[Beau scooped the cat up with one arm and held him against her chest while eyeing Professor Thaddrus. The owl started down at the cat before nipping the monk's ear and launching himself into the air.
"Ow, you fuck!" Beau checked to see if there was blood but thankfully the owl was just expressing his displeasure about the cats. Eh, he'd get over it; he got over Maaptia and Anya's dog (which Beau still called Fluffy).
"Yeah, come visit. Gamble your gold away while you're at it."
Oh, well, the thing is, I don't have very good luck with casinos.
[Not because she sucks at gambling--she does, but that's not the point--but because she always gets kicked out. Mostly because she keeps trying to game the system (aka, cheat). Sugar decides he'd rather ride on Keyleth's shoulders and crawls up to mew at his brother and then make a small growling noise at the Professor.]
I might! I mean it's not like I'm doing much else with it. I'll have to see if Percy wants to come too. [It's tradition at this point, her and Percy rolling up into casinos arm in arm.
The cats have their own dedicated space in the shelter, and Keyleth gets a little carboard box for transport and starts gathering up the twins favorite toys and little bag of the treats she made for all the animals. The rest of the cats are mostly lazing in patches of sunlight with very little concern, though a few hop down and circle Keyleth's legs while meowing for food.]
[Beau trailed along, petting the cat that she already couldn't remember if it's name was Sugar or Salt. She might have to, like, get one a ribbon or something.]
Everyone's welcome. And I know Percy has plenty of gold to lose too. Vex sometimes comes by.
[You have Salt, Beau. Keyleth is holding Sugar. Maybe get them name tags or different colored collars if you care enough to tell them apart.]
Wow, really? Vex willingly parts with gold? [Are you sure?? Keyleth lets Sugar hang out on her shoulder while she packs up the cardboard box.] Okay, I think that's it.
[She sighs a little and gently coaxes Sugar off of her shoulder so she can give him some cuddles and kisses before she puts him in the box, then holds out her hands to take Salt from Beau and give him the same treatment.] Bye guys. I'm gonna miss you.
Pretty sure Vex thinks she'll win more - sometimes she does - but usually ends up losing what all she brought with her trying to get more. [Like most greedy people that think they can always win.]
[ That probably wouldn't last, as much of a gold hoarder as Vex was. If she looses all of her money what will she and Percy have uncomfortable but expensive sex on top of? Keyleth gives the kitten one last kiss on the top of the head and puts him in the box with his brother (then nudges the one already inside back down as he was attempting to escape) and carefully closes the box up. It has little air holes, don't worry. They'll be fine until Beau gets them to the boat. ]
Well. Here you go. Take good care of them, please.
Definitely. Hopefully the Professor won't too much grief...hopefully they won't do the same to him.
[She grinned.] That's a good idea! Though they won't care what you call them. They're cats. They come when it suits them. You guys be good okay?
[Keyleth stuck her finger into one of the air holes and giggles with delight when it was promptly attacked.] Yeah, this'll work out good. Mice of the ship, beware.
He'll probably be more pissed off than usual until he realizes the cats are staying. I just need to train him that they aren't food. He'll eat anything smaller than him, which can be a pain to deal with. But we'll figure it out.
[Beau chuckled at the giggle and talked to the cats.] Alright, let's vet you to your new home. I don't want you in this box too long.

Most people don't. It's kind of the point of them, you know. Have fun losing your money.
