Story 2: Naked
It has come to my attention that I am naked.
"Off! Get off my head!"
BUT I AM NAKED! This is undignified!
"Off!"
Fur does not count, I do not care what lies you have been told! I require clothes!
"Ye'll be wantin' t'rethink th'disobedience, monkey...."
SILENCE! CLOTHES!
...ow.
"I warned ye."
You DARE? I will not be thrown!
But I require your cooperation, so I will punish you later. Be grateful for the reprieve.
"Now keep quiet. I may yet change my mind on killin' ye."
As though I would let you. Hmmm... there must be clothing around somewhere.
Ah, in this large box.
Hmm.
Well. Beggars cannot be choosers. At least I will not have to rip a hole for my tail.
"Now 'tis too quiet. What th'devil... are... heh heh heh...."
Is this not my color?
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
Perhaps being naked was more dignified than this choice. All the same, I shall not brook insolence!
BAD HUMAN! NO MOCK!
...ow. Twice is a bad habit.
"While 'tis humorous beyond measure that ye wear a pink doll's dress an' break th'doll, I'll not have any pet of mine look so ridiculous."
As I have told you, I am not a... wait, where are you going? I was SPEAKING to you!
Ingrate.

You know, this is rather charming. Is there a bonnet, perhaps?
Hey! Put me down! BAD HUM- oh, it's you.
That is unwanted physical cont... wait, I was just getting fond of... dammit.
"There. Now behave yerself or ye'll end up with a broken leg keepin' ye still an' strangled with yer own tail."
Hmmph. I will ignore you, and find a mirror.
No mockery from the human. Room for tail. Appropriate color for my magnificence, and will not show blood.
You learn slowly but well. I am pleased.
"GET OFF MY HEAD!"
...ow.
