Ru- "You're amazing. Hello little guy." He reached out to pet the cat gently, and leaned over his legs to get a good petting in, trying to offer his hand to the cat. I can talk to animals... He says to himself thoughtfully, while continuing to try to pet the cat, who is pouncing on offending feet and generally interested in his being. He thought about calling Demetri and asking him about this, but decided that it wasn't something he was going to think about right now.

It still seemed to be a one-way communication. But it did make it easier to pet him. The move went something like this:
When Ru came in high, Cat- "Uh oh! Death from above!"
When he lowered his hand and came toward the face, Cat- "It's comin' right at me!"
When he angled his hand to the side, Cat- "Hm. That might be for petting."
When touched the side lightly, Cat- "I dunno. Kinda wimpy. Is it about to kill me?"
When he started to work fingers into fur, Cat- "Hm. Feels good. Cold fingers. Aw yeah."
He purred.

Ru- Ru laughed and played with the cat, who seemed to make everything feel better. He didn't have any pets at home, but suddenly his new friend seemed to make everything so much more bearable. He decided that tomorrow he would ask to get catfood for which to feed said cat.
That would work nicely. It already lived here after all.
He continued to pet his new friend, and looked for a tag. Barring any he decided he would name his new friend "Harry"

The cat had no collar, so he must be Harry for now. He was fun to play with for a while, but then Ru started to get really groggy and weak, and the world went eerily dark. He realized he couldn't understand the cat anymore or see his body heat or smell him so acutely. Morning. The heavy curtains kept out the sun completely, but it didn't matter. He knew it was there. Harry- "*snrt snf*"
Harry sneezed and shook himself out. He seemed interested in leaving, like he wanted something elsewhere. It was hard to understand though, because of the haze descending on the young vampire.

Ru- Ru left the cat to do cat things, and eased into sleep himself. He seemed very at ease right now, at least, as much as he could be.

...And then Ru was
DEAD!
DEAD, I TELL YOU!
A corpse he remained until the following night...
((We'll resume this within a day or two I think.))

Ru woke up to the sound of a rapping at the bedroom door and Demetri's voice. The door had been left open that night, so Demy's voice was very clear. Ru's senses started to come alive and he knew the sun had set.Demetri- "Ru, there are new clothes for you in the dresser. When you're ready, we'll be in the parlor."

Ru- Ru woke with a start, and looked towards the sound of Demetri's voice. He had been very respectful of their personal boundaries thus far, he had to say.
He did as he was commanded and dressed as soon as he could. He slept in clothes so it wasn't too dramatic a transformation, though he was a little stunned by his appearance without make-up or dye. It was like looking at an alien creature. He could be a supermodel if he kept this up.
He was reminded there were no undead supermodels, and finished fixing his collar without further concern."I'm ready Demetri." Ru wandered out towards the parlor to join the others.

It was just Cameron, Harry, and Demetri tonight. Demetri- "Good evening."
Cameron- "Hey, Ru."

Ru- "Hello guys. I have your sense of style tonight. It's like you have two..baby vampires, Demetri. Isn't that more work?" He wandered over to Cameron in a familiar sort of way and managed a half-smile. The look complimented Cameron, he had to say. Demetri had good taste. "What are we off to do today? Oh Harry! Hello little guy, I should get you catfood."

Demetri- "Not a problem... That one? I call him Pineapple, but you can call him anything because he doesn't recognize his name."
Harry/Pineapple- "What is it? A vampire. Familiar. It is like the one in the room."
Cameron- "Now this is weird. What's up with the cat talk?"
Demetri- "You can intuitively communicate with animals. As you can tell, they have a limited understanding and memory, so you have to keep the thoughts simple. Also, really intend to 'speak their language', rather than simply thinking or speaking Glennish at them."

Ru- "Oh Pineapple! How sweet. Oh ahem..How do I focus on their language? Like I focused on you?" Ru studies the cat, and wonders how indeed he could focus on its language. Does he think like a cat? He would focus on being a cat, to see if he can speak its language for himself, and then tries to ask the cat "Do you want food?"

Demetri- "For calling? Mm, not quite. Let's see..."
Harry/Pineapple- "Food! Where is the food?"
Demetri- "Interesting. Could you hear yourself? You were actually still speaking Glennish, I think, but with unvoiced consonant sounds and incomplete grammar. But he understood. I wonder what that means?"
Cameron- "The cat I got, but Ru I did not understand."

Ru- "I asked him if he wanted food. Do you have any meat or fish for an animal? Or cat food? Hm, I should try not to speak out loud." Ru concentrates on thinking about food.
Food now?
He asks the cat, wondering if he could offer it any real food. It didn't feel right offering little Pineapple nothing, but he wanted to know if he could make this work."Ah, um, I think I am sort of going between languages and making no sense in either."

Demetri picked up Pineapple. Demetri- "Maybe so, but there's plenty of time for learning. We'll take this lad to the food on our way, but we must put in an appearance with Tomasz before we leave tonight."
Pineapple- "They have me again."
Cameron- "Aw man."
