"Oh... I had no idea that he wanted a pet cat so badly..." It reminds her of Caspar's somewhat unexpected affection for cats. A few minutes with a kitten -- or any cute animal, really -- and his entire mood shifts and softens. Her smile grows as she thinks about her beloved.

It feels a little intrusive, and it is with great uncertainty that she replies to the demon, her fingers winding into the ends of her scarf and tugging nervously. "Um... well, if you think it's okay..." It's not like Micolash can be accidentally awakened, right?
