"He..." She squints, grasping and failing to hold a flicker of mist-shrouded memory.

The troll tilts her own head curiously

"Yeah? I'm sorry I'm not into dogs that much."

"How are the muppet ones doing?"

"Muppet is fine, so is Ticker and so on... and hey, no need to apologize if you aenn'tt into dogs. Clearly I must pity your lack of Dog appreciation from a far and shake my head tut tuttinng" a grin "But seriously, Muppet likes you even if you aren't a dog person"

"Well, Muppet is a sucker." But she smiles.

"A loveable knobhead" She agrees with the same smile

"Like Arty, really."

"Oh man, " She sighs "You had to put it that way. "

"What?"

"Just... dogs are sweet, and innocent and cute"

"NOw you're pointing that in his own way, Arty is too and I need to be understanding"

"I mean, he is?"

"I don't think he's got a lot of common sense. He doesn't know how everything works, for sure."

"But he wants to" A nod "Really he reminds me more of a cat than a dog. Curious, prying, ignores direction... but he's also got a good heart at times"

"I like cats."

'mm nope still prefer dogs"

"I like dogs okay, too."

"But we might be able to have a cat, maybe, in the apartment..."

"Oh, yeah...maybe. Do they allow cats?"

"I think there's pet rent." Huff.

"Oh." A pondering "Maybe the Baroness would help you?"

"I don't think mom would go for it. It's fine. Lots of animals to see here."

"Well... we might be able to get a cat here. Dogs might fuss but they'd mind. Migght keep mice out of the kitchen?"

"Course we have terrierrs for that"

"Art might enjoy having a cat..."

"You both could SHARE The cat, maybe" A point made

"Cats have a way of picking their own people."

"Plus, I have the ninnies."

"Mmm that's true. Besides, you might be stuck with Muppet.. he might not LIKE sharing you with a cat"

Snort!

"But maybe one cat isn't a bad idea, see who the cat likes. Maybe the cat would like you, maybe art... heck, maybe Blubell though it might make her nnervous"

"Or maybe the cat will be a sneaky pooka."

"Oh.. " A blink" Well we do have ONE Cat. I almost forgot. Not us but... Linae has a cat. It's from the Chieftain Hewitt. He rescued it"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, some jerks were going to drown it in a BAG" a scoff "I don't care if you like cats are not, that shit is evil"

"Yeah! What kind of sick (*^^%() does that? Did you kick their ass?"

"Wish I had... but I wasn't part of the cat rescue"

"I hope Hewitt did, then."

"He's a good man I think. " A firm nod "He BETTER be. He breaks Thane Linae's heart, Chief or no Chief, he annd I will talk"

She scoops a Never out from the second-best pot. "No, even you don't go into a bag."

"Where do they call come from?"

"I dunno? They just show up. They don't go into the school much..."

"MMm" She ponders "Well, they like you even if they don't always... stop trying to stick into the pot she's workin on, Frosty face"

The icey blue Never sticks a tongue out at the troll

"They're kind of fun." She admits.

"Mmm they do not respect my auhoratay.." But she does it in a Southpark way

"They don't respect any authority."

"I suppose there is that" She admits

She adjusts the Best Pot - hard to tell what is happening, with muddy colored paint seeming to be various shades of beige.
