[Nope! It came in a nice baggy and you added water to give it 'gravy.' It was positively disgusting to humans. Definitely not something to think about too deeply.]
Nope. Winfield's been living in my home since November, actually. He's very intelligent and well behaved. I used to be more scared about Susan, but she's sweet... lazy, but sweet.
So that you know and aren't scared, Susan is a green chicken. She has a gem in her forehead. She can understand anything you tell her. Probably as smart as you or I, possibly more.
[If they're not cats, they're problems in her eyes. But she would vastly prefer a green chicken over the weird dog.
She slowly moves into the home, cautiously looking at her surroundings and ensuring there aren't any other animals about. Just in case, she slips a hand into the sash around her waist and pulls out-
[She blinked when the rock was thrown. It collided with a wall and clattered tot he ground even as she closed the door behind, but didn't lock it. Her head cocked and she coughed once.]
I'm going to leave the door unlocked. All you have to do to leave is turn this knob anytime and you can go... but uh...
I see... you don't need to worry about ghosts. They're warded here by something that Sodder gave me. None can enter.
[Giggle. She was more amused than anything. Sitting down by the kitchen nook, she motioned in front of her and sighed. No promises about dogs. Winfield was harmless outside of licking, but he wasn't going to scare from rocks.]
[She looked at... whatever that was, and her look turned motherly for a moment. She motioned to one of the stools and started to go towards the fridge, intent on making a sandwich and some chips.]
I always store up. Enough for more than one in case someone needs to stay over... and I'd been planning to ask Chara to move in with me at some point. Had I known you two were together, I would have offered you both. So don't worry. I prepare for this...
I'm making you lunch and you can take something home to store, ok?
[Nope, she was feeding the little gremline today.]
[That? Was a pretty fully stocked fridge right there. Vira-Lorr didn't have it packed to the gills, but there was a lot of foodstuffs of every variety in it, the sort that you would us at a pretty quick pace to keep from going bad, along with a collection of things that would last for a while in the chill to cook with. She was pretty sensible about her choices.]
Mmm? Oh, I don't mind if you share. [She figured she probably would by now.] And sharing with the cats... is a good thing I think. They're sweet.
[They are sweet and she's thrilled that Vira sees the kitty benefit of her actions. It makes her smile as she trails beside her, watching whatever she does.]
They are. The ones here are very different from my other friends, but they're still good.
Oh, the ones here? They're ... very special kittens. They're good for anyone who needs to be protected. Did you know that Sodder made them?
[Oddly? She felt pretty confident that this was a story she could share with Ren. It told why they were special after all, so big, smokey and powerful.]
I think that she not only likes cats, but she trusts them to do a policeman's job better than one can. It's why she gave them all that power. They're quite good at protecting you.
[And there's a brief pause, as she really thinks about this girl. The one that concocted this whole place, that created these ethereal cats from nothing and-]
She's ... I think she's being kept in a very secure location. I don't think that she likes it there at all, but we can't be sure where it is, and we can't get there yet.
[None of that technically a lie, but she was leaving out the worst of her suspicions.]

A rock that she throws towards the living room.]

...
Why did you just throw that rock?
no subject
[Look, better safe than dead and sorry. That's her motto, but she glances back at the door to see what Vira's talking about and-
That's good. It's better than being stuck somewhere with no escape. All she has to do is look behind her to get out, so-]

Did you want anything to eat perhaps?
no subject
But she does move to collect the stone from across the room, cautiously eyeing the decor and other parts of this home.
And at the mention of food-
Well, Vira seems to have enough. She's always shared with her, but Ren digs into her sash to pull out-
Well, something. Something not great. It's got a look about it. Who knows what it used to be.]
I have food. It's okay. You need to save it so you won't run out.

She even drifts closer, like she's going to help. Not that she will. Who knows what her plan is at this point-she just wants to see what's inside.]
Okay. I won't let the animals get it, unless the cats say they're hungry. I'll only share with them.

[She must in some way and that's something she'll remember. Anyone who understands the importance of cats isn't bad-not at all.]
no subject
[You know... as long as they saw you in trouble.]
no subject
[Like, there's no doubt about it. Of course cats do a better job than people.]

[Mostly because she didn't think Ren was the type to actually break the laws that they'd punish her over.]

Why doesn't Sodder live here too?
