Things to remember for the future: a cat in Adelaide's lap means he's less likely to get playfully smacked. It might even be something to use against her when he thinks he might soon run risk of hitting. Another thing to remember? How good it sounds to hear her say 'Anders' like that.

"And most of the night. Your poor cat may be due a talk about boundaries." Speaking of boundaries, Anders opens his largest belt pouch to peek inside and see if its occupant was still cozy or wanted out. As soon as his finger's claimed he smiles and sets down his cup so he can bring Purrelden up and onto the table. "This one doesn't have any. But that's all right. Would you like to meet Remi? The cat that will be Adelaide's in, oh, I'll give it two weeks?"
