His mane was still damp from the ridiculous human cleaning ritual, something that Scar found rather dissatisfying. At the very least he had been able to leave the showers quickly, so the change in tactic had at least worked for now.

Needless to say, a confused look had crossed Bella's face at the man's words, followed by a sheepish smile. "I don't think you did anything wrong."

The small kitten had curled into a ball on her lap and appeared to be napping. Smiling down at it for a moment, she looked back up and smiled. "I'm Bella, by the way. I don't remember if I introduced myself or not."
