Snippet #1890916

Lavender seemed excited at Selen's appearance, asking why Celeste had her, and about the school's policy on having animals around.

"She's my pet," Celeste answered happily. "And I'm not sure about the legality, but Selen's always hiding in my hair anyways." Then Lavender almost made her bust a gut.

"I command you to rise and leave your owner! Join me, wolf cub, and I shall treat you as my pet forever and ever." The "forever and ever" really added an adorable childish note to the command, and that didn't help any case against Lavender in the slightest. Somehow, energy surrounded Lavender's hands, maybe the display of psychic power Celeste was wanting to see and obviously meant to pull the little wolf away... but to no avail. For some reason, Selen was able to keep herself on her owner's shoulder, mostly unfazed by Lavender's telekinetic abilities. Her ears folded in and she hid back in Celeste's hair, like the energy was irritating her.

Giggling at Lavender, Celeste tried to comfort her for her efforts. "If you wanted to pet her, you could just ask. But trying to get her to leave me for someone else is impossible. Even my parents can't keep her away from me."
