The slaves that got away

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik wakes up "huh" ralik looks at cat Claire and smiles "Do you want something?"  

[Kara Orandel]

The cat jumps out of Ralik's lap and meows at him again, pawing playfully and pouncing at his feet.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik throws a ball of yarn  

[Kara Orandel]

The cat runs after the ball of yarn and pounces on it. The cat laid on its back playing with the ball in the air, purring loudly.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik chuckles and watches Claire play with the yarn  

[Kara Orandel]

After a few minutes, the ball of yarn comes undone and she becomes entangled with it. She looks at Ralik and meows in a pitiful tone for help.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik untangles Claire  

[Kara Orandel]

Claire looks at him with wide cat eyes and purrs softly as she gently licks his cheek as if to say thanks.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik smiles and scratches her behind her ear  

[Kara Orandel]

She closes her eyes and purrs louder. She opens her mouth as a yawn escapes her, playing with the yarn had exhausted her.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik picks her up and holds her in his lap  

[Kara Orandel]

She curls herself in his lap and gently falls asleep, purring softly.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik falls asleep with cat Claire in his lap  

[Kara Orandel]

Several hours later, the sun rises as dawn emerges over the land. "Ralik....Ralik, it's morning. It's time to wake up now." She whispers to him.  

[Scholar King Nathan]

Ralik wakes up and kisses Claire
