(A log between Elsa, Artur Narul, and Cat's Eye 11/05/09 & 11/08/09)
Many forms moved about the marketplace at any given hour, beasts and humans alike. A well suited ogre with cleanly shaven features, a wizzened old hag bearing the beard of a wizard, small fae creatures haggling in some musical tongue; all odds and ends from the magical to the mundane. Whom would notice the curl and slink of a patchwork cat skittering around impatient feet and formidable strides? Careful yet fearless the calico prowled, green eyes bright with what, if one looked close enough might think was a too-keen inteligence.
::Out and about the better part of the day she was starting to wind down. Sitting on the edge of the fountain she fended off the cold with a few rubs to her arms. The market, like normal, was delightfully crowded with coming and goings. Childrens and parents, creatures and merchants. Ever lively was it. Even still not many seemed to match up against the multi-colored haired woman.::
Tepid pads picked a spry path along the market's cobbled streets, uncaring of the cold due to the brisque pace of her feline heart and the pelt of quilted fur she bore. Almond eyes alighted upon the prism spun figure of Elsa, and with a quiet mewl, the cat pranced over to brush against her skirted ankles. The purring was almost an instant thing.
The sensation of fur against her bare ankle nearly sent the servant girl sky high. Bright blues quickly shot down and she cooed out.:: Ooo! How adorable are you? ::Reaching down her hand was offered to the feline to scent. Briefly actually as she just needed to give a playful tickle behind the tiny creature's ear.:: Shouldn't you be curled up in some warm spot little one?
Another mewl from the furry creature was followed by a cant of it's head as Elsa's fingers ticked along behind her ears. Contented, that slinking tail curled to wrap loosely around the servant woman's calve. All too inteligent eyes stared passively up through slits as if offering a silent answer to the woman's question; shouldn't you be doing the same?
::She giggled at the tickling sensation and reached carefully to the small creature's side to lift it to her lap, if it would allow of course. Her touch was gentle though firm so that if the feline rathered she wouldn't pick it up. Briefly she would glance up with hope in her blue gaze. Not finding what or whom she was looking for her attention focused back on the cat. Fur was scratched from neck to tail, making sure to hit most of a normal feline's 'spots'.::
The cat came willingly enough, and that vibration in the back of it's fuzzy throat only grew as her bottom found a home in the maiden's warm lap. Now sharing heat, the cat began to sprawl, legs stretching away from one another in a split shrimp kind of motion to arch and curl into those kindly fingers. The calico was acting as any well loved, domesticated animal might, yet she lacked the collar. Wild imaginations might think the cat a fae guardian come to keep the servant company as she waited for the Master of her house, for the cat, like the moth, was a mundane creature whom had seemed to appear from nowhere.
::She swallowed on a laugh so not to disturb the cat who seemed to find her lap rightly comfortable. She could not help but be amused and yet marveled at the beautiful coat of the creature. If she could she would attempt to keep the precious thing but she dared not ask such a gift. She was lucky to have a home and what was given to her. As sad as it seemed, the cheerful one's past was dark and blood filled.::
