[huffs an amused but contrite noise and holds up both hands, palms facing forward]

My mistake. It was just so hard to ignore--

[hissstory]

And now you blew my cover, too.

[ Clearly no one could have found her otherwise ]

[survivaltricks]

"Too?"

[lowers his hands, mouth twitching]

Sounds like your cover just needed some work.

[hissstory]

Nuh-uh! It was the best hiding spot in here!

[survivaltricks]

Well, that could be true.

[lightly amused!!]

But you forgot to hide your tail, too.

[hissstory]

[




GASPS ]

I always forget the tail!

[survivaltricks]

Is it that hard to keep track of? I hear they have minds of their own.

[hissstory]

It's--

[ Suddenly FROWNS ]

--How come no one else here has a tail . . . ?

[survivaltricks]

Because we're not as cool as you. Obviously.

[just in case she was about to feel self-conscious about that]

[hissstory]

[ IMMEDIATELY perks up, so yes, probably ]

Duh, obviously!

[survivaltricks]

[GOOD HE HEADED THAT ONE OFF EARLY]

Yooooou'll just have the lord it over the rest of us. Brag about how it gives you impeccable balance and everything.

[he seems to know a lot about cats]

[hissstory]

[ watch for relapses ]

Whoa . . . how'd you know about that part?

[survivaltricks]

Lucky guess?

[a beat]

Just kidding. I like cats; that's all.

[hissstory]

Oh.

[ A beat of her own ]

. . . Does that mean you like me?

[survivaltricks]

Yep.

[without hesitation!]

My name's Ren. And you are. . .?

[hissstory]

[ Perking up a little like '^'!!!!! ]

I'm Catra.

[survivaltricks]

[WASN'T THE OTHER CAT ALSO CATRA]

[eh]

Nice to meet you, Catra. You know you won't get many stamps by hiding, right?

[hissstory]

[ mystery ]

. . . I don't know anybody out there.

[survivaltricks]

Maybe not. . . but you can meet some people while you're stamp collecting. Doesn't that sound fun?

[hissstory]

[ Just makes an extremely conflicted face ]

[survivaltricks]

[extremely conflicted face]

Tell you what: I'll go with you. Will that make it easier?

[hissstory]

[ Hesitates.

Then: ]

You won't ditch me?

[survivaltricks]

[holds out his pinky!!]

Pinky promise that I won't.

[hissstory]

Pinky promise . . . ?

[survivaltricks]

A promise made with your pinky. It means it's absolutely unbreakable.
