Maoin's ears dropped as Lady Gwynn once again reminded her that she was created by a noblewoman that never wanted her and existed simply because she was chosen randomly.  Being with the Radiant Queen of the Heavens had given her a bit more confidence but sometimes the painful reminder of her former mistress' true feelings festered like a wound that hadn't quite healed.  It hurt to say it like that but ... [color=darkslateblue]"Lady Gwy-"[/color]

Whatever the cat had been about to say was quickly interrupted by Ritsa tackling the pirate to the ground.  The kitten nearly leapt forward to defend her instinctively but stopped herself as she realized it wasn't a real threat.  That was the girl in the tavern earlier, right?  Maoin's eyes were quickly drawn away from the scene however as she heard the sound metals and gems moving and notice the woman quickly identified as 'Nitsa' approaching.  It took only a couple of seconds to realize she was human, but she was clearly exotic as if she had come from some oriental area.  She was pretty, but her tone seemed cold and commanding in a way that made Maoin feel just slightly uncomfortable.

Of course the moment she was petted Maoin's opinion of the woman immediately improved, and the kitten found herself wondering with a great degree of curiosity if the woman belonged to either a merchant family or to a high noble family.  Of course the cat was surprised when the noble clearly knew who she was, and even more surprised by the next fact.

[color=darkslateblue]"M-Married?!  And I wasn't invited to the ceremony!"[/color]  The reaction was nearly instinctual and jarred itself into whatever conversation was going on and the cat couldn't help but give a pout over towards the direction of the noblewoman. [color=darkslateblue]"I apologize for whatever difficulties she caused while she was being prepared for that.  Or have you found some method of convincing her to dress decently?"[/color]  The cat finished her response, blushed slightly from her rant, and listened to what the woman had to say next.

Didn't deserve her?  Didn't deserve her affection?  Maoin looked over at Lady Gwynn as if she was a little crazy for a couple seconds before a confused look crossed her face.  What had Lady Gwynn done wrong to not deserve it?  The cat couldn't find an answer in her mind, but ... [color=darkslateblue]"... Lady Gwynn ... is that what you really think ... you never did anything wrong ... why?"[/color]  Based on Maoin's stare, it was rather apparent this would not be an easy conversation for her former owner to back out of.

Meowka's eyes opened groggily from within the tree, only really registering the end of Mistress Katherine's statement.  The cat took her time to stretch her back out using the branched and then hoped the ten feet straight towards the ground without any real issues.  [color=blue]"The dance?  We are actually going?"[/color]  The cat was honestly a little surprised that the woman actually had decided to go with her.  [color=blue]"I have a cat's grace, but I suppose we should dress more richly for the occasion, archwizard?"[/color]  It was rather clear that thoughts of pampering and of wearing fine clothes filled the cat's mind as she imagined a life of pampering.
