-A Good Deed

It was a small thing, a dirty stripped cat living in the back alley of Navessa. Petrine kept a brown travelers cloak close to her person, it was about the only thing keeping her from dying due to the blasted cold. The rags she wore weren’t cutting it and she wondered how she’d get by this winter. She’d stopped for a moment to rest her legs when this pitiful thing approached her and started mewling at her.

“Shoo…go…ugh…” Her expression twists a bit. It was much easier to have empathy for an animal than any beorc or laguz. It looked young, hungry.

“Fine.” She was inclined to feed the stray. It reminded her a bit too much of herself.

“Are you alone too?” She asked the creature, not expecting much in the way of a response as she offered to feed it some of the bread she’d managed to buy from market. She didn’t have much to offer. She watched it nibble away at the bread.

‘Mangy, awful thing.“ She made a decision. ”…Come with me.“ 

No one was going to take care of her. But she knew she could maybe look after this wretched animal while she tried to make something of herself in the city.
