Akki has found himself claimed as a friend by a chatty little squirrel.

She sits on his head, between his horns, and talks.

And talks.

She never stops talking.

Akki tried to get rid of her once, by shaking his head hard enough to fling her into a nearby river. She's unable to swim, and he reluctantly waded in to retrieve her.

Now, she thinks they're besties. You can see from his expression that the feeling is not mutual.
