[Ever since his small snow war between Kloe and himself, Sandrath was prowling the Keep as a cat. The main reason he remained in this form for now, was to be warm and perhaps snuggle up with a few residents that lived in the barracks.

The black cat could be found on any floor, while avoiding the snow at all cost.]

[Aara was walking alone in the hall, contemplating, when a rare sight interrupted her thoughts. She stopped. Stared. She had not seen many animals such as this one, and it took her a moment to recall the word humans used for such.]

Cat.

[She hadn't been aware she said it aloud, but now that she had she smiled, then crouched in place with her arms wrapping around her knees. She didn't want it to think her a predator, after all. She didn't think cats were considered food, anyway.]

You are called 'cat.'

[She was pleased she had remembered.]

Where did you come from, I wonder?

[sanindisguise]

[When Aara spotted him in his feline form and said 'cat', he instantly sprang from what he was doing to greet her with a meow. It didn't take him long to reach her as he was sprinting. He was purring rather loudly as he brushed up against her, his tail tickling her fingers as he passed by.]

[angha_firebird]

[With a light gasp, Aara remained perfectly still. What if she frightened it? It's friendly greeting and the soft, comforting sounds emitting from its chest made her relax and smile, however. With a smile, Aara tentatively unwraps one of the arms around her knees and slowly and gently reaches toward the cat, wondering if it would startle--or worse. Hiss and bite or take a swipe at her. She'd seen many underfed strays do as much.]

[He wasn't frightened. Why would he be? It was someone he knew, but sadly she didn't know it was a good friend in disguise.

He continued to walk around her, brushing his head against her before stopping infront of her. The black cat was still purring loudly as he let her touch him.]

[angha_firebird]

[With a happy, breathy laugh, Aara leaned closer to pet the cat. She moved to sit on the stone floor, her legs daintily kept together and to one side.]

Well. You are very friendly. And so soft!

[Leaning forward, Aara moved to lightly nuzzle against the cat's head, all hesitance forgotten.]

[sanindisguise]

[He nudged in to her fingers before realizing a face had pressed up against him. If he was in his physical form, he would be chuckling, but instead he only purred more and nuzzled back.]

[angha_firebird]

[At the return nuzzle Aara couldn't contain her happiness. She smiled, placing a gentle kiss near the kitty's ear.]

Can I keep you?

[She was almost afraid to ask, and she ducked her head, running her fingers once again through soft fur.]

Or... will you be my friend always?

[With a friend like this, Aara had a feeling she'd never be sad or lonely again.]

[sanindisguise]

[Still purring as she kissed near his ear, but his ear flapped a little out of habit.

Her question earned a small meow and a head nudge, intentionally running his jaw across her finger.

Oh, if only she could understand him!]

[angha_firebird]

[With a light giggle, Aara gave her own deep, hum-like purr in response to the cat's, hoping the cat would like it. Her eyes sparkled at the meow and gesture.]

Does that mean yes?

[She was breathless with wonder. Did cats make such wonderful friends so quickly? Was this normal behavior, or was Aara simply lucky? The pads of her fingers lightly ran along the cat's face and under its jaw. Aara's free hand came around to gently scratch between neck and ear.]

You are beautiful.

[sanindisguise]

[He gave another meow and continued to brush against her. He even moved away for a moment to move to her legs to jump on to, until her fingers reached him again and flopped against her.

He gave another meow, not protesting at all.]

[angha_firebird]

[With another light giggle, Aara continued her loving treatment. She noticed the cat had crouched to jump up on her lap, and in that moment Aara couldn't think of anything better. Re-situating her legs, Aara lightly tapped her lap with her hand.]

You can come up, if you like.

[sanindisguise]

[When she shifted, he moved away for a moment before returning and jumping on top. Getting comfortable once more before laying down and nudging her hand with his head.]

[angha_firebird]

[Aara gives a soft laugh, delighted when the feline hopped onto her lap and demanded more pets. She obliged happily, humming low in her throat. A soft purr-like sound in return.]

[sanindisguise]

[He paused for a moment, listening the noise Aara was making, but was soon distracted by the pets. He starts to purr loudly.]

[angha_firebird]

[Continuing with her low hum-like purr, Aara pets the sleek cat lovingly, leaning down to nuzzle her face against his.]

You really are a charming cat.

[sanindisguise]

[He meowed at the compliment before nuzzling back at her, still purring.]
