Bristle licked at his paws, he had taken proper care not to get them too dirty before making his pounce, not wanting to cover Apple in any filth.

"Uh, yeah!" Appleshine snorted, "I was getting into character!" She noted that he had taken a length to keep his paws clean when he had pounced on her, and she tilted her head to the side. Had he done that for her? Why did that make her belly spin?
