SPOILER!!: Heath and Rey! <3 Quote:

"It's right here," he replied to Claudine's question, jerking his head toward the inside of the compartment. He wasn't stupid enough to leave Rey's carrier in the luggage car for this very reason! She was usually a sweet cat, but she played too roughly sometimes.
Then Claudine said that, and Heath blinked confusedly. "You didn't," he assured her. If anyone had inconvenienced him, it was Rey! No sooner had the door closed that Rey slipped out of Heath's arms, spilling his bag as she jumped from one seat to the next in an effort to avoid being caught. The sounds of bumping and meowing could be heard from the other side of the door as he attempted to catch the little gray cat. He reached out to grab her… almost there, and… got her! He latched the carrier door just in time to stop Rey from darting out.
When he reopened the compartment door, his arms were covered in scratches. Behind him, Rey was yowling and pawing from her carrier. Books, cat toys, (thankfully unopened) candy wrappers, and various other items from his bag littered the floor of the compartment, but he still smiled warmly at Claudine. "Sorry about that," he said. "She didn't scare your rat too badly, did she?" He eyed the poor creature with concern. "It's okay, boy. Rey can't hurt you now," he whispered to the rat. Claudine did say it was a boy, right? He thought he heard her call it a him, but he couldn't be sure in all this chaos!
Heath having the carrier right there with him made things easier. Of course, any good cat or kneazle owner should have their carriers ready for a situation like these. Claudine’s hand was still protectively resting on Samm’s warm and furry form. The rat was still quivering but so far, he was managing to hold himself together and not attempting to scramble off into hiding. Though, this may not necessarily be a good thing now that she thought of it: Samm may be too terrified to move. Heath’s words didn’t reassure her, however. The way she saw it was that if she hadn’t stopped at his compartment, he’d be having a peaceful moment with the cat…
...not wasting time trying to catch the elusive little creature. Claudine watched on in concern as Heath attempted to capture the kitty. Had Samm not been with her, the girl would have helped. Then again, had Samm not been with her, they wouldn’t be in this situation. The bumps and meows only made her more concern as there was no way Heath was coming out of that compartment unscathed.
So right she was.
The cat was still in a state despite being in the carrier and so Claudine thought it might be a good idea for her to stay outside for a little while longer. “I think she did,’’ the third year stated honestly. “But as long as I maintain some distance from your cat, Samm will be fine. When he calms down completely, I'll introduce you two.’’ She could already feel the quivering easing. “Your arms,’’ she added guiltily and with a wince. “Are the scratches deep?” |
