Greetings! Gale of Waterdeep, at your service. Many of you may recall that some months back, there was rat trouble in port and aboard many of the ships, and a number of bold riftfarers were kind enough to adopt some highly-trained Warrior Cats to help combat the issue. Some of my crewmates were among them, but have unfortunately left us in recent months, and so I find myself with more cats than I know what to do with.

While I certainly have the space, I am coming and going too frequently to give all of these animals the attention they are due, and truth be told, I don't think that Tara is keen to share me for much longer. If anyone has any interest in adopting either Frostbite or Pumpkinpatch, I assure you they are both quite affectionate and will make excellent companions, in addition to earning their keep by keeping pests at bay. Frostbite is especially fond of feathered toys, while Pumpkinpatch prefers those that jingle.

[Sometime later, a second message from Gale's username will appear, only this time it's a video message with an extreme close-up of a long-haired calico. When she speaks, her voice is equal parts motherly and refined, as well as miffed.]

I would like to clarify that I do not appreciate being depicted as the jealous sort! It is only that these cats seem to think themselves terribly important, and fail to recognize that I am not one of them, but a wizard in my own right! I am a dedicated student of the Weave, and do not have time to be mothering these eager young cubs when I've my own research to attend to. Hmph.

Nanaki! A pleasure to meet you. Your efforts are quite admirable; I'm certain that others must appreciate it, as well. I don't think I've ever seen an establishment of its like where I come from.

[There are strays just about everywhere in every city, and certainly people who take in more than the average family, but most of them are simply allowed to wander.]

[feralhumanity]

Ah, well, I am merely trying to do what I can. There are plenty of creatures who do not need to be hunted the way they are, and a surprising amount who have already offered both their time and skills to helping the sanctuary. Though it's a new establishment, we have a few residents that call it home already.

[There's some pride in his voice, and the way his tail swishes behind him helps emphasize that.]

[netherese]

It sounds like you're off to an excellent start already! Though these little friends may find more permanent homes sooner rather than later, I would still very much like to visit and offer my support how I can. I am terribly fond of animals.

[Especially cats, if it wasn't obvious.]

[feralhumanity]

Of course. If they're able to find a more suitable home, then all the better. But I have no problem helping them in the meantime.

You're welcome to come by whenever you wish. I can even give you a tour, if you wish.

[netherese]

You're very kind, thank you. I will certainly take you up on that tour when the opportunity arises— sooner rather than later, I should think.

[Naturally, he has to support such noble work!]

In the meantime, if I encounter anyone else who knows of some animals in need, I know precisely where to direct them.

[feralhumanity]

Excellent. I'll look forward to hearing back from you in the future.

[And he means it, he'll offer a personal tour of the conservatory.]
