Hallo! 'Tis Suzu, stocking up the very much ignored catagory of Cat/Tonino. Shame! Shame on all you DWJ slash writers who have not taken advantage of this pairing!

Anyway, these are a series of drabbles. Not necessarily a series, though some might be connected.

And yes, I no own, and you no sue. Really, if I owned this series, Cat and Tonino would have been making out a long time ago.


Title: Greeting

When Tonino arrives, Benvenuto comes to him, like always, pleased to see him.

"Hallo Benvenuto," says Tonino, scratching him behind ragged ears. Benvenuto rumbles deep in his throat, then freezes.

He asks, growling, why Tonino smells like love.

Tonino blushes, and starts to explain. He hopes Benvenuto will understand.

"It's Cat, Chrestomanci's heir. Well, his name is Eric Chant, but -"

Benvenuto glares and informs Tonino that anyone who wants to court Tonino, whatever their name, will have be approved by Benvenuto.

For the first time, Tonino is glad that Cat isn't here, and that England is very far away.
