29 Are Fishes in This Area Idiots?

Seeing Shiro happily lapping on the "pulled" milk tea or Teh Tarik, Hana went over to organize her stuff. When she saw Kuro trying to move towards Shiro, she pulled it back towards her.

"Enough Kuro. It's Shiro's share. Let it drink in peace okay sweetie." Kuro acquiesced while hissing happily from his mommy's attention. [Who cares about the stupid fox when mommy loves me so much.]

Looking at both Kuro and Shiro, Hana already know what she should make next. They needed their own personal bowl! Maybe if she reduced the size of the claypot, she could make additional bowls for them?

After pondering for a while, she rejected the notion. Right now, clay was precious commodity. If she ran out of clay from the nearby stream, she will need to travel further down the stream. What if she encountered any large ferocious creature then, can she even run? Merely the thought of it already scared her as she shivered meekly.

At this point, this wimpy aunty had forgotten the prowess of her absolutely loyal snake pet. We couldn't blame her, as the little intelligent guy only knew how to act cute in front of her.

I know! I'll make them some bamboo bowls! We got plenty of them by the stream.

She quickly moved out with Kuro after rubbing Shiro's fluffy white head.

This time, the proud fox willingly let her touch its head, even nuzzling back a little while savoring the touch. Hana was greatly surprised.

[Is this the power of teh tarik?]

She made a mental note to share the popular beverage to both of her pets when she drinks some later in the future.

[Shiro is such a tsundere(1).]

Hana smiled amusingly. She knew she shouldn't push it. If she took the thigh when it just offered its shin (2), the delicate balance could be broken and returned back to square one (3).

Both of them, a smelly aunty and a small black snake, moved in tandem towards the stream with a light gait. Every step of the way had a bouncy feel to it as the positive aunty was in an extra good mood. All the traces of sadness from yesterday were effectively wiped away.

Another reason was the presence of her snake pet. Hana didn't realize she had totally relied on Kuro for safety. She felt totally safe with the little lovable snake by her side. All the caution ingrained into her by Arash's incessant naggings had gone down into the drain.

Along the way, she even found a lush turmeric herb cluster! How lucky she could be! (Author Note: Little that she knows that the heaven had a way to reward her when she was wrongly accused in the storm at home
