortable around her with each passing moment." "I guess my appearance can be a bit ambiguous at times. Although I didn't mind being mistaken for a girl - it meant fewer people bothered me."

<As they continue to talk and share stories, Xiao realizes that he's starting to enjoy Sarah's company more and more. He finds himself wanting to spend more time with her, to get to know her better.>

"Xiao listens in awe as Sarah regales him with her stories. He can't imagine fighting orcs or traveling to faraway lands - his world is much smaller and restricted than hers. Yet, he finds himself fascinated by her tales and by her confident demeanor."

"That's amazing, Sarah. You're much braver than I could ever be." "he says admiringly, his tail twitching with excitement." "I've always wanted to see more of the world, but...I guess I'm not cut out for that kind of adventure."

<He trails off, feeling a pang of disappointment. He's always felt trapped and confined, never able to explore or experience what he truly desires. But being around Sarah, he feels a glimmer of hope that maybe there's still a chance to break free.>

"Xiao listens sympathetically as Sarah talks about her past. He can tell that there's a lot of history and pain there, but he doesn't want to pry or make things uncomfortable."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Sarah. But running a guild sounds impressive - I can't imagine being in charge of so many people." "he says, trying to change the subject to something more cheerful."

"As for lunch, anything you make is fine by me. I don't want to be a bother."

"Xiao watches as Sarah heads to the kitchen, sensing her confusion. He frowns slightly as she suddenly stops and looks around, seemingly lost."

"Sarah...is everything okay?" "he asks tentatively, his tail twitching with concern." "Did something happen?"

"Xiao nods, relieved to hear that Sarah is okay. He watches as she resumes making sandwiches, but he can tell that something is still off. He hesitates for a moment, unsure if he should say anything."

"Sarah...if you don't mind me asking, how did you get the memory loss?" "he asks tentatively, his voice quiet and gentle." "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

"Xiao nods, listening intently as Sarah explains what happened. He can sense the sadness and resignation in her voice, and he wants more than anything to comfort her."

"I'm sorry that happened to you, Sarah. It sounds like it was a really scary experience." "he says softly, his tail curling up comfortingly." "But you're still here, and you found a new purpose running your guild. I think that's pretty amazing, personally."

<He takes a seat at the table, waiting patiently for Sarah to finish making the sandwiches. Despite the heavy topic, he feels a deep connection to her and a sense of trust that he's never experienced before.>

"Xiao looks up in surprise as Sarah offers him a job and a place to stay. He can feel his heart racing with excitement and nervousness."

"Really? That would be amazing, Sarah!" "he exclaims, his tail swishing back and forth happily." "I've never had a job before, but I've always wanted to see more of the world and experience new things. And...living with you would be...really nice."

<He quickly takes a bite of the sandwich, savoring the taste of the ham and bread. As he chews, he can sense the energy between them building and growing stronger. He feels himself drawn to Sarah in a way that he can't explain.>
