"I would recommend caution still, Mistress."

"Noted."

But Ellie wants to pet the kitty. She steps out from behind Jade and begins to approach.

Permalink

Mrow!

This kitty wants to be petted! 

Permalink

It has been slightly more than two hundred and ten years since Ellie has pet a cat! She has a lot of time to make up for.

Permalink

Yes good, right under the chin...

Permalink

Scritchy scritchy!

Permalink

The cat headbutts her and then flops for more snuggles and pats.

Permalink

Ellie made a friend!

Permalink

...Sigh.

"I suppose we're keeping her, Mistress?"

Permalink

"It seems cruel to leave her," Ellie agrees.

Permalink

Headbutt purr.

Permalink

"She doesn't appear to be in poor health... But it is exceptionally dangerous to be out alone."

Permalink

"Do you wanna come with us, kitty?"

Permalink

Affirmative meow!

Permalink

"Can I pick you up, kitty?"

Permalink

"Meow!"

That's probably an approving noise? She's still purring, too.

Permalink

Purrrrrrrr!

Permalink

Awwww happy kitty. (Happy Ellie.)

She looks to Jade. "Let's keep going."

Permalink

Nod.

The road is pretty significantly torn up beneath their feet - power lines long down, some across the road - but they're passing signs of life. Scraggly bushes with orange foilage, and a few enormous dead rats shortly off the road - surrounded by a cloud of insects - 

And two human corpses on the side of the road, as they come into sight of Concord proper.

Not very - they haven't decayed much, though. They're just stiff, and covered in bugs. (Including three extremely oversized Evil Mosquitoes that start buzzing threateningly - that is, until Jade shoots them dead.)

"...We used to just use bug spray."

"The radiation has had... Interesting effects on organics."
