Kit and Rexamus

Meow?...*snorgle snort*...

the ambivalent response

Kit curls up cozy purring

next to the scorched warm belly

of Rexamus the dragon king

as with any proper cat

her company is accepted

if head perches and back sits

upon an otherwise fearsome lizard

are hardly invited

her company amuses him

and she chases away pests

that would dig and fester

beneath seemingly hardy scales

he admits he likes her subtleties

especially the calming purrs

and on days whose sharpness

exceeds both their claws

a purr can relax

every last scaly sinew.
