New Bestest Pals!

Ren didn't even bother stifling his snort at Dorito's cat-got-the-cream-- pun so totally intended--, pleased attitude. The goblin had probably known somehow that her sister wasn't completely prepared for guests, and clearly enjoyed throwing Cheeto under the bus. Sure, he could certainly appreciate the amusement value-- he wouldn't hesitate to shove his own siblings head-first into such an embarrassing situation and seeing whether they sunk or swam--, but he didn't want a weepy female on his hands. And so, instead of outright chuckling at Cheeto's haphazard grasping at straws as she hurried to dress somewhat properly, as well as the girl's final appearance, he merely smiled indulgently, settling on the edge of the bed and glancing around the room once more. He did, however, roll his eyes lightly at Dorito's input.

"Yes, well, as much as I enjoy being a part of causing your sister embarrassment, I'd rather not upset her too much." He offered the more outgoing twin a toothy grin, soon returning his attention to the more introverted of the two. He tilted his head in thought as an idea occurred to him-- he had wanted to save the surprise for later, when they got to know each other a bit more and he was sure he wouldn't freak them out, but he felt a bit bad.

With a distinctly feline grin, he winked at the both of them before seamlessly shifting into his feline form, though there was, of course, the telltale silent poof, as oxymoronic as that was. In place of the 18-year-old boy was a medium-sized black cat. The cat was clearly not a kitten, but not quite as large as an adult cat could become. It was obvious that this feline was Ren, however, as vivid, poison green eyes stared at the goblin twins. "Meow~"

A soft purr began rumbling through his chest at the attention from Cheeto, easily cuddling with the affectionate female. Yes, this was what his cat form was made for-- that, and afternoon naps in the sun. Happily nuzzling Cheeto, he began kneading his paws against her stomach, black tail curling and uncurling behind him. His kitty heaven was interrupted by Dorito, though he merely offered her the universal pet look of 'I'm innocent!'. Once she, too, joined in the petting, though, his purring grew much louder as he wiggled around. Eventually, he settled down, soft breaths indicating that he had fallen asleep.

Ren's little black ears twitched a bit at the chatter between the twins, though he remained blissfully asleep, dreaming of whatever cats dream of. He retained his feline form even in his sleep-- that had been a large part of his early training, learning how to maintain his form as a cat--, and so, when he woke up several hours later, he was still a little black cat being snuggled by Dorito and Cheeto. His purring started up again as his tail curled and uncurled around Cheeto's wrist, only to switch to Dorito's hand, then back to Cheeto, etc.
