To Min, it had only been a day since Tails had sent the map to her over the journals. She'd gotten sidetracked, and figured that one more day wouldn't hurt -- especially if he was keeping a cat for her.

She hadn't wanted to wait more than a day, though. Given the strange things that were happening with time, who knew how long it had been for Tails?

What sort of name was 'Tails,' anyway?

She arrived at the door and knocked.

It only took a moment for Tails to answer the door, since he'd only been reading. He gently nudged a curious kitten away from the door with one tail. "Hello?"

He didn't recognize her, so he waited for her to introduce herself.

"Um."

She really hadn't meant for that to come out. She'd seen a couple of strange creatures going around Jhelbor, but she hadn't known they could speak.

She shook herself out of it. Worldwalkers. What could you do.

"I'm Min." She smiled through the awkward feeling. "Hope the kittens haven't turned into cats yet."

"It's nice to meet you Min, I'm Tails," Tails responded unneccesarily. Her reaction was better than he expected at least. He picked up the kitten that was trying to slip past him and opened the door wider in invitation. "Not yet, but they're getting there. Would you like to come in and see them?" She seemed okay so far so he felt comfortable inviting her inside

For Tails, a few hours later

Bret was doing his best to walk places quickly, lately. He didn't want to miss anybody, and even if it didn't make any difference at all, it was better than not trying. Jemaine probably wasn't as likely to get worried as he was, but if it were him waiting at home and Jemaine came back two weeks later than he was supposed to, well, he'd be freaking out.

So, when he passed Tails' house, he was essentially speedwalking.

By odd coincidence, Tails was on his way out the door to see Bret...and there he was. That was a huge stroke of luck so he smiled and waved. "Bret, hi," he greeted cheerfully.

Cradled in his other arm was the kitten he'd picked out for Bret.

Bret nearly tripped thanks to the sudden instinctual turn his head took at the sound of his name. Recovering from his stumble, he doubled back, waving a little as he went. "Hey." Spotting the kitten, he tried not to giggle at the thought of one fuzzy animal holding another. "Is that one of the kittens?"

[2tailedtagalong]

"Yeah, I was just coming to visit you actually," Tails answered with a slightly awkward grin. "Were you heading anywhere important?" It would be pretty bad to have stopped him, or not, depending on their luck.
