Uuu... Elk, was it? That boy I met the... the other day?

... U-um, may I speak with you for a moment? If you don't mind... There is something I would like to discuss with you.

[not_tsukasa]

Y-yes? What is it?

[waltzwaswhite]

A-ah, yes! There you are.

... I would like to ask something. How are you living at this moment?

[not_tsukasa]

Um...I used to have a roommate, but [quietly] h-he's gone now...

Is that what you were asking...?

[waltzwaswhite]

Correct. That, and where you were living at. [S-SHE'S KEEPING HERSELF EXPERTLY COMPOSED ATM]

[not_tsukasa]

W-4...3-8.

[waltzwaswhite]

[frowns] So, one of those apartments, is it?

You do realize we need not live there anymore.

[not_tsukasa]

Y-yeah, but...I don't have anyplace else to go, and Sora's gone now too...

[waltzwaswhite]

Well, then. What would you say to a comfortable little house on the outskirts of the city? I daresay my home has space enough for the both of us. Really, it is much better than those drab apartments. ♥

[not_tsukasa]

I...[hesitates]

...I...guess so. It isn't like Sora just went outside to cause trouble again, so um, I guess I don't need to guard the apartment...S-still...

...o-okay.

[waltzwaswhite]

I see. Then, here is the address. [handing it to you /o/]

Being under the same roof, however, there are a few things I would like you to know, specifically about myself, so as to avoid confusion on matters in the future. So please pay attention to what I am going to say next, okay?

[not_tsukasa]

U-um, okay, thank you.

...? Okay, I'll listen...

[waltzwaswhite]

Of course. ♥

Thank you. Hm... First of all, I'm not human at all. I am a demon familiar created by a magus by putting a human girl's soul into the body of a cat. As such, I can move between the two forms at a whim; so should you see a white cat around the house, that would be me.

Second of all, I usually have business to attend to come nightfall. Mostly, patrolling the city and keeping an eye out for rival familiars that may mean me harm. So do not worry if I am not at home when you go to sleep.

Finally, although I of course have an adequately stocked refridgerator, I also have a small collection of assorted cakes and teas. The tea you may help yourself to at any time, of course, but if it is not too much of a bother, I would appreciate it if you asked me before helping yourself to a cake.

Did you get all of that?

[not_tsukasa]

[listening Elk is listening! ...to the cat part anyway.] ...A...a cat? Y-you can turn into a cat, really? Wow...

Um, okay. I'll be sure to ask if I want any of the cake, then, and...I understand the going away at night thing. I guess it's really important, huh. [nod]

[waltzwaswhite]

Of course. Would you like a demonstration?

It is, very much so. Thank you for understanding.

[not_tsukasa]

Umm...If it isn't a big problem...

O-okay. You're welcome.

[waltzwaswhite]

Of course not. For me, doing such a thing is as easy as blinking would be for you.

[crouching down, and, VERY smoothly, turning into a small, white cat, with a brief white glow in between and a brief afterimage of her human form after; all of this taking practically a second or two; meows up at Elk]
