"You are! You... tu es...valiente. Y... fiel..."

"y... bonito!"

BLUSH

"Grac... thank you. "

"De nada!"

He rolls over but catches the tux so that it doesn't fall over, and then begins to pet him, "You must be muy careful you silly kitten. You must look where you are going. "

"You must be the guardian of the kittens."

"Not just them. I must protect you, Condessa."

"Guardián de los gatitos"

"y Salma y Ariel" he adds

"But if anything happens, to any of us - to me, or Salma, or Ariel, you will make sure the kittens are safe and have a home - si?"

"Si, Condessa. I shall protect the gatitos"

"Wonderful! Muy bien!" She leans over to kiss him on the forehead. "Gracias."

He blushes brightly

"Now see, Salma? The kittens will be safe. Holger will make sure."

Calico has vanished

“Uh oh.”

“La calicó?”

"Callie!" Time to look!

And Salma will surely help!

In the halway, they find the little Calico ready to fight Azul. She dances about the confused guy putting on her war face.

Azul wags

"Callie, you mustn't fight Azul."

fearsome out of west side story kind of kitten strut...

Azul's back paw appears to be on a toy... unwittingly, but the kitten cannot get to it.

Well, she'll just have to teach too tall goofy dog a lesson.

Azul sniffs, and gets bopped on the nose! TAKE THAT

Azul backs up, and he then puts a front paw on the kitten and pins her. Just in place.

And suddenly the sassiest kitten faces a problem.

"You see?"

She's got this. Left. Right. Forward. Reverse!

And.. nowhere.

Azul wags then looks at Ellie

"You DID catch her, yes!" Pat the puppy.

And rescue the kitten.

Calico is released, and imediately walks it off. what just happened did not happen. It shall not be spoken of again. She cleans herself like mama has taught her.

Grey, meanwhile, has climbed into Salma's lap.

purrpurrpurr

A sniff, and she retrieves a book she had been looking at earlier. "Traitorous burrito." Hiding a smile behind the pages.

Ariel comes in "Hi. Does anyone know how to remove an arrow from the side of a throne? Asking for a friend" Her eyes are wide.

"I would guess by pulling on it real hard."

"Look, see, Burrito has found his favorite place."

Ariel looks down and does smile at that "So, Salma... are you Buritto's favorite?" a coaxing

"Tie a ribbon on it and call it a decoration? Then is it supposed to be there."

"He just thinks I will like him because he is a lazy donkey." Tickling the back of the little grey ears.

Burrito pushes his head against the fingers. Pets, yes!

"Well, who better?"

"Who better than another lazy donkey?" She responds, but covers a giggle.

"A bow.. yes" She races off

"Bonita burra."
