OoC: Yays, I poshted. ^^

BiC:

“Hey,” Sora exclaimed after the kitten suddenly attached itself to her leg, mewing excitedly. She carefully pried it off and held the feline up to her face, “Look, as happy as I was to help you, I can’t take a cat with me. I wouldn’t even know how to take care of you. So, you had better find another person to be clinging with.” The hunter set the calico down and started walking away once more... only to have the kitten follow behind. She groaned and rubbed her forehead. I guess I should’ve know that this cat would want to follow me. After all, I’m probably the only person to have showed it some kindness. “Okay, okay,” she sighed and then crouched, holding out her arms, “Come here and we’ll see if we can’t find you a home ‘cause you still can’t come home with me.” Instead of jumping into her arm, however, the kitten seemed to shutter and... grow bigger? To surprised to making any kinds of movements, Sora stayed crouched as something much bigger than a kitten leaped at her.

“Sora! I’m so glad to see you!” a childish voice gleefully said as a face nuzzled the female’s own. “I haven’t seen you in such a long time. Where have you been? Did you get out of that temple okay? What happened afterwards? Did you ever see me walk away as a kitten? I’m sooo happy you’re here!” He punctuated that statement with a lick to Sora’s cheek. Somehow, a kid licking her cheek wasn’t quite as adorable as a kitten.

“Hey! Heyheyheyheyhey!” the hunter shouted and struggled underneath the child-like form, “Just who the hell are you?” She finally managed to push the boy off of her and onto the ground. Then she was slightly puzzled by his appearance. He was a boy, probably not much older than 12 or so. However, a pair of cat ears stuck out of his brown hair and a brown tail wagged cheerfully behind him.

He smiled happily, “Aw, come on, don’t you remember me? It’s me, Ziran!”

She wiped the cheek he had licked, “Ziran?” That name did sound familiar. But where had she met this person before? Surely she would’ve remembered meeting a cat person. That isn’t exactly something the hunter saw everyday.

Ziran nodded frantically, “Yeah, yeah. I’m the Windigo. Remember? With the red hair and horn? We went to that medallion temple together along with a couple others. It’s so good to see you!” He made another leap at Sora but she moved to the side and he simply landed right beside her.

Red hair and a horn? Well, she certainly remembered the temple with the medallions but... “Ah crud.” She moaned and slapped her face. Yeah, she remembered Ziran now. He always seemed to flying above them, far too happy and way too drunk. Though, it was sometimes hard to dismiss a perpetually happy personality. Especially when they were happy to see you. She turned back to his cat-boy appearance and grinned, “Okay, so what exactly happened to you?”
