[𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 @Catventor]

"Stay here?" She gave it some thought as she looked around the kitchen. Being inside a home would keep her safe from the elements. She wouldn't have to "hunt" for food or go hungry trying either.

An offer like that was almost too good to pass up. Her eyes grew wide as he +

[𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 @Catventor]

Cas didn't catch on only because he was so nice to her. He was good at hiding his intentions, at least to her. She shook her head at his questioning.

"I don't stick around long enough for people to find me, usually. But, most people leave me alone."

When the sausages were done cooking, she was almost tempted to start eating. She'd be patient though. They'd taste better if she had the eggs with them anyway.

The tip of her tail flicked as she thought of the day she escaped.

When she put the chair away, she came right back to watch him cook. This'll probably be the first cooked meal that she's had in a while. She's excited for it.

"I'm glad you're so nice, not a lot of humans are."

[𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 @Catventor]

"I'm not picky. But, I do like scrambled eggs."

She couldn't afford to be picky, for she had no money. More of an argument for Strade to keep her. Cas was a stray, she didn't live in the best conditions. Cas was all alone, no one would come looking for her.

She looked up at +

She walked away once more to grab a chair. Putting it against the counter, she climbed up then opened the cabinet and grabbed two glasses.

Sniffing the air, her stomach growled once more. It already smelled good.

[𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 @Catventor]

Cas had no idea what he was capable of. She was usually so wary of humans, but in Cas's eyes he wasn't a bad one.

She was too naive for her own good sometimes. But, Strade never made her feel like she was in any danger. She didn't think about the possibility of him harming her.

Back into the fridge she went. She grabbed a couple of eggs then placed them on the counter near the stove.

Going back to the fridge, she looked in there once more. This time she came back with a carton of milk.

"Can you cook this for me? Pleeeease~?"

[𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 @Catventor]

One of her big ears twitched when she heard him call out her name. Her attention never left the fridge.

When she felt him leaning over her she pressed up into him with a "Mrr?" exactly how a cat would greet someone.

She had a sausage in her hand, tempted to eat it raw. +

However, Strade's cooking did taste amazing. She's conflicted on what to do.

"This smells good~! Hello!" She turned her head to the back door before tilting it up to look up at him.

"I tried the handle and it wasn't locked."

Finally coming to a decision, she bit a little +
