Aconite lets out a whining noise, the spines on her back raising up. No, the table is not where she wanted to be!! She could get up on the table on her own, thanks! She moves to the edge of the table to hop back on Daud's lap, but Shura catches her, holding her back until she stops wriggling.

"She doesn't get to meet too many strangers, you know." Great backseat parenting, Daud!
