"What are you doing, Daniel?"
The boy was floating above Maddie, phone out and taking pictures as she rolled in a patch of sunlight.
"I'm trying to make your cat internet-famous." Danny frowned as Maddie twitched her whiskers. "But she's not doing anything, you know. Internet-y."
"Then leave her alone, she's trying to nap."
Danny ignored Vlad, phasing halfway through the floor to get as close to Maddie's nose as possible. "Don't you want all those theoretical dollars you can get?"
"I have all the actual dollars I could ever want." Vlad looked at his cat, watching the way she swished her tail and curled her back paws, "You should be careful that you don't end up like Danielle, little badger."
"What are you talking about?" Danny laughed. He went to poke Maddie on the nose. "She loves me, don't you, Little Miss?"
The moment the boy's finger connected to Maddie's nose, the cat whipped around and bit him hard enough to draw blood. She hissed as Danny yelped and she ran to Vlad, hiding behind his legs.
"She didn't flee the room. I guess she does love you after all."
