Holger is stunned? "The kitty is mine?" He says tyrying his English

"If you want him."

The kitten, whose life has been saved many times already pokes at an electrical outlight with his tongue. Holger takes him up and craddles him "Yo Quireo gatto"

She nods. "Tu tengo gato!"

He grins "Si, muy bien"

"Besides, you saved him."

"Um.. tu es salvador?"

"Necesita mucho ahorro." He nods

He hugs strokes the kitten thoughtfully "El necesita un nombre."

"Nombre.. name! Si!"

"Mio is Ramona."

He nods

"Hm. DONDE esta Ramona?"

He gestures. Turns out Ramona is nosing about a recliner trying to fit into that little crook

"Ramona!"

She scampers over to retrieve the troublesome tabby.

Holger holds up his own kitten "Afortunado.. the Lucky One"

"Good - bueno nombre!"

"Gracious" He beams

Ramona protests.. she is sure she can get this crack open and squeeze in.

She relocates the tabby to her shoulder. "You will be a good cat dad. Bueno gato papa."

"Ha." He blushes "Tu Gata mamacita?"

"Mamacita? I think Constance claimed her. Or she claimed Constance..."

Salma giggles, approaching down the hall. "No, he means TU es gata mamacita."

"OH!"

"I guess we all are, right?"

"Donquito has claimed the sun as su madre, he will not leave her embrace." A shake of her head. "¿Holger, tu gatito tiene nombre?

"Si," he pets the purring kitten "Afortunado" a pause "Lucky?" Making sure he got it right

"Si! Except, not "Afurtunado?" Reaching out to tickle the tuxedo cat. "He is lucky, born ready for a formal event."

"Lucky" a smile

"Lucky Tuxie."

and the kitten crucnhes around Salma's hand .. not quite biting

"He is so little, he may just be 'Nado for now."

HOlger fusses in Spanish at lucky "Los caballeros no golpean ni muerden a las niñas."

"Ay, el es feroz!" She takes her finger free and gives it a shake. "I will remember that when it comes time to make the dinner plates." Scolding, but also teasing.

"You must take him to Caballero training with you, so that you can both be knighted. He will be the knight for the gatitos, as you are for us."

"Si" A nod.. Holger seems to take this UTTERLY serious.

"What don't knights do to girls?"

"Boys do not hit girls" The troll says slowly "Is wrong"

"Or bite fingers that chop meat for supper."

"Muchachas can be cabelleros, too. They should not hit muchachos either."

"Ah! This is true."

Holger hurmphhs

As Lucky Tuxie Future Battle Cat makes playful rolls to get more pets

Ramona seems to want pets now.

Ellie is most happy to provide!

If she is a princesa, perhaps Ramona is a queen?

It would appear the tabby likes that and preens apporopirately

For Salma, a certain donkey gray kitten paws at a book lightly

"They are good gatitos. And Holger is a fine cabellero for rescuing them for-" And she tsks over at the grey. "Did su madre sunbeam abandon you? I told you, she is flighty, and you should not trust her to stay. But she will always come again mañana."
