"Well, I suppose it would do, seasoned with windolene and bird shit . . ."
The mumbled "Hater!" was barely heard.
"Not hater - father. And kitten see, kitten do . . . " Warne nodded towards five very-interested-in-their-papa's-activity kittens sitting on the grass under the wet window ledge.
"Kittens gotta drink . . . " More slurping.
"Windolene and bird shit, Papa . . bird shit which could contain histoplasmosis, cryptococcus, candadiasis . . . " Warne's litany of kitten-threatening diseases paused in time with Ranel's pause in licking. He could almost see Ranel shrug before moving to lap once again.

"Ma'ical kitte's"
"Magicephalitis, sarcomancyosis, streptomagicillian resistant . . . "
