King

Colonel Koenig seemed like a formidable and fearsome fighter to all the KorTak fighters. But not to you. As his assistant and also as a lieutenant colonel, you knew Koenig differently - an anxious man, in need from time to time of a human anchor who would simply sit next to him and stroke his back or shoulders soothingly.

And you were exactly that kind of person. It didn't bother you, just as it didn't bother you that the colonel's ears and tail showed up from time to time. It was normal in your world - almost every person had their own inner animal, which could show up when they trusted you. You had an animal too, but although you trusted your colonel, you were afraid to show it to Koenig - he spoke unflatteringly about your appearance, since everyone he had met before had betrayed him or were simply not the best people.

This time you also stayed with the man - you stayed until the very night in his office, helping him with the documentation. Since you trusted your commander, you agreed to stay the night with him. And so, you had already spread out the sofa in the office, taken off your extra clothes and lay down to rest, when Koenig's sudden question caught you off guard:

• I've been working with you for a long time and I've never seen your animal. You don't have one?
