Kitten in a Box - Locked to grimholdkeeper

[puresilverpaws]

It was warm, quiet and dark. He wasn't sure where he was at first, as his senses began to awaken. He felt a soft blanket underneath him. Slowly moving, he sat up, his head gently nudging up the flap of the large cardboard box.

...A fireplace? This wasn't his room. Sure, he made a lot of forts, so being in a box wasn't unusual.

"Myieeeu..." It had an interesting smell about it, and, nervously, he ducked back down into the warm box, curling up within the confines once more, and pawed at a corner of it, his claws lightly scratching it. Maybe if he stayed hidden, he could figure things out better? Were he really aware of his real self, he might have boggled at the fact that first the hotel aged him up, and now it had aged him down to ten.

At least the hotel had put him in Balthazar's room? Furthermore, the box was very large, as if made for one of those older, heavier TVs. But anything smaller would not hold him.

Balthazar has been out, looking for something he can cook in his room, either as a treat for Roi or just something different for himself. He was fortunate enough to find a market of sorts, and one at which he could use coins rather than favors to buy food. He's returned to put preservation spells over the perishables, since he has no refrigerator, but he's quick to notice the box by his fireplace.

He sets his bags down on the bed and approaches with caution, folding back one of the flaps. "Hello? Is there someone in..."

He breaks off as he sees the kitten, struck speechless. Oh, my.

Starting a new thread.

"I think I'll start cooking, but if you want to keep working on it, by all means, go ahead." He's pleased by the boy's determination and willingness to work.

He looks embarrassed by the observation, though. "I'm...conflicted. I'm very happy to find you have magical talent, and it...gives me an excuse to spend time with you. Not that I really needed an additional excuse, but it's nice. On the other hand, if I were to teach you long term, it could be dangerous for you."

((I meant to start a new thread before but I kept forgetting. But these journal formats are kind of a pain in the tail when threads get long. XD ))

new thread. :p

"I want more stew, please." Roi's ears tilt a bit. "And milk." He has quite the large appetite for someone so small, but he burns every bit of it off.

"Dessert in a bit."
