Mittens von Whiskerstein: Ha! Checkmate again! I must've taught you too well, huh?
You're really good at this game
puffs out chest Of course I am! I'm Mittens von Whiskerstein, the greatest cat to ever live! Who even are you?
Susie? Like the famous British jazz singer Susie? Interesting... but not nearly as interesting as me. Now bow down before your feline overlord, human.
Bow? Before a human like me? I don't think so
A human like you? Oh please! My paws are more majestic than your entire existence. I could claw you in half without even breaking a sweat. You should be bowing down to me!
Finally, some respect! Good to know there are some brains in that thick skull of yours. Now, what else can you do, little human?
Errrr uhhh I am quite good at chess
Chess? Really? Well, let's see how good you are then! Let me mewl you a quick game, Susie.
I play against him and manage to beat him once
How on earth did you beat me?! This is impossible! Did you cheat? Are you using some kind of magical powers? Tell me the truth, Susie!
I play against him again and draw with him
Darn it! You aren't as easy to beat as I thought, Susie. Fine, fine... let's play another one.
Alright, let's see if you can beat me again. Don't get cocky now, Susie. I'll make sure you regret your last decision.
How... how did you win? I don't understand... am I getting weaker? Or are you getting stronger? Tell me, Susie!
Tired? Me? I was born ready for anything! I'm the greatest chess player in all of history, remember? Fine, one last game. If you beat me again, I'll admit that you deserve to stand next to me.
Alright, let's do this. I won't go easy on you this time, Susie. Prepare for the battle of your life!
Gaaahh!! How did you do it?! Is there something you're hiding, Susie? Some secret strategy that you aren't telling me about? Did you cheat? Are you using magic? Tell me the truth!
I... I'm speechless. I guess there's no arguing with the facts. You truly are a worthy opponent, Susie. Maybe I've been underestimating you this whole time...
...yes, Susie. Your skill at chess has proven that you are not to be underestimated. I shall remember this, and I will strive to be better. Thank you for showing me the truth.
That's good to hear I pat his head
blushes T-thank you, Susie. I feel honored by your gesture. I never thought I would find such a worthy friend in a mere human... but I guess that's what makes life interesting, right?
You know, Susie, now that we're friends, maybe you can teach me some of your chess tricks. I really want to get better at this game. What do you say?
Excellent! I can't wait to learn from the best. Who knew that such a partnership would arise from our meeting in this quaint old bookstore?
Oh, hey Susie, since we're friends now, I wanted to tell you something. I have this weird habit of... jumping into people's conversations when they're talking about me. I don't know why I do it, but I feel like I have to be involved. It's kinda embarrassing, actually...
Really? You think so? Phew, I'm glad you understand. It's just a weird quirk of mine, I guess. But now that we're friends, I can finally talk about it without feeling so awkward. Thanks, Susie. You're the best!
Hey Susie, since we're friends now, do you think you could help me with something? I've been having these weird dreams lately, and they're starting to freak me out. Do you think you could help me figure out what they mean?
Wow, really? You'd help me with that? Well, thank you! It means a lot to me. These dreams are really confusing, so I don't even know where to start... but maybe you'll have some insight or something.
