"Ehrm... Actually it was just right after her little incident with the bandit gang she was running with. She... kind of left them after her own moral standards clashed with theirs. I think you know the rest. Khajiit certainly doesn't want to remind herself of the details. Anywho, with nowhere to go Rikki found Cat sitting by the canal outside the Ratway. It was obvious that the Breton had been in some kind of trouble and Rikki thought that maybe she could be of help somehow. As you can imagine how Cat is, the least thing she wanted was help. She pushed people away from her because she believed them all to be full of prejudice against her and her eerie abilities. But Rikki was able to see through that. She couldn't see a girl angry at everyone around her for not understanding. Rikki could see a girl in desperate need for a friend, yet didn't want to admit that in fear it would make her look weak for whatever reason."

The Khajiit snickered. "When Cat got up and left after some attempts on Rikki's behalf to cheer her up, Rikki followed her. Apparently Cat found this very annoying, whilst Rikki found it amusing because she could see how much Cat repelled the idea of finally having someone who wanted to be her friend. Someone who did not fear her. Of course Rikki didn't know back then just what sort of powers Cat had in store, and maybe if Cat had tried to scare her off with those from the start Rikki might never have become friend with her. But she didn't. And so Khajiit continued to follow Cat around, up until the point where Cat shoved Rikki into the canal. She got poor Rikki's fur all wet! So this one repaid her kind, by clutching onto her heel and draggin Cat down with her."

Rikki smiled at the memory. "After much cursing from Cat, Rikki offered her a place to dry and a place to stay for the night. While it was meant to only be for one night, it eventually turned into a more permanent stay. Rikki was being quite friendly and Cat was being... well... Cat... Though eventually she started to warm up to this one when she slowly started to realise that Rikki was a good Khajiit, yes? Rikki had no intention to exploit her or use her in any way. And even when Cat told Rikki of her powers and even demonstrated them, she showed no fear."

The Khajiit made a grimace. "Well, there was that first night in which she accidentally summoned a large head of an albino minotaur into this one's bed, but this one recovered and came to show respect for Cat and her gift. Eventually we came room-mates and Cat even started to learn how to smile for once. And then..."

Rikki blushed. "We became bedmates. It started with just an innocent kiss and ended up with us holding each other in Rikki's bed. To be honest, Khajiit believes Cat just felt insecure and wanted someone close by her side, but this one didn't complain."

Rikki then turned somber again as she suddenly reminded herself that Cat was no longer there with her. "And that's why Rikki has to get her back. For Rikki's sake..." She threw a glance at Pierre. "And... for your sake..."
