"Huh," the kitten said, studying her in the darkness of her room
with faintly glowing eyes. "It took me a while to find you, but
with the strength of the call you sent out, there was no doubt I
would. So, here I am!"
"Call?" Pansy blinked, and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"What call?"
Skia sat up straighter, and tilted its head in puzzlement at her.
"The call you sent out a few weeks ago, looking for the power to
protect those you care about, the power to make a difference in
the world?" It gestured at itself with one paw. "I'm here with
the answer."
Pansy squeezed her eyes shut, shook her head, and opened them
again. No, the little animal was still there. "The answer,"
she said flatly.
"Yup!" It leaned in toward her. "And it's *yes*."
