"i think you guys will get along just fine." master said, his voice light and chipper. "johanna is a very nice woman, and rainey is a very sweet kitty. i think you'll love them."

nana listened silently as she trotted down the hall alongside master. they were on their way to her first playdate, with master's neighbor's pet. she was a little nervous, she had to admit. she'd never really interacted with other pets before, besides maybe her siblings back when she was a puppy. but that was so long ago, she didn't really remember it at all. so, for all intents and purposes, this was a completely new experience for her.

but, master seemed so sure that it would be good for her. that she'd do well with a friend. and she wanted to believe him.

the woman who answered the door was tall and lithe, almost as tall as master. she was johanna, according to master's introduction. she smiled at nana and knelt down to scratch behind her ears, so nana decided she liked her already.

"rainey is probably off in a corner somewhere." johanna said, with an apologetic smile. "she's a little shy. feel free to go look for her!"

so, look for her she did.

johanna's apartment was about the same size as master's, so there wasn't too much ground for her to cover. she was sniffing around the hallway when she saw it - a pair of eyes staring at her from the darkness inside the hallway closet.

she simply stared back for a few moments, unsure of what to do. then, she nudged the door open a bit more, letting a bit more light into the tiny space.

rainey - or at least nana assumed this was rainey - was a lot smaller than she expected. small enough to be curled up in the hallway closet and not look cramped. nana was almost envious, until she remembered that wedging herself into small, obscure spaces wasn't something she tended to do anymore.

but beyond her general size, there was a lot about rainey that made nana stop and pause. her wavy, chestnut brown hair and cute feline ears, her long, swishing tail, her pretty gold eyes staring back at nana with a mix of apprehension and curiosity. she felt like an idiot, just sitting and staring like that, but she just couldn't help herself.

rainey didn't move, simply continuing to stare silently. so, nana did the only thing she could think of - flopped onto her side and exposed her belly. a gesture of trust.

rainey blinked at her. then slowly, cautiously, slinked out of the closet. she sniffed at nana's hair and face, then sat back on her haunches, seemingly satisfied. her body language was much less tense, at least.

nana rolled back onto her hands and knees, tail wagging happily. she... didn't quite know what to do next, so she assumed she'd just let rainey take the lead.

and that seemed to work out for her. rainey took a few steps down the hall, then glanced back at nana, as if asking her to follow, which she eagerly did.

rainey led her into the apartment's laundry room. the washing and drying machines were stacked in one corner, while the rest of the room was clearly rainey's space. there was a soft and somewhat worn pet bed near the center of the room - right in the path of the beam of sunlight coming from the window high up on the wall. a mat with a water bowl was up against the far wall, along with a scratching post and a basket of toys.

nana looked around the room appreciatively. she glanced into the toy basket, finding small plush mice, feather toys, a rubber ball with a bell inside, and a ball of red yarn. she suddenly had an idea.

as careful as she could, she leaned down and gripped the handle of the feather toy between her teeth, and turned back towards rainey. the catgirl looked at her curiously.

nana shook the toy, making the little bells attached to it jingle, and rainey leapt into action, pupils dilating as she excitedly batted at the ball of feathers. she was so enthusiastic, in fact, that nana was having a bit of a hard time keeping up.

she was able to keep the toy out of rainey's reach for a little while, but she just wasn't as limber or spry as a cat, on top of her impaired eyesight, she just couldn't see or react in time to rainey jumping at the toy from her left. the two collided, sprawling out on the ground.

nana let go of the feather toy, panting, but oddly happy. rainey padded over to her and nudged against her face until she got back up, then ambled over to her bed and curled up near the front, with plenty of space behind her. she looked at nana expectantly.

nana felt like her brain short circuited for a moment. she, a bit hesitantly, walked over and settled in behind rainey. she felt sort of tense, unsure of herself again, but rainey was pressed against her and purring like a freight train, nuzzling against her neck and chin, and eventually she felt herself starting to relax.

she never really fully fell asleep, but she did doze off for a while. it was a hard not to, tired from playing and with a comfortingly warm body in her arms.

"...probably in here." she was roused back to semiconsciousness some time later by the sound of voices speaking. she heard the door open, and blearily cracked her single eye open seeing master and johanna in the doorway, peeking in at them.

"well... they're getting along just fine." master laughed softly.
