AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[There’s room for seven in this weather-worn hut, with seven chairs around a table long enough for seven people.

The center of the table is adorned with wooden jugs of water and wooden snack bowls. It’s primarily fruits and nuts, although there are a couple brimming with Unidentified Raw Meat.]

Mmn... Takshaka owns a cat, apparently. It is very cute.

[morbirdinterest]

I see... That seems like an unnecessary strain, to me.

[goodbyenurse]

...Oh.

I also acquired one. She is very cute... I seem to like them.

[morbirdinterest]

...I have no issue with that, so long as it does not try to eat me or something equally ridiculous.

[goodbyenurse]

I will ensure that it sees you as family, and not food.

[morbirdinterest]

Thank you.

[goodbyenurse]

Do you have others to do?

[morbirdinterest]

[considers his list 8|b]

Three left, for me. I suppose I can begin by sharing a worry... Hm.

I worry that sooner or later someone will actually attempt to eat me. The only escape I can attempt at the moment is flying, which is not always effective in enclosed spaces such as the castle. ...Fortunately, most of those who have mistaken me for game are easily mollified the moment I speak. Still, it is somewhat disturbing.

[goodbyenurse]

Yes, I am sure it would be. I am somewhat worried that my new kitten may wind up someone's food...

[morbirdinterest]

A collar or some other identifying device should take care of that.

[goodbyenurse]

Oh, I did specify one of those in the request. It is Amalthean blue, denoting her as ours.

[morbirdinterest]

Perhaps the unusual color will be enough to dissuade any would-be hunters, then.
