She watched him drowsily for a few moments, brow creasing slightly as she recalled Bianca's words. Bitter, she said. He never seems bitter to me. Finally, she spoke up. "I had a feeling you were more of a cat person."

"I've never felt a cat," he breathed, running his fingers over the fluffy ears. "Only goats. She's so.... Soft."

"She's still got her kitten fur," Tessa said with a soft smile, rising from her seat with as much dignity as she could muster in her weary state. She sat beside him on the rug, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. "Once she's older it will be less soft, and won't stick up quite as much."

He lifted his hands from the cat to put them on his face, feeling the lowness of her eyelids and the slight fall of her face, he tightness of her smile and the bags under her eyes. "You're so tired. You should be napping."

Her eyes creased as she smiled. "It's too early. Besides, I still have to write letters to everyone thanking them for the presents."

"What did you get? Other than the kitten."

"Oh, lots of things. Aunt June sent me an art supplies kit, and Leo and Ricardo's dad got me these beautiful glass animals... And those are just the things I got today." She tickled the kitten behind her ears absent mindedly. "Oh! She still needs a name. What do you think?"

"I don't know. There's not a lot I can do about physical traits, to be honest. Do you want to give her one of those names like 'Fluffy' or 'Snuffles' or an actual person name?"

She scrunched her nose up as she thought. "Nothing too sickening. But then, people names for animals can be very odd sometimes too."

"She smells like some sort of spice. Nutmeg, I think."

"Nutmeg," she said, lips twitching upwards at the corners as she glanced down at the kitten. "I like that."

"Nutmeg it is, then." He returned his hands to the kitten, feeling around until his fingers connected with fur. "What's she like?"

"She's very skinny, and her head and paws look too big for her body," Tessa commented with a small laugh, taking Nic's hand delicately in her own and guiding it towards one of Nutmeg's front paws. "Here, if you're gentle you can feel each toe, and then if you press the pad her claws will slide out."

Nicolas felt a smile spread over his face as the kitten pressed her tongue to one of his fingers. "What is that? It's so... rough. Like sandpaper."

"It's her tongue," Tessa grinned, withdrawing her hand and running it through her hair, pulling a face as it dragged out some individual strands with it. "Sandpaper kisses, my mum used to call them."

"She's so soft. And warm. Is this what all kittens feel like?"

"Presumably," she shrugged as the kitten rolled over, exposing her soft belly. "I can't believe this is the first time you've felt a cat."

He shrugged. "Cats aren't really as efficient as goats and herding dogs back home. And besides, here, most cats just don't ever approach me. And I can't see where they are to approach them."

"Well, Nutmeg's going to be around here a lot, so just be careful not to step on her," she teased lightly.

"Oh my god, what if I do?!" his eyes widened behind his shades. "I could kill her!"
