บท 177: Mother-Daughter Chat

"That… To think he would actually try something so absurd upon meeting you…" Puula sighed, leaning into her daughter after hearing her side of the story. But she suddenly chuckled out of nowhere, "Then again, didn't you do that to Oli way back."

"Mom!" 

Netra shouted but it only made Puula smile wider. It was the first time she had heard her daughter act as a maturing girl would. Finally, Netra showed Puula a glimpse of her personality hidden behind the cold front that fox girl always maintained.

Realizing how long she had been staring at her daughter, Puula leaned in closer and wrapped one of her tails around Netra. "You know, we haven't been able to talk in a while."

"No. We've been able to talk, we just haven't," corrected Netra, hastily returning to her cold, aloof attitude.

"True… But why is that? You've been avoiding me, right?" 

"..." 

"Netra, you can be honest with me. It's not hard to figure out."
