Sophia stroked her ears and tail, feeling them out letting out a purr as she did so.
The boy looked at her, amused still, the smirk never leaving his face. "Well, how'd you like that?" He asked.
Sophia blushed, her face turning red to contrast with her near white hair. "I-I mean, it makes me look good, but it wasn't really what I was looking for..."
The boy frowned. "Really? And what we're you looking for?"
Sophia looked down, reminded of her dream and embarrassed at the whole ordeal. "I wanted something to help me get better at ballet."
The boy thought a bit. "Okay, then, I'll tell you what. How about I help you if you help me with something?"
Sophia looked up. "Wait, help YOU?"
The boy nodded. "Yeah, are you deaf? That's what I said."
