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.

[OH MY GOODNESS A TALKING CAT AND SHE IS SO PRETTY GALE YOU HAVE BEEN HOLDING OUT ON HIM???]

...Well, I'd rather hate to see the research of a scholar interrupted, madam.

[TALKING! SCHOLAR! CAT!]

[ He replies almost as soon as the first message is sent off. So aware of the talking cat for the time being, but- ]

Unfortunately my hands are a bit full with a wolfhound, chocobo, and Jill's cat she had taken in from that very same skirmish.

But if it's help you need in the meantime until they are rehomed, I can offer my assistance.

[Tara's not the only animal replying to the messages. Soon enough Nanaki's face will take up the screen in reply.]

If you are needing a place to house these cats, I have recently opened a conservatory to help care for and house creatures in need of a home. Even if it's only temporarily until someone else finds a home for them, they could stay here and be welcomed.

[My, what a refined cat wizard. Joshua is entirely charmed. And this might be a good opportunity to introduce himself to Gale.]

While I'm unable to commit to caring for a cat at the moment, I genuinely hope they find loving homes soon.

It's disheartening to hear about your comrades' departures through the rifts. I hope all is well.

Hold a minute. Is that a cat that can talk?! I mean I have seen crazier shit back home but this is still pretty wild.

I think one cat is enough for me to deal with in mine and Power's apartment though sorry man. I'm more of a dog person to be honest.

[Daria saw the message and felt…off. She sat in her room in their far emptier house. Bramblesong laid on her lap while Footloose hung around her by her feet. She was growing so used to taking care of these cats whenever Gale or Tara were here or not. It felt like her duty with the others gone. It became even harder to stomach as time went on and people left.

It felt like the same hat was worn all over again, and it made her sick to her stomach.

The curse she held since she met him, and the desire for connection anyway…

She wanted to find Gale.

Daria left her room and walked down the hall to the stairs toward the kitchen. Judging from a smell, Gale seemed to still be home and in there. So.]
