A look of contentment softened his features, and his tail wagged lightly between his haunches. I’m rather glad I found them, Machi remarked, his tone brightening. They help keep the buzzing away fantastically, he added, tapping a nail lightly against his temple, a knowing smile playing on his lips as if he was letting Legend in on a well-kept secret. And they do wonders for your mood, he continued, I feel quite a bit better, actually.
