Just now, two men walked into the staff corridor, one in black, one in white

There were easier fish-snacks to get than the Curious Squid and the trilobites, and not too far off at that.

Lehi, usually called Ana, had, apparently, succeeded in catching a few fish from the ice-cold lake. Just at the moment he was settled at one of the small tables near the tank to clean them.

[ostro_goth]

Those were of course riveting.

The delightful smell!

The black cat sits by the table, sucks in the incredible scent with slightly open mouth, and ponders hopping up there.

[_estsanatlehi_]

He tilted his head, just slightly, not-quite watching the cat over the edge of the table while he worked.

There was a small smile, and then splat a small, somewhat sticky, lump of fish innards hit the floor.

[ostro_goth]

Normally, he would never eat that, or indeed beg in this manner -- but now, the black cat that isn't one gobbles up the small gift before the human mind inside even registers what happened.

'Mraowww?'

[young_womble]

"I-I say, you'll be in awful trouble if you eat those." A soft voice says from under a nearby table.

[ostro_goth]

The cat just looks at the small creature.

Oh, the womble! To a little womble, a cat would seem much larger and more dangerous than anybody else, so speaking to it that way took some courage.

[young_womble]

Wellington pushes his glasses up his nose slightly.

"Yes, not for eating. I'll find you some food, okay?"

The cat comes about two thirds of the way up his body, but he has faith in his claws if he needs them.

[ostro_goth]

The cat jumps off the chest and approaches the little womble, trying to look harmless.

He is not dangerous, as his mind is still a man's, even though his instincts, cravings and actions are a cat's.

[eirenikos]

There is a goddess curled up in one of the recliners, still armed with the stylus and tablet Teja loaned her just after the singing curse struck her own vocal chords. She is staring into the fire and looking extremely distractable.

[ostro_goth]

The cat jumps up onto the sofa with her and looks at her.

This is one person he might tell who he is.-

[eirenikos]

Eirene is somewhat absent-minded, or she might have caught a strong sense of unfamiliar magic emanating from the feline. As it is, she's tired of having to write out conversations for fear of breaking into a Beatles song, though that wouldn't be all that bad.

She'll just reach over to scritch under the cat's jaw, because cats make everything better.

[ostro_goth]

The cat walks over the squishy sofa, balancing with his tail held high, in a little question mark gesture.

Cats are allowed much latitude; so he lies down with his back against her leg and looks up at her, with a little 'mrr?' as he does so.

[mogget_cat]

Oh no, Teja! You're under attack! Something has hold of your tail!

[ostro_goth]

The black cat turns - and cannot!

He tried to roll up, his flexible spine turning far enough so his paws can bat at the white cat.

[mogget_cat]

The white cat steps back from the batting, letting go of the tail as he backs up. Quickly, he feints to the left then pounces!

[ostro_goth]

The black cat bunches up and tackles the white cat as he lands.

This would not be a matter for security yet.
