Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

Moore's used to this with Wood, after all, so he will simply stay there with the cat for now.

[Anastasia]

The cat is warm in your arms and purrs away. He's a feline ball of contentment in your arms until he says, "You have nice hands."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says. "What's your name?"

He scratches the cat behind its ears.

[Anastasia]

"Meow," The cat replies, "I like that name." Then with a whirl he hops out of your arms and trots ahead, "Come on, let's go play over here!" He heads right into Rapture, across the bridge and over.

[Nephrite]

Moore dutifully keeps up with Meow!

[Anastasia]

Meow leads you to a shadowed alley and in a back door. Here a large, warm tavern is full of cats. Cats by the fireplace and hearth, cats on the tables, cats on sunbeams from the windows. Hundreds of cats are here, at play and at rest. Mostly rest, the majority napping.

One feline in particular overlooks them all. A black panther larger than a warhorse sits near the heart, green eyed gaze always over the other cats. Meow hops onto a table and curls up immediately in a sunbeam, while the panther's gaze is fully on you.

[Nephrite]

The last time Moore met with a panther it wasn't Sharess but I think an agent of hers. Am I able to tell if this is her?

[Anastasia]

It doesn't feel like a deity, but it's certainly possible she's suppressing.

It is a form she'd possibly take.

[Nephrite]

Moore bows his head respectfully. "Thank you for seeing me."

[Anastasia]

"What did you do this time?" The feline asks, smoothly rising to her feet and pacing towards you. "This has become altogether too common lately."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "Aurora set me on the right path. I'm simply here to thank you and yours for your support to them. I wouldn't be who I am now without them, and your hand in constantly aiding us."

[Anastasia]

The black panther rises, all sinuous motion and grace. The panther yawns before stretching and then, "Mrrrr. Perhaps my own kitty-cat from Aurora needs to pay attention to this, if Ao accepted you."

[Nephrite]

"I owe a great deal of my diplomatic skills for slaad to her." Moore says, with a smile. "As well as a few other anarch tricks. Please consider this an open invitation for you and yours to visit Hope's Landing if you ever wish to, as well as for anyone in need of my assistance. I owe you a great debt from my history with Aurora that I don't think can be repaid by actions or time, so know that if you have any need, I will be there to aid you."

[Anastasia]

"There is one thing you can do now," Sharess agrees. She comes forward and butts her head against you lightly, purring.

[Nephrite]

"I wouldn't ever be able to live it down if I refused." Moore says as he gives a proper amount of attention to the Lady of Cats and some good pets and headscratching.
