Aksha basically flat-out ignored the cat at this point. She couldn’t think straight, anyways. She needed food, and she was tired of the Gembound’s company as it was. He could go ahead and leave if he wanted. She curled into a ball as he moved around her, and waited for him to leave. She’d been really bitchy. She knew that. But he was stupid. It was his fault. Her logical fallacy was as strong as ever. Everything she ever did was always someone else’s fault, no matter what. It was not yet known if she would ever grow out of this way of thinking. She was a baby still, and no one had taught her any morals.

With a groan, she got to her paws, wincing at the pounding in her head. She was starving. With a sigh, she began to sniff around for some plants to eat, or mice to catch. She wondered if a pang of fear how she was ever going to find her way back to Eridanus, but she pushed that thought from her mind. Food first. Panic later.
