There was a knock at the bottom of the stairs a few seconds before Selvina arrived in the room carrying a large tray of food for Eith in the form of a pile of smoked brisket alongside a large glass of cool water for her to drink in case she wanted anything.  She had heard their voices downstairs and therefor knew the hound was awake which was both a relief and a slight problem in case she ended up going catatonic again.

[color=gray]"N-nice to see you back with the living, Eith.  I'll just set this down next to you, alright?"[/color]  She gave the pair a quick diagnostic glance after setting the food down and heading to a small chair in the room and lowering herself into it.  The mage wanted to give them enough space to finish their conversation if they wanted to without her interruption.

Meowka was still clearly a little confused, but the challenge predictably managed to rile her on.  [color=blue]"Well um ... yeah!"[/color]

She could pet someone?  Of course!  After all the experience she had being petted it should be rather easy to transfer that skill over!  In the back of her mind there was still the voice saying that there was something off about this, or even that she was being challenged.

In the end though, the cat began to rub the puppeteer's head, rubbing her neck and lightly grabbing her ears a couple of times.  She stroked her fingers down her mistress' back in hopes that this would be considered a satisfactory treatment.
