2nd Floor Common Room -- Monday Early Evening

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata had figured that even if Warren was more than pleasant about dealing with Yei, that it was only good manners to remove herself (and her cat) from the room at intervals just so he could spend longer than kitten could nap without Yei attempting to stalk and play with his feathers.

Yei was a bit sulky about this move it had to be admitted. She liked the feathers.

At least, until Hinata rolled a brightly coloured ball with bells in it across the floor of the common room and all thoughts of feathers disappeared from Yei’s head as things quickly reoriented themselves, in Yei's view of the world, to ‘Omigod it's moving--moving. My ball! After it! Miiine! HI BALL!’. And a fuzzy white kitten went stampeding after the ball as if it were the best thing ever.

For her part, Hinata contented herself with a book and keeping an eye on Yei.

[Ooopen as common rooms are, yes!]

"I bet someone on this island can," Elena mused. "But I don't think you need to. I mean, if she's happy and cuddly and so on ... then you have to guess you're doing something right, right?"

There was only one answer to that: Rookie was going to FLOP onto her back! And wave her paws in the air! And ... and wave them! Look! The waving!

Waving! Oooo, waving! No way could she resist that! Down she went in a butt-wiggling crouch before pouncing at the paws. Paws! Must be subdued! Or licked and nudged and sniffed at. That worked too.

Clearly subdued had a fairly wide definition when you were a kitten.

"Th-That's been my theory," she laughed softly. "And so far it seems to be working. She's been with me for a little while now--have you had Rookie long?"
