Louisa saw something... fluffy, crammed somewhere deep in a corner of the under staircase. The thing wasn't moving but... it could pass for a cat's tail. "
Shh!" She gestured at the boy, who turned out to be a firstie. "
Here.." Bending down slowly, "
..we.." on her fours, she started crawling forward, "
...GO!" Her hands clasped on the tail and she pulled the cat out, the poor creature screeching and clawing with her paws.
"
Aww.. come now, dear." She loosened her grip and held the angry cat in her arms, "
Looks, Sam, I've found her." Louisa started walking toward the quiet firstie, "
Meet Viola." She held the cat from under her forelegs and pushed her toward the boy for.... a paw shake? Whatever came to his mind.
While the girl was grinning satisfied of finding the
pet, Viola's eyes were half-open, apparently nonchalant of this big show. And sleepy. Naturally.
