Natali was quite bemused at the sight before her. She had only taken care of the toddler for a short time, but already to stubborn little cub was worming his way into her heart. Ussuri was a difficult child at times, his constant need to gnaw and scratch at things more than an issue for the professional cleaning lady. Often, she found herself cleaning his messes after a long day of work, her irritation nearly unconquerable. However, one look into his soft green eyes, one glance at his kitten-like pout, and she found herself unable to punish him.

Afterall, he was only a toddler, and they always said toddlers would be the worst.

Ussuri held onto her gloved hand with his own clawed one, clearly understanding that the glove was there to protect the adult from his sharp weapons. Looking around at the big, and abit dirty city that was close to their home, his tail waved back and forth expectantly. It was only when he saw the colorful playground around the corner that he dropped her hand and rushed ahead, giggling to himself as soon as his feet touched the rubber of the ground.

Behind him, Natali watched with a soft smile and content eyes.
