"Meruru and Hikari meet when Meruru finds Hikari's lost pet."

[royalpatron]

[It's been a long day. Meruru spent all afternoon pulling out weeds. No one should underestimate how hard it is to gather alchemy ingredients. She's got a basket of grass and other stuff there. There's some mud on her skirt too and she doesn't even mind.

Meruru stretches her arms and legs as if she were dancing energetically. ]

That was a good work out!!  Hey you! What are you doing?

Hey....Fuzzy!

[Is it even listening to us? Nope....Hikari sucks at picking names. Unsure man.]

[sealight]

Tch...! Well if it wanted a better name, it shouldn't have run away from us in the first place! [hikari are you trying to pick a fight with a cat....]

[royalpatron]

Maybe we should try being nicer to it? You might be scaring him.

[NO...DON'T BE A BULLY TO THE KITTEN. DEFEND IT WITH YOUR LIFE MERURU.]

[sealight]

Be nicer how? It's just a cat. [a cat that's caused so much trouble for him HMPH.]

[royalpatron]

[She holds the kitten out to him.]

Try holding him gently and don't scowl so much.

[sealight]

Again?

[UNSURE.... hesitantly, hikari holds out his hands to it, but the cat doesn't seem interested in it. despite her just saying not to scowl so much, he scowls.]

See? It doesn't even want to be around me anyways.

[royalpatron]

AHHH! NOOO!!

YOU'RE SCOWLING

Geez, what did I say earlier? [ DO IT AGAIN HIKARI.]

[sealight]

I'm not scowling! See? [He tries to manage a calm, happy face... But it's obviously forced.]
