“He’smagnificent,” Dimitribreathed.
He just wants to feel your fur. Maybe it’ll give him goodluck.
If a tiger could sigh, Sindari did.Very well. I shall permitit.
“Go ahead,” Isaid.
Dimitri slid his hand down Sindari’s back several times with appreciative enthusiasm. “He’s sosoft.”
“But regal, don’t forget.” I checked on the vampire. My senses told me he hadn’tmoved.
“Regal and soft and magnificent.” There was no sarcasm in Dimitri’s voice. Sindari had a newadmirer.
His tail swished, and he let out a fewchuffs.
“What does that noise mean?” Dimitriasked.
“Tigers can’t purr, but it means he’spleased.”
This man has goodhands.
Of course. He makes that yardart.
You should claim him for amate.
He’s a little young for me. Maybe I’ll try to set him up withNin.
Sindari crouched and faced the playhouse.I should go before the security officer stumbles across them and gets himselfkilled.
Goodidea.
Sindari sprang over the fence and roared. He sailed around the back yard, running right past the playhouse. Unfortunately, my nose wasn’t as good as his, so I couldn’t tell if the stealthed group moved. The security guard issued a high-pitched shriek and ran back toward the front of thehouse.
As Sindari raced around the big yard again, automatic sprinkler heads poppedup.
“Uh oh,” Imuttered.
They came on with a hiss and water sprayed everywhere, including at Sindari. His roar turned into the tiger equivalent of a curse, and he sprang over the far fence and into the next yard toescape.
The stealthed strangers are chasing me,Sindari informed me.And I shall ruthlessly chew off your arm later for thattrick.
I didn’t know about thesprinklers.
Lies.
I promise. Thank you for leading them away. Keep them busy for twenty minutes if you can, and then come by to see if I need to be rescued from thevampire.
May I slay them if they pester meovermuch?
Not unless they’ve slain innocent humans and are on one of the lists that came out of Willard’soffice.
I’m chewingsomeone’sarm off tonight. I’msoaked.
How is this different from when you jumped in the river to bathe?I jogged to the wooden rail fence, hopped over, and ran to the carriagehouse.
It’s extremely different. The sun was out then, and I jumped in by choice. I wasn’t attacked by spring-loadedwaterspouts.
Waterspouts? Really, Sindari. I had no idea you were somelodramatic.
