Blame the Piskies? [OTA]

[hey_sexy_latte]

 Going to the family dinner is usually a simple thing. She stops by after she gets off of work, helps her mother get things sorted in the kitchen, enjoys a nice home-cooked meal and mostly-enjoyable conversation, crashes on her brother's futon, and goes back home the next morning. No trouble at all, usually.

Except this time, it seems that one stubborn cat wandering about the Clubs Castle hallways seems absolutely set on not letting her leave the building, this morning. She's already almost tripped twice, and shooed it off many more times, but still the cursed creature insists on weaving about between her feet.

"Oh, for goodness' sake--!"

Q or some other cat?

[the_songbird]

Elani can't help but grin a little when she sees Teresa's predicament. "It looks like you've got an admirer there."

"Should I distract while you make your getaway?"

I was kind of thinking Q but it doesn't really matter to me~

[hey_sexy_latte]

"I'm sure I would appreciate it more if it weren't for the fact that I need to be going places," she answers with a furrowed brow as try #5432 to extricate herself from the ball of fur fails.

There's a bit more relief than probably is normal in her tone at Elani's suggestion, "Please do. You'd be a lifesaver if you actually manage it."

The cat was stubbornly intent on not being distracted, after all.

Re: I was kind of thinking Q but it doesn't really matter to me~

At least Q actually likes Elani so it shouldn't be too difficult to entice him away from Teresa.

Should being the operative word there.

"I-...he-...Q, are you for real?"

Yeah, apparently easier said than done when he has two ladies' legs to twine around. "Sorry, this is getting ridiculous."

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Cats." She says with a heavy sigh as a means of explanation.

"He probably smells mine on me and thinks I'm a threat to his territory." And Elani, it seems is the unfortunate victim in all this.

[the_songbird]

"I think he thinks everyone is a threat to his territory," she laughs and finally manages to catch the cat who's truly the King of Clubs. "He's just letting you know who's really the boss around here."

Because it obviously isn't any of the humans.

[hey_sexy_latte]

Obviously not. Teresa will give a curtsy to the cat once she's free, as he's due.

"My apologies, Your Majesty," she says with a teasing grin.

[the_songbird]

[ooc: Bah, HTML]

Since he's wriggling now to get loose, Elani will set his Majesty free again to saunter off in the direction of his Elisha's office. "I think he forgave you but you never know with cats, huh?" Dogs were easier but cats were easier to pick up.

It is the worst sometimes o9

[hey_sexy_latte]

"You can't. So I'm going to consider myself forgiven until proven otherwise," she replies.

Clearly the best way to go about things.

"How are you?"

[the_songbird]

"Oh, well, you know. Not bad? Kind of quiet since the swing dance." But she'd been finding ways to fill the time. Like working in more time to see Alasdair and remembering to take walks outside when being in the office for too long started making her twitchy.

"And you, Teresa?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"I'm doing all right. Nothing too exciting going on," she says with a smile, "The dance turned out really well, by the way."

[the_songbird]

Elani beams, "thank you! I'm so glad it looks like everyone enjoyed themselves!"

And then she'll offer up a bit of a conspiratorial grin, "though would it be terrible to say I'm kind of glad it's over?"

[hey_sexy_latte]

"Not a bit," she grins, "I'm sure it must have been a pain to plan."
