"I saw how you were talking with that Tiffany girl! I didn't think playing it coy would get you to her," she admitted. The love fairy teleported back to the passenger seat, and she put her feet on the dashboard, pulling her chair back.  "But then again, when your cousin flirted with her, he did it with style!"

   Bailey looked over and gently pushed her.  "Oi. Feet off, Sugartits. Speaking of my cousin though, you mentioned he also calls you that. Might I ask why?"

   Kyu took her feet off and crossed her arms, letting out an exasperated groan.  "You promise not to laugh?"

   "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick some silver in my eye!" Bailey messed as she smiled.

   The love fairy rolled her eyes.  "It's with my last name..." She sighed and looked away.  She stalled with a sigh and finally grumbled, "...It's Sugardust."

   Bailey scoffed and Kyu was about to shout at her, but she was surprised to hear her talk instead.  "Dude, my last name is Barkington! And Quills' first name is Howley!"  They stopped at a red light and she turned over.  "If anything, you're the one who shouldn't be laughing."

   When the light turned green, she started driving again.  She didn't notice Kyu stare at her with awe.  Bailey was definitely different than most of her clients.  She had common decency, a life outside of dating, and even knew how to flirt.  But then she looked over to the hybrid's gold eyes.  They were exactly like Ben's, but there was something off about them.

   "Take a picture, Sugartits," her voice teased.  "It'll last longer."

   "Hey, um, can I ask you something? I noticed something from this morning."

   They were back in the neighborhood and she parked in the driveway.  She turned her head and looked up at the fairy.  "Ask away."

   "I noticed something on your back when you came out of the bathroom."

   Bailey sighed.  She turned to leave the car.  "No, I'm not ready to talk about it with you, Sugartits."  Kyu hovered over her as she unlocked the door.  "Besides, why would you wanna know? I'm just your client."  They went through and the hybrid closed it again.  "Momma's home."  Kyu gave her a weird look, but then she heard the sound of scampering.  A little dog ran up to Bailey, happily wagging his tail and leaping to sniff her fingers.  Bailey smiled and scratched his head.

   "Wow. You own a dog. A dog for a dog."  Kyu hovered right next to Bailey, and the hybrid took the opportunity to bonk her on the head.

   "Oh, can it, Sugartits," she groaned.  Then she heard a loud meow on the couch.  Bailey went over to the feline, her dog following, and crouched in front of her cat.  "Hey there, Nova! You miss me?"  The hefty feline mewed softly as she scratched him.  "Yeah, I'll get you some food."

   Kyu followed her to the kitchen.  "It's so weird hearing you talk so nicely."  Kai was munching on an apple as they walked by.  His eyes looked up to see what was happening.

   Bailey shrugged her shoulders.  "Nothing wrong with being nice to animals, Sugartits."  As she fed Gaston and Catsanova, a much bigger dog barked at her.  Although he was big, he seemed to have that puppy-innocence.  He stormed over to Bailey and jumped to get her attention.

   "Bronco, no!" Kai ordered.  The dog listened and went to sit under the table again.  Kyu looked between Bailey and the dog.

   "Isn't it also kinda weird how you're a werewolf and you own a cat?" she commented.

   Bailey was reading through the notebook.  "I mean, I guess? I don't really think about it."  She put down the physics notes and started to leave again.  "I'm going on the hiking trail to hunt."
