this carnival of rust
#3
Ottilie played the final note of her tune and stopped the stomping of her foot before she looked up at spotted the white female and her young pup. Her face immediately lit up when she set eyes on the child, her tail wagging; she absolutely adored children. She set the instrument down on the step before straightening up and standing. She stretched, popping the joints in her shoulders before walking down the step of her home and offering a greeting wave to the pair, smiling with rare legitimacy. Chequers dashed out ofthe door after her, the huge tuxedo tomcat twining around her as she walked. He liked to be involved.

Hello! How do you do? Ottilie greeted pleasantly once she was close enough. She shot an especially warm smile down at the rusty pup. And hello to you, too, little man! Do you like the violin? She asked him-- she could tell that it was only his mother's looks that had stopped him from approaching closer. Chequers gave a little meow, a tiny squeak of a thing that didn't match his bulk and rabbit-murdering behaviour at all. He didn't speak any high-speech and Ottilie didn't speak any low-speech; it didn't matter to them any more than it had mattered o the humans that had kept cats so long ago.

How fortunate that Ottilie's first encounter with other Anathemns after joining were a mother and pup. She would not have been nearly as pleasantly inclined to anyone else. These two, though-- how our she be anything but achingly sweet to a pup and his mother?
