My animus snarls in annoyance because it now doesn’t like any female but my regina touching me with her magic. But I refrain from physically growling because I don’t need to kill her. She checks over Eugene for good measure and though his heart beats rapidly under my fingers at the attention, he’s a good boy and remains still. “All done, Mr Fengari and Eugene,” doc says. “I hope I don’t have to see you here again, but somehow I think I will.” Smart birdie.
