[Text] Maybe some help?

[reluctantbastard]

So, how many people got those snow leopard things on Selvin-9?

What did you name them? I'm having a difficult time because this is the first time I've had anything like a pet. Um, I think it's a male.

Any suggestions?

[He didn't pick the cat. It picked him. He just got resigned to the fact that he's a cat owner now. Stop judging him!]

Personal to me? That's why I have trouble with it. I'm rather boring to be honest.

And I can't really name it after any gods or goddesses. I mean, Thedosians really only have one God. Unless we're talking about the Dalish, but I'm not that familiar with their Creator Gods.

Well, there has to be something important to you, right?

Unless you really are as boring as you look.

[reluctantbastard]

Wow, you're a pleasant one. And of course there's something and someone important to me, even here. I'm not going to insult my wife by naming something that licks itself after her.

[If Rose thought of herself as a cat, she would be deeply insulted by that comment. But she doesn't, and so she's only mildly annoyed.]

Understandable, but there must be something else you care about. Somewhere you often went when you were younger, or a character from a novel you enjoyed.

Unless you spent your entire childhood watching paint dry.

[That's too bad because Alistair watches their Mabari and this Snow Leopard lick themselves in intimate places all the time. It's sorta gross.]

I spent a great deal of my childhood in a stable. Thank you for bringing up painful memories.

[Wow, that's certainly something she didn't expect. Maybe she should walk it back and apologize?]

That's unfortunate.

[No. But at least she didn't make a joke about him being raised in a barn?]

How about something you care about now? Something that isn't your wife?

[reluctantbastard]

There are people and things I care about now, certainly, other than my wife. None of them seem really proper to name a cat after though.

[poisontippedcure]

Then what is the cat like? Are they friendly? Shy?

[reluctantbastard]

Lazy. Demanding. Imperious. A stalker. If it was female, I'd just name it after Morrigan, but she turned into a wolf, not a cat.
