Speech 8

[arslansenki]

[Residents of 308 Miller, and perhaps some of the nearby neighbors, will be hearing a lot of clattering and yelling after school today.  For those inside, several calls of 'Rincewind, come back here!' and 'Azrael, stay there!  No, don't try to grab the cat!' will be heard.]

[Death gets home from errands just in time to hear commotion in the kitchen]

What's frightened Rincewind now?

[arslansenki]

[Looking like he's been at it a while. He also looks rather sheepish.]

Azrael did, and probably me...

[rincewind_kitty]

[Rincewind will just stay under the couch. Where it's safe.]

[bread_goes_bip]

It's okay, dust bunnies scare him.

[Death cautiously tries to approach the kitten]

[rincewind_kitty]

[Slugger doesn't live on this street but he sometimes comes this way to see if his "great-grandfather" is around (and, admittedly, to see Rincewind as well). Usually, all is calm at the house, so when he sees Rincewind scrambling through the yard toward him with his tail fuzzed up like a bottle brush, Slugger doesn't know whether to get out of the way or hold perfectly still.

Oh... Hello.

[strike_you_out]

[After picking up the cat, Slugger turns to Arslan with a nod of recognition. Then, noting how harried Arslan looks, he glances toward the house.]
