WHO: Lily and OPEN WHERE: The streets of the city WHEN: Late morning, early afternoon WARNINGS: None yet SUMMARY: Lily got bored of sitting around Remus' and decided to take a walk. FORMAT: Whatever!
A stray cat wandering down the City streets was not an uncommon sight. It was a perfect way for Cheshire to get around when he wanted to go unseen, without using his powers. It was less attention grabbing than his Wonderland form, and there was less chance of him getting kicked from being invisible.
Yes, walking around like a normal stray worked wonders.
Wonders when he was not darting between peoples' legs humming some odd song/poem.
Lily looked down when she felt something brush against her leg, smiling at the cat. The only cats she ever saw were the ones people had as pets at Hogwarts, but she loved them anyway.
"Hi, kitty," she said, kneeling beside him. She thought she heard an odd humming, but dismissed it, figuring she was hearing things.
Cheshire's gaze turned to Lily, grinning quite large for a cat. "Why hello, my dear." he purred. It wasn't often that people actually stopped him, unless they knew who he was - and that was rare. He didn't recognize this human, so he doubted that was the reason she'd spoken to him.
Lily gasped, eyes going wide. Had the cat just spoken to her? That was....new. Not even at Hogwarts did animals talk- unless you count centaurs as animals, in which case only MOST of the animals didn't talk.
"Of course I speak, my dear." he spoke, hardly paying attention to her reaction. "Doesn't everyone?" In one way or another.
Wonderland seemed to gather up everyone's wits and allow speech they'd all understand, even the flowers spoke there. Of course, the flowers would also murder you the first chance they got. Such was life. It was rare that someone couldn't speak where Cheshire was from.

"I....you speak?" she asked, thoroughly amazed.

"You speak, do you not."

Lily thought it might be rather insensitive to imply that since she was human, she should be able to talk, while cats shouldn't.
"I've never met an animal that could talk before," she amended.
