[stalk stalk stalk]

[Thyme crouches on her stomach, tail swishing slowly. Back and forth.]

[Waiting for the right moment.]

[prettyrat]

[Yuki doesn't dare take his eyes off the cats, but he does continue to back away. The door was closed, but he could squeeze underneath it and the cat couldn't follow. Providing, of course, he could do so in time.]

Come on, transformation, I know you can be random, but changing back would be really nice about now ....

[sometimesapet]

[Her slitted eyes follow him. The slits slowly dilating as if anticipating the thrill of the chase...]

[prettyrat]

[He was just about close enough to the door to make a break for it. Now or never! Spinning around, he dashes for the space under the door.]

[sometimesapet]

[At the same milisecond, the cat takes off running after him.

CHAAAASE!!!

Her paws swiping to try and catch him before he goes under the door.]

[prettyrat]

[Yuki squeaks involuntarily in his panic as one paw smacks him hard enough to make him roll a couple of feet away from the door. Now with the cat between he and the door, he runs in the opposite direction, searching for a hiding spot]

[sometimesapet]

[She made sure not to use any claw, this was only playing after all. For now. Thyme gallops after the mouse, dodging between chair legs and keeping on it's tail.]

[prettyrat]

[Yuki doesn't know the cat is playing and is pretty well terrified for his life. He has just found himself cornered when his transformation finally kicks in and a loud POP is accompanied by a cloud of coloured smoke. When it clears, a beautiful naked boy is left behind.]

Whew, it's about time! [reaches for the clothes that had dropped when he first transformed.] I'm sorry, kitty, but the rat is gone -- it's just me now.

[sometimesapet]

[Startled by the POP and smoke, the cat leaps backwards, legs splayed out and eyes wide. Frozen as if waiting for the signal to run away.

She seems confused by the change though, trilling a meow before coming up tentatively to sniff at his ankles. Almost hesitant in case he decides to pop again.] Mrrr?

[prettyrat]

[Finished dressing, Yuki smiles at the cat and holds out his hand for it to sniff]

I wonder if I still smell like rat to you? I'm sorry if I scared you with my transformation -- it's not something I can control.

[sometimesapet]

[Thyme flattens out her ears warily at the hand before leaning to sniff it carefully. Was the hand going to turn into a mouse?

But it doesn't. Okay, that seemed safe enough. And you smell kind of human-y, so you must be alright.]

[prettyrat]

[Yuki tentatively begins to scratch under her chin and behind her ears]

There you go, you're really a nice cat, aren't you? Much nicer than the stupid one that I live with who is constantly trying to beat me in a fight.

[sometimesapet]

[Ohhhh, that's the spot...yes, Thyme has determined you are a very nice human indeed. She shuts her eyes, lifting her chin so he can get that exact spot, her throat vibrating with purring.]

[prettyrat]

[Yuki smiles, enjoying the purr and the kitty's response. He obliges by intensifying the scratch, this time right where she wants it.]

I wonder where your owner is -- you're so pretty and well-cared for that you must have one. I wonder if I have any food on me -- food that isn't ME in rat form, that is. [Looks through his pockets] I have some beef jerky. A classmate gave it to me, but I find it too salty. [Opens it and offers her a piece.]

[sometimesapet]

[Thyme is actually a stray, but she is very pretty and easily able to get food from humans.

She quickly sits on her back legs, front paws up in a mimickry of begging the second food comes out. She licks at the salty piece of jerky, not eating it because it looked too tough, but the salt was nice.]
