[center][h2]Robot Cat, Ready and Waiting[/h2][/center]

Tanja was gaining an appreciation for what it was like to be some sort of incomprehensible work of art. First, that jerk had come and found her and made a big mess out of things... then an even bigger mess trying to work things out. Then she'd been traded off to Alhein after he gave up in exchange for something more practical. And then [i]they[/i] had passed her off to some lady with glasses because nobody wanted to do any babysitting. That hadn't lasted any time at all before Tanja had once again been handed over to another stranger, though Erika didn't seem to be in a hurry to get rid of her.

At least all this being shuffled around had given her time to learn the local language--and get hold of some sort of pistol given how she was apparently now a tagalong explorer. Nothing too impressive or high-spec but... it was perfectly adequate for the time being. Way less interesting than the ID she'd been issued after some confused arguing, with Alhein finally being the ones responsible and some arguing about what on earth the details should be.

Nobody had been receptive toawrds giving Herr Wal one, though. So [i]mean[/i]...

Tanja wouldn't deny being cute, though, nor reject the tanned girl's affection. Ah, that felt nice, and the taller girl was friendly... eyes closed, the robot missed most of her following statement, purring, quite loudly at that, under the attention. Though being roped into the hug brought her attention back to the conversation: "Ja! Ah... follow you!"

Maybe she should pay more attention to details like that now she wasn't in some pass-the-parcel game.
