Roll says... 1: Learned the hard way.
You glance back at your stump. "Well," you say, with an amused sigh. "I did learn the hard way."
Laurel chuckles, then lifts up a paw to his mouth. "Sorry. I shouldn't laugh at that."
"I said it with the intent to joke," you reply patiently. "You were supposed to laugh."
Charisma +1.
Your conversation has attracted one or two cats to peer out the window just enough to show their eyes. One of them is quite young (probably a kitten), but the other is a little older, and looks quite similar to...
"Thimble?" you say.
The eyes and ears vanish and you hear a swear.
"Thimble," you say sternly.
Slowly, she pokes her head back up, with a sheepish grin. "Hiii, Asterpaw...I was just, uh..."
You stare at her through half-lidded eyes, tail twitching.
She crawls over the window and slinks up to you, ears back. "Well, I just...I figured, you know, if you're...and...they told me about...um..."
"I'm gunna take a swipe in the dark," you say dryly. "Did you come over here to get instructions like Scat did, so if I didn't take you, you could still follow me?"
If it's possible, she looks even more sheepish. She half-crouches, her tail instinctively wrapping around her feet.
Good thing I'm taking you.
I haven't even decided yet.
You should go home.
