-He didn’t really know if he got her since he wasn’t really looking in her direction, putting his focus on the berries.

Heat was somewhat surprised when Rebecca ruffled his fur, blinking as if she had brought something not so safe for children into the conversation. He would have looked up to her, but he didn’t. He was afraid one of the berries would fall if he glanced away for too long.

Giving a short nod when she gave him the order. Holding the basket up a bit higher, and glancing briefly along where he was, and where she took the basket. Following along like a duckling, and placing the basket carefully on the table, stepping back with his hands out in case any of the berries decided they wanted to fall after he set the basket down.

Walking backwards for a moment, suspicious on whether one would fall or not. Before turning around to go get another basket outside.-

I will get the rest, if you start on washing them Rebecca!

-He said, as he did a short jog outside.-

Rebecca nodded with a bright smile, going to open the berry compartment of her fridge before turning on the water. She took several berries to the sink, gently washing them under the water while picking off any stray leaves and twigs.

“Once you get them all inside, y’can help me put ‘em all away in storage after I wash ’em. I’ll leave a few Pechas and Orans over for the smoothie though.”

“You’re doing a great job, Heat. I’m glad I have such a wonderful helper while Indigo and Kin are out.”
