Just Another Day

"Good!" Sigrid said perkily and tapped Shanku on the nose with the pad of a finger. "Now hold this shape and finish your pinafore."

Sigrid got off of Shanku and began to straighten her pinafore and her head scarf.

"Ya did all dat on purpose!?" Shanku demanded angrily as she rolled to her stomach.

"Of course!" Sigrid laughed and looked over her shoulder at Shanku. "All teachers train their students in this manner."

"Ya society is seriously messed up," Shanku said with narrowed eyes and ears laid back.

"At least we don't banish cubs," Sigrid smirked. "We've got enough sense to work with them. Back to sewing. When you finish, we'll have a good grooming."

"If'n I change back?" Shanku asked.

Sigrid pulled a wing back to let Shanku see her ducked head and all her sharp teeth bared in a snarl.

"Got it," Shanku said solemnly. She took up a needle and continued to hem her pinafore. It wasn't hard to maintain her feral form. She was very tense and on edge after Sigrid's apparent attempt to cause her harm. It took longer than she expected to finish her simple apron because her hands were still shaking and she often missed the cloth. While the escort seemed to be preoccupied with arranging some items in a satchel, Shanku had no doubt she was still being watched. When she was finally done, she held it up for Sigrid's approval.
