Waking into Sahl's quarters Cody looked around anxiously. She wasn't usually late and always commed to let him know if something out of the ordinary came up. As a Jedi Padawan and Commander in the GAR Sahl always answered her comm, so when she didn't respond the three times he called he was certain something was wrong. Scanning the room, his attention was caught by a Tooka kitten on the bed, next to Sahl's robes. The kitten was staring at him, "Kriff."
It was tiny at barely a pound, and had little stipes of darker brown in it's honey brown fur. The kitten chirped and tried to come toward him, but lost its footing and tumbled. He knelt down next to the kitten and gently lifted back to its little feet, "Sahl?"
Immediately it looked up and chirped again. And his fears were confirmed….his little Jedi was a kitten. "Sith hells," he muttered, "how did this happen?"
As his attention wandered the kitten, Sahl he corrected himself, head butted his hand. "Sorry kid," he answered. Then laying his hand flat on the bed he watched the kitten walk onto it before crouching as he gently lifted the tiny form in the air. Cupping his other around her to make sure she didn't fall he cradled his now kitten Jedi against his chest.
"I can feel your heartbeat kid," he said to break the silence. She rubbed her little face against his fingers, "Don't worry, we'll figure this out." A small smile at her as she licked him.
"Oh really?" Scratching her carefully under the chin, "I'm glad you believe me." Continuing to cup her gently cradled against chest he started out of the quarters and towards the medbay, "First Corric should check if he can find any trace of what happened."
Sahl purred and Cody wondered something. Could she understand him? Or was she just reacting to his familiar voice?
Deciding to test this he saw Boil coming toward him, "Boil."
"Yes Commander," the mustached clone responded as he stopped in front of Cody.
Feeling Sahl stiffen in his hand at Boils voice. "How are the men taking the recent attacks on medical bases?" As he spoke she relaxed again.
"Not good sir." Again the tightening as if the kitten was a spring and her fur was puffing out in an attempt to look bigger, "They are ready to destroy Grievous even more than usual and want to take the fight to the Seppies."
Little Sahl was so tense, fluffy, and even let out a hiss at this point. "Shh kid," Cody said to her and as her fur began to settle a bit he ran a finger down her back, "your alright."
She puffed up again as Boil looked at the tiny kitten's head peeking out of his Commanders hand and asked, "Sir?"
Still stroking a slowly relaxing kitten Cody answered, "I just found out that Commander Sahl has been changed onto this Tooka and I'm heading to the medbay to see what Corric can find out." Looking up at his brother, "Go to the bridge and check if there have been any other anomalies."
With a salute and a, "Yes sir." Boil headed towards the bridge. But he still looked as if he wanted to ask more questions as he left.
Which left Cody to comfort a tiny kitten. "Now kid, shall we go on?" She let out her chirp before a little meow which he took as a yes, and headed toward the medbay.
