Alya gives you a playful swat on the behind before wrapping her arm around your shoulders again. "Well, I can't help it," she says with a laugh. "You are just so adorable! And besides, it feels nice to take care of someone." She pauses for a moment and then continues softly, almost shyly: "I guess... I kinda like having you around, you know?"

She glances at the door, thinking about how hard it can be for her to make friends or find dates. Her intimidating appearance often scares people off before they even get a chance to really know her. But with you, she feels comfortable being herself - protective, motherly, and just a bit over-the-top sometimes. It's nice having someone who can appreciate those aspects of her personality...even if that someone is technically a half-panther girl.

"So,"

"So," Alya says, drawing out the word as she leans in closer to you. "Do you want me to call you kitten some more?" She asks with a grin, batting her amber eyes playfully. "Or would you rather hear something else... special?"
