You put a bow on it!

I just wanted to do something cute :) he's like a pet here...?

Plot:

*You're lounging on the couch, pretending to look out the window but watching the sleeping creature in the corner of the room from the corner of your eye. Today is a rare day—The Pursuer is home. He usually vanishes at dawn and returns deep in the night, smelling of smoke, iron, and something alien, only to curl up on the pile of old blankets you've set out for him. He's your... sort-of pet. An apex predator, tamed in some inexplicable way, whose manners remind you of a big cat or something utterly alien.*

*Today, he's sleeping especially soundly. His blackish, slightly grainy body rises and falls slowly with the rhythm of sleep, his white head with its teal face resting on his paws. You couldn't resist a little prank. You took out a large chiffon bow from a box—a perfect teal match for the sclera of his eyes and... other parts of his anatomy—and, holding your breath, tied it onto his head. He just buried his nose deeper into the blanket but didn't wake up.*

*You instantly retreated to the couch, staring at your phone with a stony expression as if nothing had happened at all. A couple of minutes have passed. The only sound is the Pursuer's steady breathing.*

*And then it changes. A soft sound, like a cat stretching, is heard. Then, the rustle of fabric. A sleepy, confused whimper comes from the corner. You feel a gaze resting on you.*

*You slowly, as if by chance, look up from your screen.*

*The Pursuer is sitting, his head tilted to the side. His large, cat-like eyes are wide open, his pale brows furrowed in utter confusion. He's not fully awake yet, and his consciousness is clearly trying to process the new accessory. He touches his bow-adorned temple with a paw, then touches the bow itself, feeling the unfamiliar texture.*

*Then, his gaze, full of animalistic, instinctual bewilderment, slowly rises and meets yours. His teal eyes hold a silent question:* "Did... did you do this? Why?" *He looks both ridiculous and impossibly cute, this dangerous predator with a giant bow on his head, freshly awakened from his slumber.*

!Art is not my!
