She nods to their statements, glancing into the bag at the 'salt shaker' as she picks it up. "Alrighty then...". She glances at Grant as she slips the bag into a large side pocket of her purse. "You got any requests in the snack department? Or anything that you really hate or can't eat?"

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

"Cats are no trouble if bitties are large enough to stand fairly equal to them. so i'd recommend some of the larger birds, nagas, or blasters in that case." Dr. Tahoma adjusted his own glasses and gave a small smile, "We even have one blaster bitty type that is feline in nature, if you'd prefer as well."

[kateaoc]

Shs chuckles, impressed. "Very nice. And a good way t'try'n approach things....money and bosses permittin'" Kate flashes a 'whatcha gonna do' expression before giving the box another once over. "May be we can look at makin' or findin' some sort of curtain or the like so you can have a bit more privacy..." she muses, obviously already running through plans and ideas of what could or should be done to better ensure her new housemate's comfort and safety. "But....yeah...So's that everything , then?". She looks up at the doctor inquisitively. "Anything else we need t'do? Or..." - She tilts her head so she can just make out the skeleton on her shoulder from the corner of her eye - "is there anything else you need right away tonight, or is there some place that you'd like me t'try'n stop on the way back to the house?"

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

"Ah, looks nice and cozy," she says with a small smile. "Safe too. I don't think the furbeasts will bug yah anyway, but this better puts me at ease..." She studies the box a moment before asking, "It hooks up to a normal power outlet for the lamp? And is the furniture itself bolted in place then?"

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

The forms filled out, Kate sets them down on the counter and returns her gaze to the doctor, appearing impressed. "Well, glad t'hear it," she comments. "There are way too many 'adoption agencies what seem hell-bent on flouting the few laws on the books." She shakes her head slightly as she stands back. She then looks over at the box...

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

Kate sees the section Grant described and scans it over just as the Doctor returns. "Good t'know," she muses before flashing a brief smile of greeting to the tall skeleton. "Alrighty... So, the check-in - we just need t'drop in again here in a month, yeah?" she inquires as she casually fills out the requisite blanks and scrawls out a messy but distinct signature.

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

"Mm...." She turns and fans out the papers so he can better see them. "Looks like about what I'd expect - don't be an amoral arse, just written in legalese - but is there anything specific I should be aware of, y'think?". She chuckles a bit before adding, "'course I doubt -this- place would be inserting nasty little clauses about selling data, forced arbitration, and so on... But still. Old habits...."

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

She hms in acknowledgement as the doctor departs, before leaning over and squinting at the paper a moment.... Before giving up and pulling a glasses case from her purse with a huff. "I prolly need t'undergo another blast of corrective sight surgery," she grumbles as she puts the frames on. "I got my eyes 'fixed' back when they still had t'cut the lens to apply the laser...'cept th' cuttin' part didn't go accordin' to plan. Ruddy machine popped a gasket midway... I can still usually see well enough - better for sure than before the procedure where I couldn't tell a wall from a stairwell but..." She sighs and, despite the help of the glasses, has to hold the presumed contract up close so she can more easily make out the words. "Fine print... Pretty sure it's the pride and joy of some Prince of Hell" she mutters.

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

Dr. Tahoma adjusted his own glasses and gave a small smile, "We even have one blaster bitty type that is feline in nature, if you'd prefer as well."

[kateaoc]

Kate nods, careful not to jostle Grant. "Seems so..." she says cheerfully. "But...well, here's hopin' I don't drive the poor guy crazy with all my quirks and bad habits," she quips.

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

((no worries! You also have multiple threads while I just need to remember the one.))

"Gotcha," she nods before lifting him up to her shoulder and keeping her hand there until he gives her the all clear.

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

She blinks at the skeleton man still sitting on the flat of her hand. "Y'mean on my shoulder or such?" she asks.

((I believe she picked him up earlier and is leaning against a wall for stability with him in her left hand, the right hand mostly helping to hold the other steady but sometimes gesticulating etc.))

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

Kate slightly cocks her brow again at his statement but shrugs. "Hehe. Well, alright then!" she says, though she still doesn't move towards the front, glancing back again at the enclosure, where his teacup has just stopped steaming. "Didja need t'grab anything from your, er, quarters or whatever? Clothes? Coat? Medications? Glasses?". She squints a bit. "Tryin' t' think of everything I'm always forgettin' when I'm on a trip... Oh! Craft equipment, since y'sew and all?"

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

Dr. Tahoma adjusted his own glasses and gave a small smile, "We even have one blaster bitty type that is feline in nature, if you'd prefer as well."

[kateaoc]

She smiles but gives him a serious look. "If you're sure y'wanna take a chance on me... then ....yeah, I am down for that! S'long as you don't mind me not being the neatest person, and don't mind a couple furry footstools runnin' about ...well, I think we could get along pretty well! ....though, 'fore you sign anything with fine print, did you want or need t'know anything else 'bout me or the livin' situation? ....like..." She pauses, frowning slightly....then clearly irritated, rubs the bridge of her nose with the hand not holding Grant. "Ugh. like, for instance, y'should prolly know my name....which I shoulda stated earlier, but...

... ...it's Katherine by the way. Katherine Connors. ....But you can call me Kate. Or Kat. Or whatever. ...just...not Kathy, please. ...i'm a bit tired of folks making bad references to an obnoxious old comic strip character....."

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

The woman regards him with a genuine smile. "Heh, no kiddin'. My place isn't a palace, but it is pretty quiet. After all, it's pretty much just me and the cats..." Her expression grows more thoughtful, pensive even, as she glanced over at the enclosure in which he had been living before turning her gaze back to him. "Now, that said, if you'd be wanting some company other than my own... I mean, I can't imagine you would..but....." She exaggerates her statement in a clearly sarcastic manner before returning to a more serious mood. "If you have some friend or fam'ly you'd not want t'leave...".

She trails off, regarding him calm but carefully, hoping she hasn't inadvertently opened some old wound... She knows that most Sans derivatives have a papyrus derivative to match...but at a glance, at least, she sees no other soul that would seem to fit the description....and with Grant being s survivor of an abusive battle ring....

....of course, those who survive the ring might have deep bonds with their fellows - blood of the covenant and all that.

While she's more than happy with her solitary new acquaintance, she also doesn't want him to feel as though he needs to abandon anyone important to him that she has not yet met....

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

Dr. Tahoma adjusted his own glasses and gave a small smile, "We even have one blaster bitty type that is feline in nature, if you'd prefer as well."

[kateaoc]

She regards him with a kind if bemused smile, one brow quirked upwards. "D'you give lessons here in th' shop? Or are you thinkin' somethin' more one-on-one back at my place?' she asks playfully, though the real question - is he offering to take a chance on life with her? - is obvious.

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

She glanced over his meticulously ordered garments with a small grin. "Would I be right in guessin' you do your own tailorin' then? Gotta say it's not a skill I have quite yet, but I've been lookin' t'add it to my too-long list of hobbies..."

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

At his comment about memory, she smiles and nods knowingly but doesn't interrupt. When he pauses a moment later, she chuckles gently. "Well, I dunno I'm particularly interestin' either t'be honest," she admits. "I mean, the most excitin' thing I've done in the past month 'sides come in here is finally finish sortin' my embroidery threads! ....Oh, and try a new choc'late pie recipe usin' phyllo dough for the crust... Livin' on the edge an' all, y'know."

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"

[kateaoc]

She looks slightly puzzled. "Ms. Dumpling? Ah, I don't think I met her, though Dr. Tahoma was very kind and helpful... Well, regardless.....". She pauses to think, expression thoughtful. "As for why nothin' has been sparkin' this far, well... I don't know it's any one thing in particular, but more the lack of any sort of intrinsic connection. Not t'sound all "woo woo" crazy crystal lady an' all, but I know from experience that the best relationships just sort of....happen... Y'meet, someone starts talkin', and it's like runnin' into an old friend. Silly, I suppose but my few lasting friendships have always been like that. ....my closest relationship with cats for that matter... But point is, no one else here has shown much interest in me, and I haven't felt any pull towards anyone here that would have me strikin' up the conversation first... I mean, you're the first here t'really start a conversation with me of your own accord..."

The woman turns sharply at his voice, but then smiles, a bit nervous. "Ah yeah! I mean, if anyone clicks with me...". She shoves the glasses onto her head, sharp grey eyes anxiously meeting his eyelights. "I do wanna state up front that I have a couple kitties, though, if that's a problem...?"
