[Quiet Man Cometh]

Mirri ceased her fishing when she heard the voice of Cat announcing food, and the smaller voice of Rin crying out in a tone that she knew all too well. Rin was stuck. Again.

The fish would live for another few hours at least.

Mirri walked back to the house at a slightly quicker pace than her usual saunter and found Rin still sitting atop the cat tower. The kitten was going to have to learn to get herself down from her high places one of these days.

Mirri figured the lesson could wait for another day, as there was food around and she wasn't yet sure how many cats were going to have to share it. She jumped to the top of the neighbouring platform, picked up the small kitten in her mouth, then took a more carefull, roundabout route from platform to platform rather than leaping right to the floor.
