“Well,” Anita shrugged and adjusted to the hold as well as she could, holding a breath that she wasn’t aware of as it bundled itself under the skin of her shoulders. “I don’t get the opportunity to hold many babies, so your analogy is kinda lost on this one.” She was looking at the beast, frowning at it as much as it was frowning at her, and she swallowed the rising smile that threatened to etch itself across her lips. 

“No.” 

It was the truth. She wasn’t upset, just more- pleasantly surprised, believe it or not. He seemed to always shock her, and if she ever believed that she had figured the elder vampire out he would always turn around and pull out something new from his proverbial sleeve. “Well,” she shrugged again and struggled with the idea of whether or not she should hand it back to him, “Thank you, Axel. I, uh, just wasn’t expecting it, is all.”

“Okay then imagine the kitten is something you sling over your shoulder, instead of a baby.” He suggested as he looked at how awkward she seemed to be with the kitten, it was amusing to the vampire. “I think it likes you some what.” Axel laughed as he smiled at her. 

“Thatst he thing with gifts you dont expect them, they are nice surprises most of the time…” He said trailing off as his mind went else where for a second before he smiled at her once more and gave the kitten a scratch behind her ear.Â
