Damn...Rivera is so kind. Too kind, actually. She had a soft heart-and, well, a soft chest too - but that wasn't the point right now.
Blitz twitched an ear, the long, sharp things standing up like twin antennas. His hearing was ten times sharper than any human's, and unfortunately that meant he caught every poisonous word the two maids whispered in the corridor behind them.
He heard them ridicule Rivera for the summoning of the weakest magical beast ever recorded.
He heard them whisper that she was the greatest disappointment in Dalmenton history.
He heard them laugh - as if his precious Rivera was some kind of pathetic joke.
Blitz's tiny paws curled into trembling fists.
How dare they.
How dare they talk about her like that.
