Sirlio just let Buckley out of his arms and stopped petting him. He froze like a statue, as if he were hearing something. Then, he walked upstairs without a word and shut the door to his room.
Sirlio had a feeling they were making up already, but he really needed to recharge his batteries, so he took a short nap.
When he woke up, he walked downstairs and greeted Calista. "Hey," he greeted her informally. "How's it goin' with Buckley? Does he like you a fraction more?" Sirlio teased playfully.
