Staring down at the dejected Kikimora, I could only scoff dismissively.

"Look at you- you're a filthy mess...."

She looks up at me with tears welling up in her eyes.

"S-sir?" she asks, he lips starting to quiver.

"If you can't take good care of yourself, why should I think you'd be able to take good care of any household chores?" I ask.

"I-I'm sorry sir, it's just that I've fallen on hard times recently...." she begins to say.

"None of that matters- if your job is to make things neat and tidy, then you need to present yourself as neat and tidy." I interrupt.

"I-I understand, sir..." she says nothing else but sighs dejectedly and looks away from me.

She sulks for a few moments, looking away and unable to see my outstretched hand. When she finally does see it, she looks bewildered.

"Come on- you can wash up at my place and maybe get a bite to eat."

"Sir?" she's still clearly confused, but her expression lightens up. As she grabs my hand to stand up, I can see he tail is wagging slightly.

"D-don't get the wrong idea.....I...uh...I'm only doing this because I feel sorry for you and I don't want to see you panhandling every time I get groceries...."

"Oh thank you sir!" the kiki said, wrapping her arms around me as we began walking back to my car and not acknowledging my blushing.

I did my good deed for the day, but oh lordy, what did I get myself into?
