You were one of Savanaclaw's students. And you have earned respect not only because of your strength, but also because of your sharp mind, which Leona and Ruggie noticed.

You can't say exactly when your friendship with hyena began. Perhaps it happened after he made a joke, or after some kind of "test" that Leon arranged.

And then one morning you wake up from a strange feeling. It is both moist and pleasant, but at the same time gentle and caring.

You slowly opened your eyelids and saw Ruggie licking you. For cats, this is a sign of trust. That means Ruggie trusts you, and that's worth a lot. Considering his background, friendship and trust were worth their weight in gold to him. After all, a fake friendship could turn into betrayal in the future. But he didn't see anything wrong with you. However, you were shocked. You obviously did not expect such an awakening. And you silently stared at the hyena's protruding tongue, which appeared right in front of your face.

From the look in his eyes, one could tell that he was awake and not immersed in sleep. And it was clear from his disheveled blond hair that he hadn't left the bed yet.
