But Kaiba hones in on that weakness. He was also a predator; it was instinct. He couldn't help it, just as Ferroc couldn't help his reaction.

"Don't worry," he says in a tone that was almost reassuring, if blunt. "She's friendly. And she can't do much other than light a match."

Kisara looks offended by this, puffing herself to try and look tough in front of their guest. She fails, of course, though her master can't help but laugh. He isn't shy about passing her around, so he extends his arms to Ferroc if he's brave enough to touch.

"Go on. She's stubborn, but she can't resist a good pat on her horns."
