Welcome to Gaia! ::

She lightly scratched the top of the small cat's head, hand drifting as Sumi shifted so she could scratch behind the feline's ear. "Other than toys, have you thought to ask your cat what it might want or need? Obviously not inside the pet store, but... This really isn't the best place to have a conversation about what a cat like this might need."

Her brow had furrowed slightly as she glanced up to her cousin. Her own run-ins with Guardian Cats had been limited, at best, as she'd progressed through the senshi ranks. One had always been around in the right place at the right time when she'd needed a power-up, but beyond that? Nowhere to be seen. She knew they were around Destiny City, but the where was always up in the air as far as the Senshi of Vengeance was concerned.

"You're really thinking about being roommates with a cat?"

"I give it a week before he's sleeping in your bed with you." A smirk tugged at the corners of her lips before she snagged a small bag of organically grown catnip, tossing it into the buggy as well. "Cats like-- What was it you said his name was? Sumi? Cats like him have a...Second sense about things, I guess would be the best way to put it. He knew your name, though? This one? Or your other name?"

"Well, at least he found you-- Or you found him, rather, before anyone on the other side could pick him up." Cordelia shook her head slowly before reaching past Lucien to point at a different set of dishes. "These ones would go a bit better with your kitchen. Sumi might not be all that fond of kibble, though, so you might find yourself using regular plates and bowls more often than cat dishes."

Cordelia pulled out her phone, opening an internet browser to do a search for 'cat girls' after turning the safety feature on the search engine. Once she had an image pulled up she nudged Luc. "Because some of them," she made a gesture towards Sumi, "can turn into these."

Her phone was handed over to her cousin at that, giving him a moment or two to ponder as she continued down the aisle, heading towards the wall that started out with cat trees and hammocks before giving way to a small adoption center lined with cages and cats sponsored by one of the local humane societies.

"Can and did!" She called back over her shoulder with a broad smile. It wasn't like they could discuss the specifics of it here where anyone could hear them going on about magical girls (and boys) and their equally magical cats. Luc would have to wait until they were back at his flat to ask both she, and Sumi, more questions-- His fault for inviting her along, really.

Cordelia paused by the plexiglass enclosures, stooping down to wiggle her fingers at a trio of small kittens being housed together. They were tumbling and toppling over each other until one paused to come bat a paw at her fingers, bumping its small head against the window afterwards. She straightened herself out before moving to the next space, eyes lingering on the cat inside for a moment before looking at the description sheet.



Unique star mark on forehead... "Luc! Hey, Luc... can you come here?"

"No, not kittens. Cat." She pointed at the flyer, tapping lightly on the plexiglass to see if she could get the feline to look up from where it was comfortably curled up inside a box mounted inside the enclosure. Her head was sticking out through a circular hole, the back of her head to the window so that her face couldn't be seen.

"Sumi, Luc and I can't tell when we're... Like this. Is this one like you?" In order to sense whether or not the 'unique star marking' was something special and not an actual fur pattern she or Lucien would have to be powered up. They couldn't sense anything without their magic, but Luc had a build in beacon sensor riding around in a buggy with him.

The cat's ear flickered at the sound of the soft mew, recognizing it as different when compared to the sounds of the kittens in the enclosure next to her, or the elder tom on her other side. Her back arched as she stretched slowly, drawing her head back into the box so that she could turn around and peer out once more. As she woke her senses adjusted, picking up the trace of another Mauvian.

"Look, I understand that Luc doesn't want you talking in public, but we aren't as in touch with our sixth sense like this... So if you could just maybe nod once if that cat is another Mau?"

"No, we can't. Stay here while I find out what we have to do to get her out of there." She looked to the cat for a moment, resting her hand against the plexiglass before turning to find someone who worked at the pet store.

The cat slid out of the box she'd been sleeping in, stretching her paws out in front of her and flexing her toes. She trotted towards the window, reaching up to lightly bat her paw at the kitten's. Letting herself get caught had been a decent way to get off of the street during the cold weather, but she'd been cooped up for too long. It would be much nicer to be out and about again.
