The silence in the room was deafening. Ada stared into Cheshire's single red eye, her mouth partially open in suprise. He calmly returned the stare, possibly unaware of his current position. Ada suddenly became aware of the akward silence and broke eye contact. she fiddled with her skirt and kept her gaze down as she finally spoke. "I-is that true? really?" she had of course noticed the cat ears, but she knew that some people wore strange things when there was a trend. she had opted not to pry. Cheshire was uncertain as to why Ada's dress had suddenly caught her attention, but cocking his head to the side, he replied. " of course it is nya. why else would i say so nya?" he scratched a feline ear with his now short "claws". Ada looked at him once more. his gaze was now off of her and focused on no certain point. His words were spoken with an almost innocent honesty rather than the unkind tone she half expected. she was silent as she watched his cat-like behavior. It was actually pretty cute. Ada's cheeks tinged pink at that thought, and she shook it from her mind. "Well..um, pardon me, but i'm afraid I made plans to meet with someone today. I promise i'll be back later with some food." she gave a polite half bow. At her words, Cheshire ceased his scratching and looked at her. "...ok nya." The blond waited a moment for him to say more. When he didn't she akwardly took her leave. "Goodbye." she smiled. the heavy wood door latched behind her. After a moment of complete silence in the cottage a soft feline voice uttered a word."Goodbye."
