Essie purred, "Thank you!" She said in reply to his compliment on her housefolk as the two ate their fill, "I'm sure your housefolk was wonderful." The molly meowed quietly, nuzzling his shoulder comfortingly. She then returned to her meal, letting the strange flavors dance through her mouth. "Of course not. It is one of the highest of honors." Essie said regally. She then lead him through her abode, where she ate of course, her favorite place to watch the birds from a window, where her housefolk slept, "And this is my bed." The molly said meaningfully, gesturing to the large, lush, bed her housefolk had provided for her. @Constellation
