- Jammer wanders out the door, and is gone for ten minutes (he lives
- close.)
-
- When he returns, a full grown black panther is padding along behind him.
- The panther plants his front paws on the bar, and sniffs Coffee's mocha.
- Then he stares unblinking at Jammer for a minute, and pads silently
- over to Kitten.
- He sniffs her hair curiously, sniffs her drink, and stares for a moment
- at her companions.
- Then he curls up at her feet, wraps his tail around her ankle, and
- goes to sleep.
-
- Jammer grins, and says
- "Aw, wench, he likes you. His name is Warrior. He doesn't understand why
- I polute good half and half with espresso, and he's had so many
- questions about this place that I thought I'd just bring him in.
- He especially wants a good look at the wee dragons. I'm not sure why,
- but he promised not to eat any of them. If ye have any questions fer the
- Kitty, I'm afraid you'll have to ask me. He doesn't deign to communicate
- with many humans, I'm afraid. I met him in a dream. He's a good friend,
- albieght a mite jealous of my Old Lady."
-
- Jammer collects a mocha, and asks if he might join Her Lady's table...
