Our Lady of Fandom, Friday all day

Gabriel was sitting on the steps of the church, tossing a very dead mouse at the cat. The animal ignored the fact that the prey was no longer living - in fact she had killed it herself the night before - and leapt after it. Dropping it in front of Gabriel she looked up at him expectantly. He shook his head. "Stupid cat."

After closing the library, Karal made his way down to the church to check on Gabriel and the cat. He stopped a little ways away when he saw what was going on, bemused and baffled and a little bit disturbed.

Which were so common in Gabriel's company, they were barely worth mentioning. "Gabriel, hello."

Gabriel looked up. "She chases dead mice," he said. The cat slowly walked up to Karal and sat down in front of him, looking up expectantly.

Karal obediently bent over to scratch her behind the ears. "I think she wants you to play with her," he said, smiling at Gabriel. "If you offered her something else, she'd probably play with that."

The cat purred and almost closed her eyes.

"Play? I don't play." Gabriel looked amused at the suggestion.

Karal laughed quietly. "Weren't you just throwing the mouse for her? She thinks you do."

"Huh." Gabriel dropped the dead mouse on the ground, and the cat walked over to it, poked it with her paw, looked up at Gabriel and purred.

"I think she likes you." Karal walked over to sit next to Gabriel. "How have you been?"

"Huh," Gabriel said again, staring at the cat. "You brought donuts?" No, that wasn't an answer.
