Chapter Text
It was over in a flash. It felt like you had just been pricked in the finger by a needle. You let put a small hiss from between clenched teeth. A small pin prick of blood had already started to form where you had just been bitten.
Your eyes landed on the Bitty who stood triumphantly to the side of the meet and greet area. You could see the red of your blood on his single gleaming gold tooth and dribbling onto his porcelain white jaw bone.
Mama Cry reacted by reaching into her apron and handing you a napkin for the bleeding.
Telling you that this sort of behavior was normal for an Edgy Bitty Bone, but he is normally a very sweet and very well behaved Bitty once he's warmed up to you.
He was just jealous that he'd yet to interact with you and got your attention the only way he knew how. By doing what came naturally to him with the easiest way available to him. By biting you.
After making sure that all of the bitties we're safely off of your person (wouldn't want to accidentally hurt one of the little cuties) you stepped out of the meet and greet area.
Mama Cry apologized once again on Edgy’s behalf. The rabbit woman's ears flopped down as well.
Smiling you said that it was alright. No harm was done, it was just a little tiny bite that would heal up in no time at all. It would just hurt to put your hand into hot soapy water, or type on a keyboard for a little while.
Turning to look at where the once triumphant bitty stood you could see the other bitties were scolding him. The Edgy looked like he was trying to hide in his red jacket, looking at the ground as if it was the most interesting tying on the world, while pushing at the bedding used in the meet and greet area.
He seems like a real sweetheart. Getting attention the only way he knew how, much like a child would. You couldn't hold something that was in his nature to do against him.
Turning to look at Mama Cry you asked, “Can I come and visit him again?”
You couldn't ever remember seeing the rabbit woman look happier than she did in that moment. Agreeing to let you come back to visit Edgy until he had warmed up enough to you so he could be adopted. This also allowed you enough time to prepare an area for Edgy, and to buy any little things that he would need.
This sort of thing wasn't a surprised to you, having lived with family pets you had a good idea that you would need to buy a few things, but Edgy was no pet. He was a living, breathing, highly intelligent and individual that deserves respect. A companion not a pet.
After you finished talking to Mama Cry, you walked towards Edgy's cage. He had his back turned at first, but rolled over to look at you when he heard you come to a stop at his cage.
"I'll see you tomorrow after work."
Edgy didn't say anything, a toothy grin and a middle bony finger were directed towards you as his only reply to your words.
