i. Unwanted Companion

Shortly after Hercules's wake, Velanna can be seen walking around camp with a tiny white and orange shadow. She seems mostly annoyed the the constant presence of the animal, who occasionally meows and gets a glare directed in his direction, before she continues on with what she's doing.

Eventually she gets exasperated and turns on her heel, pointing sharply in the general direction from whence the kitten came.

"Go away, I don't want you!"

ii. Library

The cat follows her, even to the library. She's seemed to grudgingly accept his presence at this point, and while she's reading or writing the cat is curled up on the chair next to hers, enjoying the sunlight streaming through the window she likes to sit near. She still pointedly avoids looking at the cat more than she has to, and it's quite obvious she isn't touching it. He's so cute though, what kind of monster is she for ignoring that little white belly?

iii. Camp Shady

She's accepted the inevitable. The cat is now hers, it won't leave her alone, and she has tried to push it off on others. It's mother is nowhere to be found, and someone has to take care of him, so the burden has become hers.

At least he seems content to curl up on top of the furs draped over her lap while she sits in front of the fire, her book propped up against his back while he purrs thunderously, her free hand absently scratching his chin. It's almost like she likes the little furball.

Library

[el_tybs]

What grabs his attention is when his own furry companion meows softly as he's picking out a book and then proceeds to hop off his shoulder and onto a table. If it was just that he'd be fine, but then the little pile of fur goes running off to another side of the library.

A heavy sigh. "Nikita," he whispers sharply, but the kitten continues on. Setting the book down - not what he wanted anyways - Sam quickly follows after. He's half expecting Nikita to be 'assaulting' some poor soul who has a sandwich or something, but instead he comes to find her wrestling with another cat.

Seeing that there was someone next to the chair, Sam gives a sheepish grin and rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry. That one yours?"

Camp Shady

Now that Inessa's worn out Garahel with an active day ended with a long game of fetch, she brings her tired mabari over to the fire for some spoiling. The young Warden is a little spent herself, though she perks up at seeing Velanna. It's been a while since they've spoken and not since she arrived. When Garahel plops down by the fire, too exhausted to be curious for once, she joins him and smiles at Velana. Her eyes got stray to the cat, hoping it won't freak out because a mabari is suddenly here. Garahel, she trusts to be gentle even when he's not plopped on the ground awaitng belly-rubs.

"It's good to see you again. Who is your companion?"

"You know, I knew he'd eventually win this battle." Is Bethany's amused reply to seeing Velanna curled up with her cat. She's got her bag with her, and her dog ... elsewhere. She doesn't want to hurt the poor kitten after all.

Instead, she digs into her bag and pulls out some small cat toys, placing them on the ground near where Velanna is with her kitten. "What have you decided to name him?"

Anders is smirking. Granted, it's not a rare sight on his face, but it's rare that he directs it at Velanna. He leans against a tree and smirks, watching her with the cat. Before too long it's grown into an all-out grin.

"What was that you were saying the other day? Go away, you didn't want him?"
