Thank goodness it finally left him alone. He didn’t see the bug anymore so he was satisfied.
It was about that time that things finally started to connect about why Patches looked so upset. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you cared about what happened to that moth.” He raised an eyebrow at Patches.
A breath of relief over came him as he realized his moth was safe.. for the moment at least. Though what made him froze was Derian seemed to start to realize what was going on.
“I…I care about a lot of living things.” ‘Not like you’ did come to his mind but he felt like he’d be severely punished for sassy come backs.
