[ The starfish is picking up a very talkative critter today. Not Sophie though - but the video is showing the girl lying flat on her back and perfectly still, her eyes closed. The talkative critter on the other hand, is a silver tabby kitten, currently standing on Sophie's stomach, and yowling. Non. Stop.

After several minutes of this, Sophie's eyes open and she sits up, the kitten tumbling off of her chest, only to be caught by her hands. The kitten shakes itself, staring at Sophie. Sophie stares back.

The kitten resumes yowling, louder than before. ]

... you're loud.

[ Observant, isn't she? But she continues watching the kitten, with the usual lack of expression, until she notices the recording from the starfish. ]

I found a little cat. It won't stop crying. I think it's hurt, but I don't see where.

[ No Sophie, not hurt, just hungry. Poor bitty needs to eat! ]

[Aw kitten. Rin does have a soft spot for kids and animals, and thankfully it doesn't have to be a demon cat for him to know what the yowling is about.]

It ain't hurt, it's hungry.

Video

[lucentpalisade]

Hungry?

[ Sophie looks at the kitten, who is now sitting on her left leg, yelling its little head off. Only not literally. ]

What do they eat?

Video

[keepsthefire]

[Rin actually smiles a bit at that. From the sounds of it the little one is going to eat like a garbage disposal]

Well, they like fish and other meats, but he might be too young for that. He's... pretty small. I can help you find some kitten food maybe?

[ Sophie carefully puts a hand to the kitten's head, and the mewling stops briefly, then picks up again. Hungrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy~! ]

... Fish? [ Hey, Ryu was teaching her how to do that just the other day! Awesome! Oh but he's too young. Wait what? ]

He eats kittens? [ ...b...but that's his own kind! D: ]

Video

[keepsthefire]

Huh? No! It's food for kittens!

Video

[lucentpalisade]

[ But you said KITTEN food! Which...some how parsed to kittens are in the food. ]

Oh - okay. WHere do we find little cat food?

[Having the soft spot for children and animals that he does, Dhaos can't help but answer. Children of all sorts are fairly easy to read in certain matters after all. And it helps that he speaks the language]

She's uninjured. She simply wishes for food.

[video]

[lucentpalisade]

She's very loud. I don't think she's eaten for a long time.

[video]

[fistfullofmagic]

That is...troubling.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Can you give me your current location? I believe I have something to remedy the situation.

[Meeting with a complete stranger is generally not something Dhaos does. In this case though, he will brave social interaction for the sake of a possibly starving kitten. He knows the painful feeling far too well to willingly allow anyone else suffer the same.]

[ The mewling kitten is currently doing its best to climb Mt. Sophie, which Sophie seems kind of amused by. ]

Someone is coming to show me where to get food for him. We're in the plaza now.

[ Which is good for future, but in the immediate sense.. ]

Do you have food already?

[ video ]

[martelapproves]

It's not hurt.

[ video ]

[lucentpalisade]

It's crying like it's hurt.

[ video ]

[martelapproves]

Look at him. Does he look hurt?

It's more likely he's sick or hungry or something, I dunno.

[ video ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ She's silent for a moment, checking the complaining kitten for injury. ]

He doesn't look hurt. [ D'aww, the kitty is randomly distracted by a bug. ]

I don't think he's sick either. [ The itty bitty is still pretty alert and energetic. ]

He must be hungry.

[ video ]

[martelapproves]

That wasn't too hard to figure out.

[ Blink, blink. ]

There's been a lot of kittens around lately...

[howamanlives]

Hey, she's a cute little guy! You'd better get her some food, like everyone said!

[lucentpalisade]

Uh-huh - Someone is going to help me get food for her. I don't know what littlecats eat, besides fish.

[howamanlives]

They eat catfood, of course! Or mice.

[lucentpalisade]

Mice? Are there mice here?

[howamanlives]

I have no idea...

... Fish! They eat fish! They gotta have fish here!

[topsseifer]

Have you try checking the paws? Maybe it stepped on something. [Doesn't have pets so he doesn't realize it's hungry.] Too bad the coral only works on us and not the animals here. Do you know anyone who can check him out?

video

[lucentpalisade]

The paws? [ She hadn't thought of that, so she turns the cat over carefully. Not really sure what she's looking for beyond bleeding, which there are none of, thankfully. ]

No, the paws seem okay. Someone is coming though - they think the littlecat might be hungry.

video

[topsseifer]

Oh. Well that's a relief. You can give the little cat some milk. Are you going to keep him?

video

[lucentpalisade]

I don't know. [ The question actually surprises her. But the animal is pretty warm and fluffy. ]

I've never had a littlecat before.

[ Odds are she will be taking the tyke home with her though. ]

video

[topsseifer]

I say keep it. Definitely. Man, I wasn't allowed pets aside from fish when I was growing up. Bet they have plenty of books on the subject. Gotta think of a name though.

[Pausing as he thought about it.] Something that isn't Fluffy or FiFi. Think of something awesome!
