( A cat, and she speaks, and this is neither the most unexpected nor perilous of combinations that have greeted the Queen Zanyra since the mate Quicksilver invited them at sea.
Caladan Kreil's no man to begrudge his passenger, not when she or he has paid the travel fairly. Quicksilver named that agreement done. And yet... he is less enthusiastic about some of the day's companions.
The cat, decisively, is a welcome exception. Even wet, she is pleasing in the way that a naturally tense animal evokes calmness from those around it. Reptilian, Caladan approaches, slipping to one knee to pass his hand each way on the cat's flanks and gently rub out some of the dampness. )
Roses are red. Violets are blue. Sister Sea does not love you.
