En's ears slowly flattened at Marco's initial reaction. "Heyyy," he whined, both telepathically and in a low mew. "I'm not supposed to be cute, that's the problem! I'm supposed to be big! And-And threatening!" He leaned away when Marco crouched down, freezing at the pets. Another whine left him, and he was just about to tell him to cut it out when--
     The kitten's ears perked up. Oh! Oh, that spot! It was like finding the perfect spot for a scratch! En felt his mind melt as he leaned towards the scritches, purrs erupting from him like an engine.
     Thankfully, the brainwashing was stopped when Marco stopped petting him. He shook himself back to reality then sat down, his tail wrapping around his legs, as he looked up at him. "No, I need you to teach me what I'm doing wrong with my transformations!" he said with a stern tap of his tiny paw. Unfortunately, he was rendered useless as soon as he was pet once more.
     Despite how much he wanted to become large and powerful, he had to admit, these pets were amazing. And seeing Marco like this was pretty cute too. Maybe it'd be okay to indulge in this a little longer.
