The back door opens, admitting a rush of cold air and a troll catgirl wrapped in furs.

Pretty soon she's arranged the furs into a heap on the floor by the fire, and is stretched out on top of them with her tablet and a starfish sandwich and a mint chocolate milkshake.

(OH MY GOG HOW ARE MILKSHAKES SO DELICIOUS

Huh. A catgirl. Cy's never seen one here before, which surprises him for some reason.

But she has a milkshake. That's always worthy of comment.

"Hey."

[nepetaleijon]

"... hi!"

He doesn't quite look like a grownup, but he's still one of the biggest humans she's ever seen.

And he has ROBOT PARTS.

[says_the_booyah]

"What kind of milkshake is that?" Something about her is vaguely familiar, but Cy isn't sure what.

[nepetaleijon]

"Chocolate mint," she says happily. "We don't have milkshakes where I come from! I'm trying to taste one of efury kind there is."

[says_the_booyah]

"That is a worthy goal. But there's got to be like 500 flavors of milkshakes. It's gonna take a long time to do that." Even he wouldn't try that himself.

[nepetaleijon]

"Five hundred?"

Surprise rapidly turns to calculation. "So if I had one diffurent milkshake a day fur about ..."

[says_the_booyah]

"It would take like a year and a half. But you would probably get sick of it. And what if you found a flavor you really liked?" And he supposes it would be unhealthy, too.

[nepetaleijon]

"Oh, there are already a lot of flavors I really like."

[says_the_booyah]

"Like what?" He pulls over a chair. And orders a strawberry vanilla milkshake from a nearby waitrat.

[nepetaleijon]

"Anything chocolate! And mint, and meowcha, and purrnut butter fudge, and vanilla toff33, and ..."

She peers at his milkshake, when it arrives.

[says_the_booyah]

"Wow, you really are a cat, aren't you?" He almost expect a cute lolcat caption to pop up over her head.

[nepetaleijon]

(He should have seen her in the Land Of Little Cubes And Tea, then.)

She giggles. "Only when I'm roleplaying. In real life I'm a troll."

[says_the_booyah]

"A troll? Like the ones who eat halflings and goats?" She's too small for that. And too cute.

[nepetaleijon]

"Goats? Like seagoats? I nefur ate one, but I don't live that close to the ocean."

Beat.

"...I mean I didn't."

[says_the_booyah]

Confused Cy is confused.

"You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?"

[nepetaleijon]

She shakes her head.

"But it looks like it's mewtual."
