Ziyal finally arrives in Trekbbsville and looks around in amazement. It feels like years -- or just a few days ago -- since she was last here. She's looking forward to seeing some of her old friends and neighbors, but before seeking them out, she heads directly to the Crazy Cat Lady's house. As she approaches the front door, a huge cat comes running from around back, stops abruptly in front of her and rubs against her enthusiastically, yet w/o knocking her over.
"Leo!! Gooood kitty!"
"Meoooooooow."
"Where's this kitten of yours I'm supposed to meet?"
Leo tilts his head towards the side of the house he'd come around, and Ziyal sees a mini-Leo peeking around the corner. Not quite a mini-Leo, though. The kitten is mostly sandy like his sire, but has lots of bold white stripes (or is it sandy stripes on white?). "Kitten" and "mini" are relative terms, of course. He looks like he's at least a hundred pounds already!
Ziyal and Dodger look at each other a moment, and he approaches calmly. Rubs against her a bit and starts to purr.
"So, little one, do we have the same connection Leo and I do?"
"Meow!"
Ziyal stretches out her arms, and Dodger gently jumps into them and resumes purring. Ziyal sighs w/ contentment. This is definitely the right kitty.
"So how do you feel about dogs?"
"Meow?"
"Dogs. Could you stand sharing a home w/ a Klingon Shepherd Dog?"
"Meow"
"You sure you're going to be nice to him?
"Meow" Louder purr.
Unfortunately, the Crazy Cat Lady doesn't appear to be home, so Ziyal heads out to look for her, Dodger walking beside her and Leo following, perhaps a bit protectively. Ziyal wonders where she's going to find the CCL and her other friends...
