-Almost a week later in the afternoon-(Pita's P.O.V.)

I sighed heavily, shaking my head awake as I was exhausted from a particular dangerous situation, hanging my hat and suit up, relieved to feel the air hitting my arms as I now stood in a sky blue t-shirt, and my navy blue pants, and black shoes.

I called out, "Helga, I'm home!". A answer reached me, "In the living room!". I walked to the pocket door, smiled wryly as I saw Helga punching and kicking the air, convincing me that she was exercising her skilled fighting style, and I saw the TV on, on the news channel. I saw Tod come in through the cat door in one of the outdoor doors behind Helga, meowing once he saw me.

I chuckled, "Hey, buddy. Did you keep Helga company?". as I took a seat upon my favorite chair. Helga slowly stopped, smirking as she grabbed a towel nearby, "He kept me company most of the time, but he was distracted by a bird a while ago, and went out, presumably patrolling his borders.". She cleaned her face, as I nodded with a smile. My hand instinctively rubbed Tod's ears once he got closer, purring in delight.

"Nice job stopping the bush fire, Pita.". Helga complimented. "Oh, it wasn't me much. It was the firefighters that stopped it.". I responded, as there was a bush fire situation that lasted through yesterday and today, and I only assisted with the evacuation of many people as the mayor thought that the bush fire could have been threatening people's homes, and helped with soiling the fire from a elevated ravine and a scooper machine.

Helga chuckled, "Neither way, I thought you must have been exhausted, so I got one of your leftovers out for you.". I smiled bigger at that, and replied, "Thanks, Helga. Oh, and I forget to mention, there is a market tomorrow. I usually go there for groceries and knickknacks if I find any. Could you like to join me?".

A hum of consideration from Helga as she thought of my offer, and asked, "Do you think I am ready to venture out there?".

"Helga, I asked around if anybody saw anything strange in the middle of the night, and nobody did. It must have been only coincidence that I heard something in sync with your arrival. Plus if you're more relaxed and in different clothes, anybody couldn't recognize you, and if somebody could, like me, they could think that you were a relative or the same thing I knew about.". I raised a eyebrow, with a calm smile.

Helga stiffly nodded, "I figured about the same, otherwise people could have talked on the news. Are we going casual?".

I smiled, "Yep, we are. (chuckles) Now, I gotta eat my food, and you..could use a shower.". Helga playfully rolled her eyes, and left the living room, with her hand petting upon Tod's back, and whistled a tune I couldn't recognize as she distanced herself from me. I got up, and with a indignant meow from Tod, and I glanced at my watch, and chuckled, "I swear you always got perfect timing when it comes to your meals, Tod.".

I checked the microwave, and smiled as one of my leftovers is ready to be cooked in there, and I timed the microwave, started it up. I leaned down into the counter doors below me, and opened it to grab one of the wet food containers. I hummed one of my favorite tunes as I grabbed Tod's bowl from the floor, and flipped the wet food into the bowl, and brought it down to a sitting Tod with a twitching tail which always amused me. Tod mewed once before he started eating, and soon enough, the microwave beeped out to signify that it has finished.

I brought it out with a couple of mitts, and placed it on the peninsula island, grabbed a fork out of a drawer, and took a seat upon one of the stools. The house soon echoed with Helga's singing voice, in German. It's one of the more powerful songs that I could tell, yet I was amazed at how she does it, beautiful yet mysterious, just like her. She's very much ready for my world. I only hope that she would love it as I do.
