Althea continued asking quiestions but to no avail all she got were incorrigible noise

*Sniff*

Airi: (You smell similar to that grumpy boy.)

Althea: What are you doing?

Airi sniffed Althea's armce and torso. Once she confirmed the fawn wasn't a threat, Airi plopped down Althea's lap and resumed a curl to take a nap. To this action Althea giggled.

Althea: You really like sleeping don't you?

Airi's tail flicked and coiled at Althea's hand. Confused at the gesture she continued to groom the sleeping human-form Airi.

Kale: Looks like the kid likes you.

Althea: What are we going to do with this child?

Amidst their conversation transformed back into a cat. Now curled up as a ball, Airi continued to sleep undisturbed after the transformation.

Althea: It really was a cat. It's tounge is even hanging out as she slept.

Kale: Yes and this confirms that the "human-like" child that Cydonea saw was this cat.

Althea: So, Is it a child or a cat?

Kale: Probably both either a cat or human.

At those words Airi raised her head and stared at Althea.

Airi: (I am mom's daughter and cat. So both?)

Althea: I think it understands us

Kale: It shows traces of intellect in it's eyes. I think that it's telling us that she is sentient. But hold that thought, I need to deliver more medicine to Cydonea.

Airi: (Nice lady's medicine. Deliver!)

Just as Airi heard Kale leaving, She propped herself up and stretched while yawning.

Kale: Do you wanna come with me?

Airi answered by tapping at the door with her claws.

Kale: Okay furball we'll go so don't scrape the door.

Airi and Kale headed out in the direction of Cydonea's abode.

Kale: Just remember this small one, Don't mess with the cockatrice.

Airi: (Understood.)
