Chapter ten: Little man

Another Urving chapter, just to reflect. Comments are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

-10- Little man

The image of Issac's smiling face, when I told him about his room, will forever be a pleasant memory. Seeing his natural exhiliration develope, was the greatest thing in the world to me! My own grin lengthened when I heard his shower engauge. He was getting accustomed to the house! Hopefully sometime soon he will feel comfortable enough to open up and really live with me! Though I was incredibly tired, it was hard to stop replaying today in my mind. Issac willingly slept in my arms earlier! He may not know it, but during that nap he nuzzled against me many times. I can't speak for Iza's sleep habits, but he seemed happy! Feeling him cling to my fur made me tear up and I am not ashamed to admit that! Iza is so... helpless, both emotionally and physically! He's so small and frail, yet so vivacious at the same time! Though his file would say otherwise, Issac is not a threat and he can be trusted!

There aren't many humans I have met who can rival my size, but Issac makes up for height with personality. Really hope he gets bigger though... I'm worried about hurting him accidentally... Damn I can't wait to see him in his collar again! A'ww... I'm gonna ask him to play his guitar, with the collar on! That'll be really awesome to see, like he's in the FireTails! Kicking both paws toward the ceiling, I was suddenly hit with a tornado of excitement and eager foresight. Nothing will ever be the same, but in a good way! I will always have someone to talk to and share with! All the places that were basic to me, would become interesting again, because I get to show Iza! My little furless friend, though very nervous, shows signs of great potential! His limitless curiousity is a great place to start, but I was still afraid he would try to run away or worse... If I do good by him, then he wont ever have a reason to run away! We will be friends...

Nothing prepared me for how mature the lil fellah really is! Back in the agency, he was so stern and reserved, but I thought this was just to hide his fear. Now that Iza's home, I can tell he is just a serious human and this whole experience has weighed heavily on him. I just can't help but treat him like my pet though! Iza's short stature made him look like a child, but I need to remember he is a man. My very own pint sized, pup of a human! Seeing his smile stirred something in my soul, leaving me eager for another. His bright eyes, which illuminated when focus struck them, were the only thing I wanted to see tomorrow morning! I just want to snuggle him and make... sure he's... alright... My heart ached suddenly at the thought of Issac being harmed. I have to... want to, take care of him! He doesn't have a home anymore... It was used up completely and pretty soon, nothing will exist at all... This is all the more reason to make him happy! When you think about it, the fact we have humans here is incredible! Issac traveled millions of lightyears to arrive and... get locked in a cage... Damn, no wonder he is so afraid of me!

The pamphlet said that humans are naturally going to be frightened and distant at first, but Issac actively hides his emotions from me. How do I know if he is really happy? How do I know if he is mad at me? Will he ever get to a point where he tells me? Regardless of his little breakdown, I am amazed by the tenacity and courage he showed today! His willingness to mesh with my life is honorable, but I was willing to change as well! My friends all pointed out the ups and downs of having Iza, but he changed minds quickly! With a little booze and a bit of charm, everyone was won over by my human.

That's another thing, Issac is so smart! Being here he must not feel that way, but his intuition alone is impressive! The way he speaks and the words Iza chooses to say, also show me he had great parents. Oh man... seeing his folks... That was heavy for the both of us. I sort of want to see them again... Ooh we can decorate his room tomorrow! We have to play DE3! I gotta help him set his pager up too! Again I couldn't help myself and I kicked my paws outward, imagining the fun we are going to have! Once he opens up a little he is going to be such a blast to be around, I just know it! Issac's life will be about fun from here on out! Never again will I see that terrified little man... Just thinking about how he reacted brings tears to my eyes. This file would call him dangerous, but he is simply afraid of us! I want to make him understand us... Or atleast the small handful I think are pretty great!

Chapter summed up in three words: simple, sweet, and caring. I love the little chapters that are through Urving's eyes and love to see more about his personality as the chapters progress. Great job!
