Travis looked at Citrine with a pitiful expression, then glanced over at the innocent, wide-eyed cat. He pressed his lips together, resigned.

"I'll make her apologize to you," Citrine said, trying not to laugh at how both amused and sympathetic she felt.

After all, even pets had to take responsibility for their mischief.

Putting on her sternest face, Citrine lowered her voice. "Happy, come here."

The little cat heard Citrine's call and immediately perked up, her tail twitching with excitement. She bounded onto Citrine's lap, rubbing her soft, furry head insistently against Citrine's arms.

Citrine couldn't help but give Happy's fluffy face a gentle-but firm-squeeze. "You can't just bully my brother like that. Go apologize to him."
