[ SIIIIIIGH, she can't put this off much longer. Because Polka really really hopes the answer to her question is "no". There's a bit of aheming before she manages to actually say something, debating how to phrase her question. Finally, she settles on. Um... ha.. has anyone out there lost their New Feather cat? I'm looking after her

[Polka will be greeted at the job when she comes back with a happy 'merk!' and a gentle rubbing of her legs. Foot will then trot after her, only to sit on Polka's feet when next she stops moving. You have greetings, Polka.]

[ But cats don't talk.. ]

[floral_powder]

[ Although it would be really awesome if they did. ]

.. is this a trick...?

[the_mighty_foot]

[Have another affectionate bunt]

No. I speak.

[floral_powder]

[ Resuming kittypettings! Just a bit weirded out, but hey, she's open-minded. ]

You ... but... [ How. What. What? ] That's really amazing Foot - I've never talked with another -- well I have but they've never talked back. Am.. I the only one who can hear you?

[the_mighty_foot]

[Foot will enjoy the pettings. Purrrrrrrrr]

Right now, only you. Have to make effort.

[floral_powder]

[ And scritching for a few minutes more, until she remembers she was supposed to be preparing food for Frederic. Oops. ]
Oh!

I didn't know it took a lot of effort to talk. You don't have to, you know. [ Don't be offended, but she's going to wash her hands now. She doesn't think Frederic will like cat fur in his stew. ]

[the_mighty_foot]

[Nothing to be offended over; this human likes to stay clean. It's an admirable trait!]

Have to...become even with the one to talk to. Not usually easy, except with Guardian. But...you are kind. You're giving me a home. It is only fair.

[floral_powder]

[ Awww. Polka dries her hands. Anyone else would probably find it weird - especially if they observed it from an outside point of view. But Polka thinks it's great! ]

I'm honored that you would talk with me, then, Foot. Thank you.

[the_mighty_foot]

[Your hands are safe, Polka, but she's going to rub up against your legs now. You don't cook with those, after all...]

I am happy to talk with you.

[She pauses, watching as Polka goes about the kitchen]

You are...cooking now?

[floral_powder]

[ Mind you don't trip her - but she's not moving much so she glances down and giggles at the rubbing against her legs. Aww. ]

I'm glad. [ And then she nods at the question. ] Yes, Frederic - he's one of my friends. He's been feeling unwell lately, so I thought I'd make him something to eat. [ But then he hasn't been eating properly or sleeping right - Polka has to step up her fretting clearly. ]

[the_mighty_foot]

Is he ill?

[Foot will look around the kitchen for a bit. She wants to get to a high place so she can watch, but so far, there's only 'no' places. This makes her wilt a little bit; there's no special 'watch table' for her like there is back home. What to do?]

[floral_powder]

Not like he was before, when he came to my world. [ Polka smiles absently, not noticing the look on the cat's face. ] He's just not taking care of himself properly.

[ A pause, and she takes notice of the cat then. Hrm. Well, honestly, she didn't mind if the fluffball watched, as long as she was careful. But while the oven and counter was in the center of the room near the table, there was a spot on the counter near the stove that Foot could sit on. ]

You want to watch? [ She moves over to the other counter - it was about..a foot to the left of the stove, and nothing was resting there so it was safe enough. So she pats a hand on the counter. ] You can sit up here.

[the_mighty_foot]

Thank you.

[Foot jumps lightly up onto the offered spot, settling in primly]

What will you make him?

[floral_powder]

He needs something that will sit heavier in his stomach and be more filling, so I'm making a beef stew. [ She points at various objects. ] With vegetables of course. He needs to keep his strength up, so while the meat is cooking, I'll add potatoes, corn and carrot slices too. [ There should be plenty to go around afterwards. ]

[the_mighty_foot]

So he does not eat well... [She takes a thoughtful bath for a few moments]

...is he sad?
