Ryo enters the The Bucket and Basilisk with his companions. He sits down at a table with them and looks over the menu, asking questions here and there and finally deciding on some goose eggs and oatmeal. As the dwarf goes to prepare, he lowers his voice and asks his companions, "is it just me or people in this town are really obsessed with cats? I mean, I've never been around here before, but literally everyone has a cat? Isn't that a little too much?"
Ryota tucks into his food, yum. The food is good. Thing about cats is - they are sociable creatures, however they prefer doing their hunting during twilight hours. During broad daylight they are normally surveying their domains or having a snooze, either way they are out of view, mostly. All these cats hanging around has me all aquiver with curiosity. What is going on, I wonder? When we are done I'm going to find out if there is any magic around here...
You feel restored after finishing your meal. As you stand up to leave, Berkle comes to your table "just so you know, Hammer had a litter not long ago" he points to the beige cat that accompanies him "I would be honored if any of you feels like adopting a kitten."
"Glad to hear that you would consider my stablishment for supper today." The dwarf smiles "I'll make sure to have it ready when you come back."
Most people seem to be working this afternoon. Near the city center you see a strong human boy, maybe ten years of age, swinging a stick at some bushes. With him walks the biggest house cat you have seen in Selpt. "I don't recognize you, and I'm very good with faces" the child says "I'm Belrrey, but everyone calls me Bely. This is Scratches, he's the meanest cat in town." Soon the child realizes that the three of you don't have cats "you should get a cat too! Scratches saved me from a monster just after I found this shiny girl hat and put it on him." The cat purrs at the sound of his name, he's wearing a jeweled tiara that does not go with his personality. "Everyone should get a cat to protect them!"
Freyja leans forward. "How exactly can a cat save you from a monster? I've fought monsters; they're bigger and, except for maybe Scratches, meaner than cats."
"We were exploring some ruins, the ones my mum says are haunted." Bely answers "and we found a tunnel. The girly hat was in the tunnel and I put it on Scratches because it makes him look so silly, hahaha." He pauses for a moment and gets more serious "the monster was inside the tunnel, it wanted to eat but I couldn't see it closely because my head started to hurt. But then Scratches hissed at the monster and it left us alone. Now I'm trying to convince everyone that they should get a cat for protection. You should get cats too!"
"The ruins are not far that way" he points away from the village "I can get there running without stopping to rest. My mum didn't like me going, but I'm strong now and Scratches can help me. The monster looked like gooey bubbles and ropes, but it was dark inside the tunnel." He is getting frustrated now "but you should listen to me and get a cat! All cats here are looking up to Scratches, I think he is the king of cats now, and he wants you to get cats too."
Bely smiles "yay! I knew you would understand, come this way." He leads you back to a building in the town square, where a few cats roam the front yard. "Scratches says that the cats here are willing to go with you."
There are 8 cats here, Bely knows their names and lets you pick any that seems willing to go with you.

O how delightful, Berkle. A basket full of kittens. Say after tea or closer to supper? We'd like to look around some more, if we may.
Ryota gives Mama Cat a head rub (purr). To his companions, quietly - crumbs, I'm going to need a nap in order to change spells.....

Oh? Ruins, you say? tell us more, please =)
Freyja leans forward. "Yes. I'm certainly interested in seeing this monster that is so afraid of kittens."

"Sounds like something we should check out." Ryo remarks, he looks at the little boy, "where can we get cats? For protection, you know."
Ryo, I'm getting the feeling they want us to have a cat. What do you say?
Ryo nods, with a bright smile, "let's get some cats!"
Lead on, young gentleman, lead us to your protectors...
Bely smiles "yay! I knew you would understand, come this way." He leads you back to a building in the town square, where a few cats roam the front yard. "Scratches says that the cats here are willing to go with you."

”Hey cupcake, looks like we are buddy-buddy now.”
