[ zuko....... is in the woods. like a weirdo. apparently he still hasn't given up on this barrier. he emerges ]

Who are you talking to?

[ is it the frog... is it zuko? none of the above? ]

[exercisms]

[He kind of hesitates for a long pause, looking a little unsure. He's not really sure of Zuko yet - he was nice to the frog, but also seemed angry?

There are some people in the world, it turns out, who would be cruel to a stray cat.]

Um. Nothing.

[cuedoves]

[ maybe zuko is the stray cat all along. ]

Are you looking for someone?

[ that weird hesitation ]

[exercisms]

[He considers it for a second again. It seems wrong to assume something bad about this person he just met, right? So he nods.]

There was a cat that ran this way. I got worried about it. Did you see a white cat?

[cuedoves]

[ time to burn this cat alive while mob watches ]

I didn't, but it's probably around here somewhere. Do you have any food or anything?

[exercisms]

[That will probably go well. No, listen, I solemnly promise no harm will come to this cat.]

Um, no, I didn't bring anything.

[cuedoves]

[ i also promise, all jokes aside. ]

We can try calling out for it, but it'll be better if we have some sort of incentive.

[exercisms]

. . . If it's a stray, is it okay to feed it?

[cuedoves]

Why not? It's not like anyone else around here is going to feed it, except for us.

[ unless the kidnappers are cat lovers but he is cynical (tm) ]

[exercisms]

[That seems to perk him up a little, and he nods.]

Let's get something for her. I think she must be hungry. . .

[cuedoves]

[ mob is so pure i love him.... zuko is just kind of awkward ]

Let's go to the kitchen. There's probably some meat or fish we can use.

[exercisms]

[They are two very awkward boys. They can have a nice time hanging out and being awkward together.

Walking towards the kitchen, silently.]

[cuedoves]

[ is this friendship ]

[ as they walk: ]

So, uh. You like cats?

[ shoulda stayed silent ]

[exercisms]

[It might be for them. This seems like a great topic of conversation to him.]

Yes. Do you?

[cuedoves]

They're... fluffy.

[ wow. ]

I haven't gotten to see a lot of them.

[exercisms]

If she comes out when we feed her, you can pet her if you want.

[cuedoves]

Sure. She might not want to be touched, though.

[ since she's a stray and all... ]

[exercisms]

She likes to be pet. At least, once she's used to you.

[cuedoves]

You spent a lot of time with this cat, huh?

[exercisms]

[Since this is actually earlier than I remembered it was, clamming up a little.]

. . . Oh. She reminds me a lot of a cat that I met before.

[cuedoves]

[ hmm... suspicious..... ]

Well, you do seem to be pretty good with her.
