She shifts a little, getting more comfortable, and sleeps.

Permalink

Half an hour later, Esca lifts his head as the door is opened, but lays back down when he's met with an inquisitive 'meow'.

Permalink

Shortly there after, two cats - Monarch and another - curl themselves into the space between Esca and Denice.

Permalink

She tenses, but doesn't wake.

Permalink

There's a light tap on her door a few hours later - probably about dinner time.

Permalink

She comes awake, squinting briefly and confusedly at the cats before turning her attention to the door. "Mrrr?"

Permalink

The non-Monarch cat lifts their head, blinks lazily at her, and then curls back up.

"I brought dinner," Angelique says, holding up the tray. "And also some CDs and a player. A few are music, and there's a couple of audio books as well."

Permalink

She seems about as enthusiastic about that as Angie's seen her be about anything.

Permalink

Angelique smiles warmly, putting the tray down, and bringing the CDs and player over. "I brought a mini speaker and a set of headphones," she explains. "Up to you which you use, both plug in here," she points to the socket.

Permalink

Her eyes lock onto the headphones as soon as they're visible, and she goes very tense; something is clearly wrong.

Permalink

Angelique notices, and immediately tucks the headphones away behind her, and plugs the speaker in. "I'm sorry," she says, sounding genuinely regretful. "Just the speaker then."

Permalink

Angelique chooses a random CD, and slots it into the player. "I'm not sure what's wrong," she says carefully, "although something obviously is. But the headphones obviously upset you, so we're going to just...not have them anywhere near you."

Permalink

She doesn't relax - tenses up slightly, if anything - but nods, once, jerkily.

Permalink

"Okay," Angelique says. "I'm going to leave you in peace. Dinner's there if you want it."

Permalink

This gets another nod. She doesn't look at the food; she's still very focused on Angelique.

Permalink

All Angelique does is leave, like she said she was going to.

Permalink

Esca shuffles a little closer.

Permalink

She holds out for a few seconds after Angie leaves, and then flops over and snuggles up to Esca; a few moments later, she's crying, sobbing as quietly as she can into his fur.

Permalink

He snuggles up against her, giving a quiet rumble.

Permalink

The cats shift obligingly to let her do this, but stay fairly close to her as well.
