Despite the fact he had made a jagged line out of the mere surprise of her stomach rumbles, the girl still continued to act as if nothing had happened. "I definitely cannot say I have an artistic eye... though I do recognize talent when I see it." She paused to reach her one hand that wasn't busy holding onto the man's back to touch the edge of the paper. "Might I ask how many years you have been invested in the artistic side of things?"
Her hand eventually came back, finding a place to rest upon her own lap. As he asked her a question in return, it seemed as if she misinterpreted the meaning. "Well, I definitely veer towards the side of sporty if anything. Though, it is much more difficult to be sporty when you spend most of your time as a cat. I have definitely enjoyed having the ability to stay in this form for much longer. It has given me a bit of a chance to play!" She was half tempted to pop up out of her place and off the counter to show him what sorts of play she could do, yet, there was still that intense need to hit up something out of the food. It wasn't like her stomach was going to get any quieter as she waited.

Fritz did not bother attempting to erase the jagged line. His use of the eraser was limited, considering that under normal circumstances if he made a mistake, he would simply work around that mistake, rather than try and get rid of it (though this particular line was very sharp).
"Oh, several years," he answered *********, letting his shoulders rise and fall in a nonchalant shrug. "I've been sketching since I was a child, though I have upgraded my materials from crayons to pencils."
Fritz gave a wink to the cat, blinking in mild surprise at her answer. She had not said exactly what he had expected; but, then again, to expect something standard from someone who was clearly her own woman was, in and of itself, not quite ideal. It was part of what he liked about this particular cat.
"Why do you spend most of your time as a cat?" he asked her curiously. "Is that your natural form, then? Why is it that you don't spend more time as a human?"
Reaching over he picked up an apple, absently rolling it around in his hands as he peered at the pale haired young woman. "I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about the whole senshi business yet," Fritz said, somewhat apologetically. "Nor do I really understand the cat thing, though the other one - Zirconia - explained a bit to me."

It was honestly hard to explain which form was truly what she considered to be her natural form. At times she even had to question which one was considered her default. She could, however, answer the why to the whole thing.
If Fritz had not been paying attention, it might have seemed as if ********* had disappeared within the blink of an eye. However, that was not the case at all. Instead, she had shrunk down to her other form, that of a small round manx cat. Without asking permission, she padded into the man's lap, green eyes looking up at the apple that was now in his hand. Despite how her eyes seemed to follow the fruit in a hungry manner, she proceeded with her explanation.
"Have you heard any rumors about the monsters that can be found in the city, FredBoberick of the Fritz? To be quite honest, they are not rumor at all, but fact. I don't think you were able to sense it just now... but there's a sort of energy that I give off. That attracts the monsters as if I was some sort of candy coated treat."
Oh goodness, how good a treat sounded right now.
"I need to stay in this form in order to keep that energy muffled." There was a slight pause in her voice before she sat up onto her hind legs and attempted to reach her forepaws at the piece of fruit. With a slight mewl, she added "...so how much did Zirconia explain?"

For a moment, he had thought ********* had disappeared, maybe to try and sneak behind him. But then he realized that she hadn't, and instead there was a tiny - very tiny - little cat sitting beside him.
Or maybe it was a kitten. Fritz blinked down at *********, tilting his head.
"You're quite darling, you realize that?" he told her conversationally as she climbed up onto his leg and settled in his lap. She really was a small creature, hardly bigger than an infant cat, her eyes large and enormously green in this form.
"...monsters?" Fritz said, frowning a bit. Come to think of it, he had heard of some relatively...unusual occurrences happening within Destiny City, though he had, for the most part, simply brushed it aside without really thinking of it too hard.
"Now that you mention it, I do recall a few incidences, yes," he said slowly, trying to think. Absently he raised the apple, took a bite, and, holding it in his teeth, picked up a sandwich and shredded a few pieces in his palm, holding them out to *********," said Fritz, attempting to speak around the apple. He pulled it out, teeth crunching on the sweet juicy fruit, and then answered (once he had swallowed) "Not much. Just a little bit about how you guys watch over the senshi and whatnot."
He took another bite of the apple, then set it down, reaching to pat ********* head. A smile played at the corners of his lips. "Though she seemed a bit...concerned over the state of the senshi."

Of course she was darling. She was *********! Of course, she wasn't about to go parading that about out loud. No, there was food being practically paraded about in front of her face. It almost seemed as if she was hypnotized by the food.
That was, until he moved to give her a small piece of food. It wasn't an apple, but it was still completely appreciated. There wasn't any hesitation as she made her way to his outstretched hand, leaning in and gobbling up one portion almost like she was a vacuum.
"Mmmm, yummy! Thank you!" Nobody could say she didn't have manners, though if she had been more polite, she would have waited for a verbal invitation. She gobbled up a second piece, then glanced up to the man as he chewed on his own treat. With a quick wink, she told him "Well, if that's all she told you, then that's all that you get. Zirconia's been at this game longer than I have in all honesty!"
She giggled a bit before moving onto the next portion of the offered sandwich. If anything, she was proving the statements Hugbell had said about her appetite quite true. "I'd like to think that being concerned is almost part of the job description though!"

********* in her tiny cat form was undeniably adorable. Though Fritz had thought she was rather adorable in her human(ish) form as well too, so really he was having a grand ole' time with the guardian cat. She was, if anything, quite entertaining and amused him greatly.
Especially with the whole 'I-accidentally-grabbed-your-arse-while-trying-to-sneak-food-away' move.
"You're welcome," he responded automatically, then quirked his head to the side, looking down at ********* with a mildly suspicious expression.
"Fine, don't tell me anything else," Fritz said in an overly dramatic tone, adopting a falsely wounded expression. "Here I am, lost in space, have no where to go, nothing to do, no answers to my questions, and you tell me 'that's all I get.' You wound me, good lady."
A small snort of amusement escaped his lips; he could feel ********* cold, wet nose - tiny and snuffling against his skin as she eagerly downed the sandwich remnants in his hand.
"Worrying is part of any job that's worthwhile, I suppose," Fritz replied, smiling. "At least, in my opinion."

Once she had finished up the chunk of food in his hand, she commented "Indeed, I agree" to his mention of worrying being part of any worthwhile job. With nothing left to chew on, she looked up at the boy with large eyes. It seemed as if someone wanted more food.
Allowing her large eyes to silently beg for the food, she then spoke up about his blatantly dramatic statements. "Well... that's all you get... and I'll give you a kissy if you'd want that too! After all, kisses make everything better, right?" She giggled, pausing from her silent begging to pinch her eyes closed for a brief moment before resuming the onslaught of big eyed begging.

"You look like the cat from Shrek," came Fritz's reply, giving ********* a rather suspicious stare as she looked up at him with a wide-eyed, innocent expression. "You know, that one that with the giant eyes and the whole 'Looovee meee' look on its face."
He shrugged his shoulders, then grinned, reaching down to pick up ********* in both hands, munching on the remains of his apple.
"I would have to agree with you there," Fritz replied, with a melodramatic sigh. "Kisses do tend to make things much more pleasant, wouldn't you agree? Although kitty kisses are much different than human kisses as well."

********* might have been pretty up to date on many things, however, movie references were not her best arena. In fact, the name of "Shrek" sounded like something absolutely foreign.
"Well, I do rather think love is a good thing. Would it be a bad thing for FredBob of the Fritz to give a little more of..."
There was a pause in her words before she added in a personal request. "...Or you could share that apple core with me... if you were feeling so kind?" A grin seemed to spread across the feline's maw. Alas, none could say ********* smile would ever match a Cheshire cat's.
Of course, the boy's prompt upon kisses caused the cat to giggle quite a bit. "I like both... but it's easier for me to get and give the kitty variety!"

He eyed her suspiciously. "My dear, I give plenty of love," he answered her primly, and fluffed up the fur on the top of her head a bit, almost like he was not quite paying attention to what he was doing. "I love my family, I love my friends, I love food..."
Fritz's gaze dropped to the cat now wriggling in his hands, looking as innocent as innocent could be - though she was far from it, at least in his mind.
"I'm always feeling kind," he answered, then handed her his apple core anyway, settling ********* back into his lap.
"Well," said Fritz, attempting to stifle the smile that was tugging at the corners of his lips. "I'm quite astonished to hear that, you know. That you're inclined to give kitty kisses. I would have thought you were more into the whole hugging thing, considering that you grabbed my arse earlier."
This was all said in a perfectly level tone, Fritz's overly innocent expression giving away both nothing and everything simultaneously.

The moment the core had been offered, the cat practically pounced it, getting her tiny paws on the still moist flesh of the fruit. With tiny quick bites, she began to pull off more apple than a human typically did from the core. Of course, with her mouth occupied in such a manner, it made it hard to actually hold a conversation. So all she could do for the moment is listen to the boy's ramblings. Of course, he was teasing her, and with her mouth full, she couldn't argue against him. However, somewhere in the back of her throat a little giggle did escape.
Obviously she didn't take the whole accidental rump-grab as anything embarrassing. It had happened and they were all big kids. They could live with the fact that ********* had grabbed a bit more of Fritz than she had really wanted.
Eventually there was a slight pause as the manx spit something out of her mouth. Most animals would have swallowed the seeds of the apple, but ********* was a little smarter. Next to where the remaining apple core sat was now an apple seed. "You might be surprised to know that I do not usually have hands on an everyday basis... so alas... I can't grab you in the manner you are accustomed to very frequently!" She winked before she resumed her attack on the apple core. She was actually making a pretty decent dent in the remaining core, and she was still going strong.

********* was so very catlike in everything she did, Fritz could not help but be amused by her. He had met her as a human, perhaps, but she was very natural as a cat, and it was clear that it was her true form, regardless. Tiny paws grabbed at the apple core and dragged it towards herself, ********* clearly thrilled by her little treasure.
Fritz did not take the infamous arse grabbing as anything embarrassing either. In fact, he was rather amused by the whole situation, if anything. Had it been anyone else, perhaps he might have been slightly taken aback, but with someone like ********* - he did not feel any particular humiliation.
"I find that almost difficult to believe," he answered her primly, fighting back the smile that threatened to expose his underlying entertainment beneath the attempted stoic facade. "From the way you seemed to just grab my arse without any sort of preamble to it...well, you see my point."
He leaned back on the counter, which was just large enough to accommodate his frame, and held ********* high up above his head, arms outstretched.
"So tell me, *********, what do you do when you're not grabbing arses or watching over the senshi?"

"Maybe I see your point..." she managed to state between her gobbling bits on the core. "...or maybe I don't..."
It didn't take long for ********* to absolutely diminish the apple core to a simple pile of seeds and a stem. Once she had seemingly had her fill (in all honesty, she hadn't yet), she was lifted up in the air almost like she was flying.
"I can see everything from here," she offered in jest with a light laugh. Obviously, that didn't answer FredBob of the Fritz's question. Yet, she eventually buckled down to answer the question of what a guardian's everyday life was like.
"Well, one thing that is a fact is that watching over senshi is a full time job in itself, especially in a city as large as Destiny City. My girls live in all sorts of different areas of the city, which makes it harder to keep track of them. These days I tend to spend most of my time just going across the city in an effort to check in on my girls. I do encounter other senshi too and assist when I can. Outside of all of that, I eat when I can, sleep when I can afford to, play if time allows it. In all honesty, I am not an indoor cat."
The manx wiggled her legs a bit as she remained hovering over the boy.

Fritz snorted with amusement. "I'm sure you can," he said, wiggling the cat in his hands around a bit, pretending she was an airplane. "I used to do this with my cat back home. Needless to say, he wasn't nearly as pleased with it as you are."
Dark red brows lifted as he listened to ********* explanation, and then he nodded, pressing his lips together thoughtfully. "It sounds exhausting. Do you ever sleep?"
The question was rhetorical, however, and with a sigh, Fritz pushed himself back into an upright position, ********* back in his lap as he looked down at her.
"You're a good kitty," he told her with a smile, and rubbed her head playfully. He slipped his legs down off of the counter, landing on the floor with a soft thump, and turned around, settling ********* carefully onto the cracked counter top behind him.
"One day I'll surprise you, you know," said Fritz with a teasing smirk. "I'll just show up on your doorstep (wherever that is) and announce dramatically that I'm one of those senshi people too."
The idea made him laugh inside, since he was quite certain he was not one of them, but maybe, if he ever got out of this place, he'd be able to see ********* again. But since he couldn't be sure of anything, it was difficult to make promises.
Fritz glanced back at the cat.
"Don't eat too much too fast, by the way. Then you'll be sick and that would certainly be no fun."

The feline was soon enough set upon the counter, and though her gut instinct was to pounce upon all of the food, she decided to be a tad polite. "Pardon the pun, but I take cat naps when I can afford it."
With a faint giggle, she then mentioned a mere fact. "I can tell when someone is meant to be a senshi... alas... you are not one. However, that doesn't mean too much in all honesty." There was a pause, then she added "Aaaaand... I am technically a stray, so I don't have a doorstep!"
With that, she was attacking the food pile.
