Cabin-Warming

[callmemajor]

There's a small cabin a little ways up the mountain behind Milliways. It's cozy-looking and inviting, smoke streaming softly from the chimney. It's well-lit and welcoming on a cold, snowy night.

"Confusing cats?" Lorne asks.

"They sit by my bath and worry deeply why their human is attempting to drown himself," Teja says.

Re: Hot tub

[callmemajor]

Lorne chuckles. "I take it they don't try to join you."

Re: Hot tub

[ostro_goth]

Teja gives a brief, barking laugh at that. "Oh no -- they sit, and stare!" he says.

Re: Hot tub

[callmemajor]

Lorne nods. "I've never had a cat, but I can imagine they'd be worried by all that water."

Re: Hot tub

[ostro_goth]

"They are," Teja says. "It is amusing to see!"

Re: Hot tub

[callmemajor]

That seems to be the chief point of having a cat," Lorne says. "Amusement."

Re: Hot tub

"And mice-catching, and warm, living fur on one's cold feet," Teja says.

Re: Hot tub

"Well, I have Jack for that," Lorne says, smiling. "The feet-warming, I mean. Not the mice-catching."

Re: Hot tub

[ostro_goth]

Teja gives another brief bark at that. "Well, he is a resourceful man," he says. "He might build good mouse-traps."

Pause, while he ponders.

"I wonder what it would be like, to have a lover with me, always," he then ads, more quietly.

"Then you have to put up with all their little quirks all the time," Lorne says, trying to make light of the situation.

Truthfully, he's been happier since being stuck in Milliways than he has in a very long time.

"An they would have to put up with mine," Teja says, "and wake in the night to find me drawing thing I would make in the forge, and be eyed by cats in odd private moments."

He is trying to make light of it, also.

"Maybe it is best the way it is, with my lovers only coming here very rarely. Their doors are stingy."

Re: Hot tub

[callmemajor]

Lorne nods. "Living with someone else is never easy. No matter how much you love them."

Jack is easier to live with than some other roommates Lorne's had, but it's still never perfect.

"It was not much doubted, in my time," Teja says. "Men and women married, as a matter of course. It was only me who preferred to be alone."
