wheel; the seventh

[entailing]

[this fine morning sees Sayaka in the gardens, crouched in the shade of a humongous tree and occupying herself with...

...feeding some clumps of fuzz which, on closer inspection, will be revealed as kittens. (There might be a gag here waiting to be made, but it will be omitted from this narrative for now.)

Time goes by...have a dictated question,

[She is not a crazy cat lady. :| Maybe someday, but for now --]

What kind of pets?

[entailing]

[a future crazy cat lady...is fine too]

Kittens. There hasn't been any mention of folks who've lost theirs, so they're probably strays.

[tunafanatic]

If they haven't all been taken, I'd like one.

[-- it's not like she has anything else to do, with no classes here.]

[entailing]

Yeah, they haven't. Want to take a look first?

[walkinthruwalls]

There are actual animals here? [ She knew about the Pokemon and the losses but... real animals? ]

[entailing]

Why do you sound so surprised? [there are talking ponies and stuff -- no, wait, that's not very normal either]

[sunnyheiress]

[She doesn't quite know the first thing about pets, but she's been so wanting to find out.]

Ah, just what kind are they?

dictated;

[entailing]

Kittens. [as if on cue, there's a squeaky sort of meow from one] How 'bout it?

dictated;

[sunnyheiress]

[A-aww..]

They aren't too hard to care for, are they?

dictated;

[entailing]

As hard as it would be for any animal, I guess. All I've done is give them canned food. [/not useful]

[timeresets]

Pets? What kind, Miki-san?

[entailing]

Cats, the small type. [just say "kittens," Sayaka] Old enough to eat solid food, though.

[timeresets]

Ah... small cats? [Oh, she gets it now. Hm...] Um... do any of them still need a home?

[entailing]

You want one...? [that's sorta surprising...but one of the kittens does look a bit like Amy :')]

[tomatoandbasil]

[Awww, so you are a sweetie after all. She knew it. Time for your favoritest person ever to check in.]

The nurturing type, huh?

[entailing]

[nooo why D:]

Don't you think it's a few decades too early for that?

[tomatoandbasil]

[Because she has to mentor brats it's in her contract]

Never too early to see someone's potential. You can glean a lot from small actions like this.

[entailing]

[why does it feel like she's heard something like that before...?

Either way, Sayaka's concluded long ago that any attempt at arguing this is about as silly and futile as discussing nuclear physics with an amoeba. So she doesn't]

Way to make a girl feel old... [le sigh. at this rate, the kittens will have to take pity on her too]
