Oooh this is cracking me up

Laika watched him carefully as he stepped closer. She lifted her head off his shoulders to peer at his peculiar behavior. Truth be told, she had never been in this situation before, but despite her inner voice that was practically screaming logic at her, something drove her forward. She just stood there as he preened her withers, twisting her neck to do the same to him.

She was enjoying the moment until he moved away to nudge at her hip, asking her what was going on. He seemed impatient this time, and Laika just grew even more irritated. "Nothing." She repeated, her voice edgy. He was definitely pushing her buttons.

On a regular day, Laika would have laughed, but today, for some reason, every little thing was setting her off. She was so filled with different emotions right now she felt like she just might explode.
