Candle found herself interrupted. She stopped abruptly with a brief, low growl, but she was grateful for Kusuma's intervention. Her ears fell and she whined apologetically for her outburst, creeping closer to nose under the woman's chin if she allowed it.

She tried to convey this now, her tail swinging somewhat hesitantly. She reached out with one paw to tap the rabbit dangling from Kusuma's jaws. It swayed. Candle giggled softly, immediately distracted and thoroughly entertained by the motion of it.
