Buffy_the_Bloody It was about time her human put that door on the house. She hated Padme' going outside, but there wasn't much she could do. The cat destroyed things when left inside on her own too long. Despite being unable to speak, Padme' made it incredibly known she was not about to be a stay inside only cat. Today was no exception. The dilute calico cat pranced out of the cat door, and into the yard that was lush and green. It was a warm day, one of her favorite kinds of days. She could hear birds, (and boy did it make her hungry..) and the roads were clear of cars. The young humans must have had that big yellow box with wheels pick them up already. The neighborhood was always quiet after that .

ChaosTheories Boone found himself wandering down one of the residential areas of the district. It was an abnormally quite place compared to what he was used to, so his senses were heightened. Noises were scarce, but when they did make themselves known, he froze and listened until they went away. There were some advantages to being there, however. For one thing, he wasn't going to be stepped on the instant he went out in the open, so he was able to cover a lot of ground, which was great for searching for food. And speaking of food, the humans liked to set out tubes of seeds, that attracted lots of tasty little birds. Of course, he could always dive into their neat little trash cans if he was feeling lazy. He just had to be careful not to be caught. In the past he may have been happy to live in one of the quaint little houses, but that life felt far away.

Buffy_the_Bloody She found the perfect patch of grass, and circled it, before lying to stretch out onto her back, belly in the air. Until a smell came to her nose and she instantly rolled back to her belly. She perked, her ears on alert as she began looking around her. Aha! She knew that smell anywhere. Someone new was walking the streets. She padded towards the sidewalk, sticking her face out of the white fence gap. A blue cat, a fellow collared, walking towards her direction. She squeezed, pushing through the gap, realizing maybe she should stop eating so much. This was getting harder and harder.. Once she was free from the prison she straightened out her fur, and cleared her throat. She opened her mouth to speak, but frowned when she could think of nothing that sounded okay. Was it okay just to yell out hi to someone not even looking at you?

ChaosTheories Boone's ears twitched as he caught the sound of birdsong. Ahh, now there was a noise that didn't fridghten him! He sped up a little, his flexible body slinking along effortlessly as he moved. A lot of his kitten chubbiness had fallen away to reveal muscle, and he was still growing. Unfortunately, that meant his bow felt tight if he turned his head a certain way... He came to yet another unremarkable house, this one surrounded by a little white fence. It was only then did he finally notice the scent. A clearly female scent. He stopped and whipped around towards the scent, and spotted Padme standing near a gap in it. A housecat.

Buffy_the_Bloody Eep! Someone new! She nervously patted at her fur again, straightening it. Look at how cute he was, He had an adorable blue bow on his neck, and his fur.. while dirty.. looked soft. She raised a paw, waving in his direction. "I..I...uh.." Oh for crying out loud, why couldn't she speak? She had rarely ever seen another cat, and it made her so nervous when one approached. How she wished her human would bring another cat into the home.. if only to let Padme' talk a little.. "Hi.." She finally uttered, her cheeks turning a soft pink and she cleared her throat. "I'm Padme'."

ChaosTheories About a hundred feelings flowed through Boone all at once. Fear, curiously, anger, pity... and many others he couldn't pinpoint or name. He had never met a hosuecat, even during his time as one, and he wasn't quite sure how to feel about it. It rendered him speechless for a moment, so he stood there, the tip of his tail fidgeting. He reacted to her speech as if it was a gunshot, flinching at the sound like it was a solid force. But all she had done was stutter. Usually he didn't act this weird around other cats, why was this housecat so different? It must be in his head, and he really need to come back to his senses. So he shook it, his ears flapping audibly around a bit. "... Hi. I'm Boone, I guess," he managed to say, before his voice seemed to die in his throat and he just stared, stared at the female with a life with humans.

Buffy_the_Bloody He flinched, and in turn so did she. She had startled him, and that wasn't exactly the kind of first impression she had been looking to make. She blushed again, her eyes wide. "Oh I am so sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you." She looked at her paws, and wiggled her toes. She was sure this was going to be another one of .. those encounters. Leaving other cats running in fear of the 'housecat.' Though she hadn't been sure, and still wasn't, of what was so wrong with a housecat. She loved her family.. But they were having a baby.. Her human kept saying something about looking for a 'place for that cat.' She was pretty sure she meant a place to show her off. Clearly everyone would want to show Padme' off, right? "It's nice to meet you, Boone." She responded, though her eyes took him in. She was so socially awkward.. But she smiled and tried to hide her fear.

ChaosTheories Boone felt heat rise up to his cheeks when he realized that she was just as startled by him as he was startled by her at that point. Suddenly his voice lept back in his throat and his tongue ran away without him. "Whoa no problem I mean I was staring and kind of just showed up here and hi I am not sure what I am saying right now," he said in a rush that was hard to discern before snapping his mouth shut... and biting his tongue in the process. "Ow!" He stuck his tongue out and pawed at it, realized he looked stupid, and immediately stopped. His eyes met hers and he once again stared back for an awkward about of time, before he extended a slightly wet paw. "Uh, Padme', would you like to start over? That was really weird, and I'm sorry. I don't mean any harm, either. I just want something to eat, that's all."

Buffy_the_Bloody When he began rambling, she smiled. He was as nervous as she was. That was actually a relief, they were on even grounds. When he hurt himself, she looked concerned, and a paw lifted to cover her mouth. "Goodness. Are you alright?" She cocked her head, and longed to get closer to inspect. But he recovered awfully quickly, and she let out a sigh of relief. When he started pawing at it, she giggled, her body releasing some of it's tension. It was adorable how awkward he was. Though she suspected she was as awkward sometimes. "No apologies needed, Boone. Weird is fun." She perked a little, with a gleam in her eye. "Oh! Oh! Yes! Well, Boone, that I can help you with!" She though of the kitchen, and where her food bowl was placed. There was a roast up on the counter, and she still had a little kibble in her bowl. But kibble.. Kibble was not good..

ChaosTheories "It was just my tongue, I'm fine!" He exclaimed, trying to get her to forget she ever saw anything. She seemed hesitant to get closer at least, and that was okay with him for now. He didn't want her to see his blush! "Weird is weird... I guess it can be fun?" He echoed back uncertaintly, then he felt his stomach growl and clutched at it. "You can help me? I'd... I'd be pretty grateful for that, actually! What do you have, a tasty bird?" His eyes brightened at the thought of juicy, fresh meat. "Or maybe a mouse! Do you have mice?"

Buffy_the_Bloody She shook her head a little, but smiled. "No, sorry. Nothing like that.. My human can't stand the sounds of birds. And if there were any mice, I'd be booted out for sure." She didn't really have to hunt anything, but if there were mice in a house she was in, they'd surely blame her. "But they left out their hunk of meat. They were supposed to cook it, but I guess they ran out of time." She responded. They had been gone all morning, and her human female had been holding her belly, and crying 'It's Time!" Not that Padme' had any idea what that meant.. "We shouldn't let it go to waste.. Not when you are hungry! Come on." She said, and began squeezing through the gap in the fence. Thankfully this time she slipped right through.

Boone laughed a bit sheepishly. He supposed a collared pet like her would be expected to keep the area clear of mice... Many humans kept cats like them for that purpose, didn't they? He wasn't sure if Padme' would be the type to make it well on her own, either. She seemed too fluffy and fragile for that to him... plus, she was a lot better groomed. He swiped a paw over his head and cringed as he felt his fur starting to clump together. Yep, definitely better groomed. But what she offered sounded much better than a mouse. It didn't even sound real. "What... are you serious? You're not trying to trick me, are you?" He said, laughing again nervously, his fear starting to spike. He didn't know why, but he didn't really want to go into the house until he was sure she was telling the truth. He followed her cautiously. If he had been a little bit better fed, he wouldn't have fit through the gap, but with some wiggling around he managed to get through. He made a note of where it was in case he had to escape.
