Peter's School

[mellowout_]

Louis is setting a preliminary exam for his new ecology class. Just information gathering to see what they know and learn of their experiences. He'd done his best to set them at ease, but there were still a few frantic revisers and pencil-chewers. He settles down at his desk for a quiet cup of tea.

Peter slips in in cat form, padding daintily past the desks. One girl smiles and leans down to pet him and she gets an affectionate nuzzle that makes her giggle. She looks up at Louis carefully before raising her other hand.

"Mister Louis, sir? Is, um...is he yours?"

[mellowout_]

Louis beams, and drops a hand low to wriggle his fingers and call the cat to him.

"Yes. He is mine. Beautiful, is he not?"

[never_been_laid]

She nods and looks down at her paper. She actually knows most of this stuff, so she feels no pressure not to pick him up, snuggling him as she brings him up to Mister Louis.

"He's lovely. Very long tail, though. What kind of cat is he?"

[mellowout_]

He takes the cat and holds and strokes him as if he were the most precious being in all creation.

"He is an Andean Mountain Cat. I found him during my travels last year."

...these things are both true.
