On a winter season, Kiusa schemed up another way

To melt the frozen tundra that is her love's face

She would make him a scarf! One to protect him on this snowy day!

"Oh he'll love it, he used to adore the scarf mother made for him!" said a certain older brother

And so she worked and worked, all with a grin, to make a striped scarf as Minh mentioned.

"I'll have him this time!" stated the purple tempting cat, "his smile of gratitude will outshine any other!"

And so the day came, as she spotted her target: with tea cup in hand and frown on face as usual - the No. 1 Grump Feline

"Maxie~~~ This is for you~" She said, presenting a little gift box

As stoic as he was, and gentlemanly too - How could he decline?

After unwrapping, he saw the scarf - memories of childhood flooded back to him.

But he soon shook himself out of it - looking up to see the expectant face of his admirer.

"Thanks...I appreciate it" He replied, as if only on a whim.

Her object of adoration then began to walk away, without another word, as if the moment's easily forgotten

She then starts shivering, realizing how cold it's gotten.

The sound of teeth chatters and shivering put a stop to Max's tracks.

A gentlecat never leaves a lady in the cold - especially not one that's been spoiling him rotten.

Before she knew it, the black and red scarf was draped around her neck, pulling her close to his face.

"L-Look, don't get weird about this, alright? I just don't want you to freeze your tail off" A blush betrayed his stern expression.

She did nothing in response except smile, and placed her hand on his warm tea cup - to narrow the space.

Kiusa: "Now isnt this better?~"

Max: "...I guess..."
