"The center will probably be closed for tonight, so we'll have to keep it with us." Cornelius knew his father had an area in the backyard, a shed, specifically designated for these cases. All of the control officers were required to. It was as humane as possible, but probably lonely, especially for such a terrified creature.
-
Maiko whimpered, not sure if he should be more afraid of the center or of these people. So far, neither of them had yelled at him, and he hadn't yet any idea of how they'd treat him. If only to test it out, he sat up straight, and looked at the human sitting next to him. He held out his still-cuffed hands, tugging them taught.
-
(Hhmm, that's the wrong taught. It's supposed to be taut. .~.)
-
"I can't take off the handcuffs, sorry." He reached out and stroked the hybrid's tail. "What's your name?"
-
Maiko pursed his lips, dropping his hands back down. But, he was glad enough when the human was gently petting his tail. Rather than speaking, he reached his cuffed hands up to indicate the tag on his black leather collar. The metal tag was store bought, but the scrawling on it was home-made. It was only his name, that his owner had worked to scratch into the weak metal.
-
He reached up with both hands to the hybrid's neck, then gently took the collar off. "Maiko. That's a cute name."
-
Maiko made a sound in his throat, like a cat's purr, but more shrill and only for a moment. It was his own way of saying thank you, even if the human didn't know it. He reached out his hands, pointing his finger at the other to imply he wanted to know his name.
-
"Maiko, can you speak at all?" he asked.
-
Maiko frowned, shaking his head.
-
"But you can understand me." He set down the collar.
-
Maiko nodded again, flattening his ears against his head. He felt guilty about not being able to talk, but he'd never tried, what with his owner around.

(Do you still wanna do this .3.)

(No okay .~.)
