'So many cats' Penny gaped as she looked around the spacious room, watching as the felines jumped about the room.
"He should be here soon" Liz smiled "He was just finishing up in the gym when I saw him"
Penny smiled and nodded her head "But, what's the candy for?"
"He loves it" Liz replied as if stating the most important fact in the world.
"And cats" Penny added with a small laugh
Liz grinned "Yeah, if Red starts getting irritated, just hand it over"
"That I can do." Penny smiled "I've never had a back-up before"
A small laugh escaped Liz before she replied "Also don't stare"
"Okay. Is he shy?"
"No, it just annoys him" Liz watched as Penny started to point at the cats, clearly trying to count them
"Anything in-particular?" Penny asked indulging a black and white cat that had been yowling at her.
"His horns" Liz replied, her face a picture of seriousness "He files them down to try to look more normal"
Inwardly, Penny groaned, the black and white cat wandered away from her "You weren't joking about him being a Demon were you?"
Liz just laughed in response, and shook her head. Liz walked over to the bed and sat down, Penny laughed as she was immediately mugged by several, brightly coloured fluffy kittens.
"I thought Demon's were supposed to big and mean" Penny smiled as more cats went to sit on the bed next to Liz "But all these cats..."
Liz cut her off "He's only mean to his enemies"
"And what about huge?"
"He's probably twice my height" Liz answered, trying to remove the cats from her body and failing.
The door slammed open behind Penny causing her to squeak in alarm and whirl around "Tall" Penny breathed upon seeing Red.
That had earned her a funny look "Not Demon? Stone Hand? Ugly?"
Penny shook her head, was he testing her? "No, Uh... I always notice height first. Even the Blue guy in the fish tank was tall"
"Abe" Liz said reminding her
"Yeah, Abe" Penny agreed "Can I talk to him later? I've upset him, not sure how, but I have"
"You offended Blue?" Red looked aggravated as he walked over to the numerous TV's.
"I'm a blunt person" Penny replied picking up a ginger kitten, that had been winding itself around her legs "Wait" Penny frowned "Stone Hand?"
Hellboy lifted his right arm, stunning her Penny for a moment.
"Cool" Penny grinned, earning another funny look from the demon "You must be able to do some damage with that"
Liz stood up, finally winning the battle with the cats, and started walking over to Red. Then, out of the corner of her eye, Liz noticed a pink and white toothbrush sticking out of a tin of cat food.
"Red" Liz drew out each letter of the nickname, a low whine hinting at her tone.
"Yeah?" He asked boredly, not taking his eyes off the screens
"You promised" Liz replied agitated, her temperature started to rise.
Penny put the kitten on the floor, sensing an argument between the pair brewing, and walked over to the door, winding past several cats, and slipped out.
Review! I'll die without them.
