Shy
"Yes honey? I'm on my way to work..."
"Can you check for a stowaway?"
"A stowaway?"
"Yeah, we're short one Shy..."
"Mew!"
"Such a rascal! Yes Linni, call off the hunt, i have Shy as a stowaway, she was snuggled in my hood."
"How come you didn't notice the stowaway?"
"Because... " She took a deep, calming breath. "Because I expected a different stowaway, where's Jor-Jie?"
"She's with me, and quite agitated, I guess she expected you to take her to work?"
"Exactly, she's... working today."
"What, I thought she was a pet?"
"Jor-Jie is a pet, just like a guard dog is a pet. She has talents beyond just being cute and eating prodigious amounts of food..."
"If that was meant as a slight on the kits, it's in poor taste."
"No..." She sighed. "Sorry, I'm just very stressed, I don't want to wreck Jor-Jie's training, she's just started."
"Don't worry, I've got a ride to the palace already set up, she'll be with you soon."
"Have I told you I love you lately?"
"Lately? No, and that's such a shame too, I mean you're working, there's no way we'll be able to sneak into some secluded part of the palace for some snuggling, is there?"
"Unlikely, but I'll see what I can do, I promise. I love you."
"I can't believe they ate it all!" "I can, there's nine of them, after all."
"I can't believe they ate it all!" "I can, there's nine of them, after all."
