Miramo chuckled slightly when Niro hugged him, bringing his hand up to pet the slave's head. He almost wished the boy had cat ears so he could rub them. Other than the obvious places, the white neko really didn't think the human body had any particular area that felt better than the rest when touched.

After a moment, his ears perked up again. "Oh, I almost forgot." he said, frowning slightly. "Are you hungry or want a bath or anything? I'll get you whatever you need." There was always so much to do with a new slave after first bringing them home. They needed special attention to get them back to good health. Niro seemed pretty well off, but there could sometimes be other problems that weren't completely obvious. 

Miramo let out a soft purr as Niro leaned against him, feeling pleasantly surprised that the slave had warmed up to him so quickly despite his previous masters. There was something about their closeness that was rather comfortable without there being anything else to it. 

"I have some clothes that'll fit you." he told Niro, switching to stroking the boy's hair. Miramo had never actually had a slave this small before. He'd probably end up giving him some clothes that had been his when he was younger.

(-fail-) 

((We're both fails xD))

Miramo smiled gently. "Any time," he murmured, wrapping his free arm around Niro to give him a one-armed hug. "Were you asking because you wanted a bath?" the white neko asked after a moment. He'd been serious about getting the slave anything he needed. If the boy was to ever recover from all those years of abuse, he really did need someone to be there for him regardless.

Miramo nodded and reluctantly pulled away from Niro so he could lead him through the doors, taking his hand gently to guide him through the mansion. He took the boy to the large downstairs bathroom, which was pretty much always clean from lack of use. He let go of the slave's hand to kneel by the tub, turning the water on to set the temperature. "What kind of water temperature do you like?" the white neko asked, glancing back at the slave. 

((Sorry, I typed this up then forgot to post it xD)) 

Miramo nodded, adjusting the temperature to something close to what the slave had asked, and checked to make sure it wasn't too hot or had a chill before plugging the drain so the bath could fill up.

"Do you need me to stay here and help or anything? It might be difficult to wash without getting your bandages wet." the white neko said, actually seeming a bit nervous. It probably would have been a better idea to treat the raw marks after the slave had taken a bath, but Niro had seemed really uncomfortable at the time.

((They. Forgot. The bird! xD)) 

((Lol, he'll probably end up walking in on Niro ;3

And sorry, D: Sometimes I'm out of the room when I get an email so I don't hear the chime >_<)) 

Miramo's ears perked up in surprise at the mention of the bird. He'd totally forgot about it. His tail flicked in annoyance. Usually he wasn't /that/ forgetful. "Oh, right." he said quickly, "Don't worry, I'll go get him for you. You just enjoy your bath." With that said, he quickly left the bathroom and made his way to the porch. He hopped the little guy was still okay. Snakes often made their homes out in the forest around the mansion. Usually they only came out at night, but everyone once and a while he'd see one out during the day.

Once the white neko reached the porch, he breathed a sigh of relief. The mockingbird was still there on his jacket where he'd left it. With a small smile he picked it up, rubbing it's tiny head with the tip of his finger affectionately.
