Maoin only nodded in response and wondered what her nickname would be - would it be cute or fierce or demeaning?

Meowka found herself sighing.  [i]Fine,[/i] she wouldn't fall asleep in the lap just yet.  Of course, she wouldn't be upset about getting a little extra sleep but what was wrong with napping in the cart as they traveled?  Seemed to be a lot easier that way - she didn't enjoy walking long distances and the thought of doing so made her groan slightly.

Otherwise she wouldn't have paid much more attention to the conversation until the thesis was brought up, which made Meowka's ears perk up.  By the time the Puppeteer looked down at her pet, she'd see the girl was giggling profusely before she managed to agree with a nod, finally sitting up and rubbing against her mistress affectionately as she did so.
