Adia lovingly scoops up the soft brown tabby. "Caspar, look," she half-whispers. "She's so beautiful." She actually doesn't know for sure if the cat is female, but the orange eyes remind her of stories of Circe, sorceress and daughter of Helios, who supposedly had flashing golden eyes.

The kitten snuggles happily in Adia's hands. When Caspar gently strokes along one of its stripes, it begins to purr, its otherworldly eyes shutting to a content squint.

"She is," Caspar agrees quietly. That gentle smile doesn't leave his face until he looks over at Hermione curiously. "This kitten is part kneazle, too? Anything different about raising her versus a regular cat?"
