Her head shot up from her work in time to see the fennec jump away from the cat to bounce into her bag. It was the hole he'd made his own now and since that was his choice she'd allowed it. Of course that meant she was pushing her bag behind her now as she pulled out a small piece of dried fish that she waved before the nose of the cat as a distraction.

She meant no harm to the cat for acting on instinct. But she still wished to protect this fennec that had chosen her for whatever reason.

"Shhh. Shhh." No anger. Just a calm offering.
