Was Jordan a rule follower?

It suits you. I've enjoyed seeing what you've done.

[callmeles]

It depended on the rule and if she felt like it. She did have a strong moral compass though and was always thinking about the innocents.

I appreciate that, Kaz. I can’t say I enjoyed it initially, I enjoy finding out who I am now. I have learned a lot over the last several years.

[noreasonneeded]

Yeah. I know someone like that.

I mean, I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement...

[He has to give her some shit.]

[callmeles]

Hah! Well, you wouldn't be wrong.

Speaking of improvement... I'm sending you my latest forgery practice letters.

[noreasonneeded]

The world would be off its axis if I ever was.

Excellent, I look forward to seeing it.

[callmeles]

[ An envelope arrives with the little hellion the next time she comes by for an "impromptu" but no doubt scheduled "play date" between the two. ]

Well there were a couple of times...

The hellion should be dropping an envelope off the next time she comes.

[noreasonneeded]

I'll keep an eye out for it, and her. She usually leaves things on the shelf rather than my desk.

[callmeles]

Is she at least consistent about which shelf?

[noreasonneeded]

The highest, of course.

[callmeles]

Naturally.

I'm proud of her.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm just glad she hasn't yet started knocking things over to make more room.

[callmeles]

She's lulling everyone into a state of complacency until she she does.

[noreasonneeded]

She's purring on my lap like the most innocent furball in the world.

[callmeles]

Of course she is. At least you don’t fall for her tricks.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm just admiring her manipulation tactics.

[And enjoying the contact, because it's one that doesn't trigger any trauma. Perhaps both he and the hell cat get something a little selfish out of it. Her treats, him contact.]

[callmeles]

Give her a scritch for me.

[ She's really glad that the hellion and Kaz enjoy each other's company for whatever selfish reasons they do. ]

[noreasonneeded]

[He calls her so she can hear the cat purr as he kneads her neck.]

[callmeles]

[ At first, Piper is a little confused but then she hears the purring and she smiles at the sound. ]

The best of friends.

[noreasonneeded]

Until I have to get up, at least. Then I'm sure it'll be the death of me unless she's distracted by treats.

[callmeles]

Then you know what you need to do - give her the treats she demands.

[noreasonneeded]

Indeed. Or make a deal with her to swindle someone else out of their treats.

[callmeles]

Or the soul of an enemy. She's not exactly picky.

[noreasonneeded]

It's a wise way to be in the world. Having only one route makes it easily derailed.

[callmeles]

Especially a cat from hell. At least this way if there's any evidence of nefarious deeds, she can clean it up easily enough.

It's handy, I must say.

[noreasonneeded]

At least until she hocks it up as a hairball on your carpet. ... or lap.
