nineteen fancies

[ann_withane]

[Anne hadn't pushed the button. And though she knows it was the right thing to do -- or not to do, rather -- she still can't help feeling that maybe, if she had, she would have been reunited with Arthur and Merlin, even if only for a bit. She feels empty without them around; her life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes, but she cannot take

[Ah! That girl she met before--isn't it? Yes, it must be. Oh! Oh...what a shame that she's...a kitten today.

Well, she toddles over anyway... She'll at least try.]

[Anne notices the little kitten toddling over, and though she isn't enthralled with cats as a general rule, this one seems sweet. And it doesn't seem right that a creature that small should be wandering the streets alone. The irony of that thought does not occur to her.

She squats down and holds her hand out to the kitten.]

Hello little one.

[Oh...for heaven's sake. She wasn't really a kitten. Not that anyone could...really tell that.

[Anne stands.]

[She hesitates, then adds:]

You can walk with me, if you like.

Action

[Yes please. If it's possible for a kitten to curtsy, well, she just did. And she proceeds to trot along with her--for a while. Perhaps she'll go her own way eventually.]
