Lesson 11: Curiosity killed the cat - Part Two
I nearly died from a heart attack when a sleek feline literally fell from the sky and landed in my lap.
Clutching my left hand to my heart I cursed under my breath while using the right to steady an equally shocked Marron.
"You damn ninja cat! You cannot go around and stalk people like some demented game of cat and mouse, and the least you could've done is say goodbye, I know you're a wild Pokémon but… well you're my friend and as a friend I want to know if you're safe. It felt like I let you down or drove you away I don't know."
I was blabbering like a brainless moron. Great.
Marron knew it since he rolled his eyes skyward and hissed disapproving at Purrloin as if saying 'Now look what you've done.'
"Stupid tears" I complained rubbing my already puffy eyes, " I'll look like a raccoon tomorrow,"
The feline in my lap snickered kneading the fabric of my baggy shorts, "Don't you laugh." I huffed allowing the cat to rub his furry head beneath my chin, smiling softly as my hands scratching his ears extracted a soothing purr.
"I'll miss you too." I said petting his fur, enjoying how warm and soft it felt beneath my cold fingers.
Purrloin's relaxed form grew rigid and the hum emanating from his chest went quiet.
She's an even bigger idiot than I thought! He uttered addressing the grass type nestled on her head, hoping his growing concern wasn't present in his voice.
A genuine idiot. Marron agreed with a quick nod, his tone affectionate. She lectures Bianca about her self esteem but look at her now. the grass type said climbing her shoulder, skillfully drying her wet cheeks with his long tail.
Two can play that game. The cat said slyly.
She gasped in surprise as he made his way to the other vacant shoulder, hooking his claws into that silly shirt and weaving his long tail around her neck.
Familiar with the saying 'Curiosity killed the cat?' Marron commented.
Yes, I'm rather fond of the continuation 'But satisfaction brought it back.' Replied Purrloin nuzzling closer to the young girl.
"I know what you're trying to do." I laughed raising a brow at the innocent look mischievous green eyes tried to pull.
"A tiger doesn't change his stripes."
"Maybe if I gave you a bath?" I mused aloud, joining Marron's snickering laugh.
Curiosity might've killed the cat after all
