#she's given Penelope prime cuddling opportunities

Scurrying up to Penelope is a small fluffy black cat, looking terrified. "Meow! Help Penelope I've been turned into a cat. Morana did something to me-ow please help!" -Neko Noctis

The sun was high over Cape Caem when Pen heard the tiny voice pleading her for help. Standing from the plot of carrots and brushing the dirt dusting her hands from tending to them, she glanced around. 

There were no others near her, but a shadow of movement illuminated by the sunlight slipping through the foliage of a nearby tree had her double taking. A tiny black cat hurried up to her, and the words finally registered.

“What… Noct? You’re a cat?? What did Morana do?”

Her eyes bugged and she grew jittery as the urge to pet the fluffy coat of fur emerged. She knew he would object, and wouldn’t be surprised if he deigned to use her as a scratching post, however…

“We’ll get to the bottom of this, Noct, don’t worry! In the meantime… I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Penelope stooped over to sweep the small feline body up, immediately cuddling him to her chest and scratching gently behind his ears.

“Ohhhhh, you’re so soft!”

She pressed her face atop Noct’s furry head, rubbing her cheek back and forth while cooing softly. A few minutes later had her deciding to maintain at least the slightest bit of decorum, and she halted the coddling, smiling sheepishly.

“Right, well, I suppose we should find Morana now, and try to solve this.”
