[idril]

Kittens: *back in her room when she returns, kittening about*

Idril: where did you kittens go?

Baini: *without thinking, seems to be the dumb kitten* spyin'!

Fiddle: *SMACK*

Baini: ;-;

Dagnette: *covers her head with her paws*

Idril: O.O *picks Baini up and pets* ...did you say spying?

Baini: *miserable look* mew

Idril: I know you spoke!

Baini: ;-; mew mew mew

Baini: *isn't even meowing, is just saying mew*

Idril: *frowns and cuddles her, petting her head* how can you speak?

Baini: *desperately* mew

Idril: *sighs and just cuddles*

Baini: *thinks she's pulled it off and sits purring in Idril's hands*

Idril: *is going to ask again at some point and for now just cuddles her*

Dagnir: *appears in the window like a bad omen*

Idril: *glares at him and waves her hand* shoo! Go away!

Dagnir: *mrowls*

Kittens: *try to get to their father*

Idril: *holds onto Baini* stop that! Leave them alone!

Baini: *struggling hard, likes her trips out with Dagnir*

Dagnette and Fiddle: *snuggling against Dagnir's big furry legs and purring*

Idril: augh! *lets her go* fine, go with him!

Baini: *is a cat, doesn't feel remorse and happily frolics around her papa*

Dagnir: *looks right at Idril* Mrowl. *hops out with the kittens*

Bainil: *stretches from her napping spot on the bed and goes to cuddle with her owner, such a prett ycat*

Idril: *glares at dagnir's back* stupid cat. *pats Bainil* don't you care about your babies?

Bainil: *know they'll be back, he always brings them back*

Idril: hmph!

Bainil: *rolls onto her back and bats her paws in the air*

Idril: *sighs and plays with her*

Dagnir: *reappears in the evening with some tuckered out kittens, even carrying Fiddle in his mouth*

Idril: hmph! *grabs up the kittens to cuddle*

Kittens: *snooze on her*

Bainil: *licks them*

Dagnir: *goes to get a drink in Bainil's waterdish*

Idril: hey, stay out of her dish!

Dagnir: *drinks deep*

Kittens: *would be disrupted if she moved*

Idril's phone: *rings*

Idril: *twitches and grabs it* hello?

Yaban: hey. Using the house of history phone here

Idril: oh! Hi. *cheering up* what do you think?

Yaban: I was looking up cats, 'cause I was curious, and found out there was an ugly as hell breed called the black numenorean that looks a lot like your guy. Wickedly intelligent and all put to death, so it goes

Dagnir: O.O

Idril: oh? *looks at dagnir* what else does it say?

Yaban: *reading* lesse. Used by black numenoreans, natch, for spying and other dark deeds. Like cat crebain. There's mixed reports on if they could speak or not.

Yaban: somehow they were understood

Idril: ...I think they can speak. One of the kittens said they were spying today. o.o

Dagnir:*long-suffering sigh and looks right at Baini*

Yaban: your kittens are *talking*?

Idril: ...apparently. she's said things before, but I could never be sure. Today was very clear.

Yaban: do you need me to come over?

Dagnir: *looking unsure, like he's not sure Idril is going to try and drown the kittens if he's not there to protect them*

Idril: ...do you think the dad would hurt me or the kittens?

Yaban: well, says they're loathesome...

Dagnir: *affronted noise* am not

Yaban: who was that?

Dagnir: *swats the phone away* you done now! *turns to Idril and reaches to grab the kittens, has decided it's rescue time!*

Idril: o.o *gasps* the cat!

Yaban: *calling out* Idril! Idril!

Idril: *calls out too, trying to grab the kittens* he's trying to steal them away!

Dagnir: *furious* YOU NO KILL

Kittens: *woken up and freakin' out*

Idril: I'm not going to kill them!

Dagnir: fsst. No trust. My kittens *smacks her hand, a hint of claws*

Idril: o.o they're mine too! *scoops up Baini to cuddle*

Baini: *panicked meowing, heard 'kill'*

Dagnir: *puffs up three times his size, hissing*

Idril: o.o *sets her down, backing away, afraid he's going to hurt her*

Dagnir: run! Get out!

Kittens: *obey and bolt*

Dagnir: You keep away! *furious swipe at Idril to keep her back, then darts after his kittens*

Bainil: *hiding under the chair for this* o.o

Idril: o.o *finds her and picks her up* and you?! Are you like them?

Bainil: *confused scared meow, is just a normal cat*

Idril: *grabs up her phone* Yaban!

Yaban: *gone, went running to the palace*

Idril: damnit! *hangs it up and paces, not sure what to do*

Yaban: *knocking at her door soon enough, trying to catch his breath*

Bainil: *wiggles under the bed and stays there*

Idril: *opens the door quickly and grabs him in a hug*

Yaban: are you okay? *holds onto her arms*

Idril: *nods* I'm okay... they TALK, Yaban! And he thought I was going to kill the kittens so he took them away!

Yaban: did he hurt you?

Idril: no, I backed off before he could.

Yaban: so he thought you were going to kill them?

Idril: *nods* and he puffed himself to look enormous!

Yaban: *checking her hands anyway*

Idril: *takes a deep breath and tugs him to sit with her on the bed* he did not like that we've found him out

Yaban: are we going to hunt down your kittens?

Idril: *frowns* I don't know. Next time I think he will hurt me. And... I don't think he'll hurt them...

Yaban: *little hug* but they were yours... and if they're spying... who are they spying for?

Idril: *holds onto him* I don't know. ...I should tell dad. And uncle Lio...

Yaban: *little nod* good idea

Idril: *keeps holding his hands* come with me?

Yaban: of course

Idril: *squeezes his hands and heads for Turgon's office*

Turgon: *finishing up some paperwork*

Idril: *goes in with Yaban* dad, we have a potential problem.... *looking worried*

Yaban: *bows to the king*

Turgon: *tired* what is it, dear?

Idril: remember that ugly cat that mated with mine? He can talk. And the kittens can talk. And they're spying for someone...

Turgon: ...what?

Yaban: sir?

Turgon: *looks down at Yaban* yes?

Yaban: sir, he's a special cat called a Black Numenorean. In my past and your future, they were used for spying. They can speak and understand humans.

Turgon: *unsettled look* and they've been in the palace

Idril: yes. Probably all over the city...

Turgon: lock your window. 'm going to go talk to Lio

Idril: kay... *hugs him tightly*

Turgon: *hugs back and heads straight to Lio's house*

I'm glad Yaban looked that up. Talking cats! Who knew! And he was so angry! @.@ I have to lock everything up now...
