Sheena listened, stroking the kitten as it searched for a comfortable spot against her chest to settle down. At first the story sounded interesting, and somewhat familiar with someone being the sacrifice, willing to accept the suffering of other to ease their pain. It sounded like something Colette would have been willing to do if she were capable.

Yet, as the story continued, the ninja felt a cold chill creep up her back and her eyes widened slightly. Tattoos so extensive they ended up in the woman's eyes? Skinning the tattoos to like worship somewhere else cause the woman wouldn't...sleep? Was that an allusion to her dying or something?

And then the whole killing the woman's lover who only wanted to see her one last time... It was horrible! Sheena was about to answer Miku when the kitten had squirmed enough to bury it's cold nose into the ninja's cleavage. Sheena's nerves were already on edge, so she jumped and almost freaked out.

"Gyaaah!" She shuddered and extracted the little furball from attempting to make use of the warmest location on her body. "Hey now... I didn't say you could go there." She picked the kitten up to eye level, her breath coming a lot faster than it should have. "I bet you're male," she said and a quick glance confirmed it. "Figures."

Setting the kitten firmly in her lap, she started petting it again, amused that it started purring. "Uh... yeah... go ahead." She paused. "I'm not scared or anything."
