Of course. Any excuse to go dancing with my beloved.

[That's more than enough of a gift to him, but he won't say no to another thing.]

[sangreine]

Good. No taking it back after I give you your present. [ He might want to stay in and snuggle the kitten all day... and she'd let him. But eventually he's making good on that offer! ]

Come with me, your gift is a little hard to wrap.

[ Saya will take his hand and lead him to... the Pokémon playroom? She hangs back in the doorway and encourages him to go inside. ]

[ Something unseen bounds through one of the tubes and then sticks its head out to peek at the visitors: a tiny black kitten. ]

[happydreamed]

[!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kantera takes a few steps closer and kneels down to get a better look at the itty bitty kitten.]

Truly?

[sangreine]

For really real. She's still getting used to me, but she's brave and young, she'll acclimate. She can tolerate me being in the room as long as I don't get too close.

MK helped me find her, so do thank him when you can. [ No way could she go look at cats without scaring them into a fit. ]

She didn't come with a name, so go in and meet her. I'll stay back so she's not frightened.

[happydreamed]

You are far, far too kind to me, my dear. Thank you so much.

[He offers his hand for the kitten to sniff.]

Hello there, little one.

[sangreine]

You're welcome, love. I want us to build a happy life, and I want you to have company when I'm off on quests or elsewhere.

[ And it looks increasingly like if Venti does return, he won't know them. Being gone longer tends to do that. So it's safe to have a kitty in the house. ]

I'm not quite sure what she and the rabbits will make of each other, but that's another reason I got a very little one.

[ The tiny kitten will take a few hesitant, wide-eyed steps before bounding over to Kantera and sniffing his fingertips. Then gently nibbling on one. Seems he is approved. ]

[happydreamed]

[It is a bit sad to think that he's only getting this present because Venti has left, but that's not something that's in their control. They can only work with what they have.]

She truly is tiny. What should I name her, I wonder... Something related to my stars and moon, perhaps?

[sangreine]

[ Sad indeed. Saya hasn't quite been the same since he left. But at least something good should come of it. ]

[ Seeing her dear husband get something he's been wanting does her good, actually. ]

Night Sky is already taken, alas.

[happydreamed]

A fine name, but not one that would remind me of you.

[If he named his cat after Night Sky, people would get the wrong idea.]

Starlight doesn't seem to fit a black cat... Eclipse, perhaps?

[sangreine]

I like Eclipse, it's sweet.

[ Saya hates that she has to hang back, but she does it. The kitty will get used to her eventually. For now she just watches. ]

[happydreamed]

[Someday she will get all the affection from kitty! Alas, that day is not today.]

[He gives Eclipse a scritch.] What do you think of it? Should we call you Eclipse?

[The kitten purrs loudly.]

That sounds a resounding yes to me.
