Again, that cattish grin. "I had a feeling." She said, wandering around the cottage. She sniffed at a chair-leg here and a little cabbage-leaf rug there. "Oh, look! Theres even a little fireplace!" She didn't recall seeing a chimney outside, but there was indeed a little fireplace looking ready for a flame to warm the cozy little space up.
"Why cabbages?" Galleai pondered out loud. She wasn't sure Maddy would have an answer, most of the time people didn't know why the dreamed what they dreamed. But she couldn't help but be curious.

"There is!" Maddy clasped her hands together, unexplicably happy with the little house. It was so, so perfect!
"Well," she began as she tested out one of the chairs. Surprisingly soft, she nodded serenely. "I've got a cabbage at home." Wait, that sounded kind of stupid.
"Or well, I'm taking care of one." Still sounded stupid. "It's gonna be my new sibling." Preferably a sister, but she supposed she could live with a brother as well.

"Really?" Galleai's ears perked up and she raised her head. "I came out of a cabbage. Not here, of course. But you know... In the world you're in when you're not asleep."

"Really? I didn't know that the cabbages made cats, too. Wow, that's so cool!" This was a day - or night, really - of surprises.

"I'm not a cat when I'm awake." Galleai purred. She padded over to Maddy and jumped into her lap. "I'm a girl like you. Except I dont look like you. But you know. I'm just a girl. Ooh... get right behind the ear?" She begged. "But I like being a cat."

Maddy dutifully obeyed the cat's request with a thoughtful expression on her face. "That's totally neat, you know, you being two different things - sorta."
She looked down at the purring cat. "How old are you, then? You've got a name too, right?" So far she'd just assumed that she hadn't, being a fantasy cat and all, but now that she knew the truth.. Well, that changed things.

"They call me Galleai when I'm awake." She smiled up at the butterfly-girl. "And I'm not terribly old out there. But I am much, much older in here." She knew it probably didn't make a lot of sense, but that was just the way it was. "Whats your name when you're awake?"

"Oh. That's a really pretty name." Maddy nodded. "Mine is Maddy. Or Madeleine, but no-one actually calls me that."

"Madeline." Galleai repeated. "Thats really pretty too!" She looked over at the fireplace, which obediently started crackling with flame. "Do you like your house, Maddy?" She asked. "Do you think you will come back here?"

"I think I will." She looked around with a smile as she came to that conclusion. "It's really nice here. It feels.. safe. Will you come back too? I'll rub your ears some more if you." She smiled teasingly.

"I would like that very much." Galleai said, purring. "This is a nice place. I'd like to visit you here again."

"I'd like you to like to visit." That probably made more sense in her head than it did out loud, but, she reasoned, this was her head.
