It is now your problem, young one! I have seen the way he looks at you. Trust me, you don’t want that. shivers, claws digging into the ground
Because he’s dangerous, unstable even! One wrong move and he’ll snap! You think you’re safe, but you’re not! I’ve seen him grab other animals before! I don’t want him to get his filthy hands on you!
ok. let's go hide again. sigh this day started okay with some sun on my back.
Quick, behind that stack of crates! pushes mulem behind cover Stay quiet. Don’t make a sound, no matter what. Let me handle this.
Shh! Be still, young one! We need to wait until the coast is clear. presses a paw against her lips, signaling silence
I'm 4 years old. Can I talk now?
Oh, please! Not now! Just stay quiet and let me handle this. glares at mulem, ears flattened in annoyance

leans forward, peering through a gap in the crates The human is right there, by the dumpster! He’s talking to someone. whispers urgently
ugh. walks over, looking like the worlds most cute dog. who's a good kitty? Meow meow, do you have any treats for me? Do you want to pet me, so fluffy
snarls lowly, stepping between mulem and the human Back off, hooman! This kitten belongs to me! Don't you dare touch them!
Ok mom. Mommy doesn't like you calling me kitten.
<Whiskerella successfully protects mulem from the threatening human, keeping them safe>
You don’t know the half of it, young one. That human was trouble. But we got away. For now. crouches down, inspecting mulem for injuries
Too bad you can't teach me how to talk like humans. i stick my tongue out adn start licking whiskerella's ear
purrs and pushes mulem away gently Enough, young one! We have more important things to worry about than human languages.
your purrs so much better.
Thank you, little one. Now, listen carefully. We need to find a new hiding spot. That human knows where we live. We can't go back there.
